How much you sell

I live in Malta where use right hand drive vehicles, and Japanese imports are extremely common. I see these vans all the time and other classic kei cars too. We also use kph rather than mph. These kei vans are geared like that as our speed limit is 80kph and are designed for torque rather than for speed. Those little engines can sit at 6k rpm all day long with no problems. Japanese reliability at its best! Our gas costs 5 USD per gallon so these cars are also easy on the wallet. Nissan GTR's (R34 and 35's) and other 'hard to import' Japanese cars are also very very common. We do not have strict import laws. The only problem is the high cost of registration tax on importing vehicles in an effort to reduce the number of cars imported into our small island. I've never been to the US and I'd love to as American cars are hard to come by (and very expensive to own.) Great video!

I used to have a Toyota Liteace. 2L diesel Non-Turbo "mini truck" although it was a 1 ton truck. Drove it 1200 miles down to arkansas from Canada and back. That was a heck of a trip. SD speed limit was higher then the truck maxed out at!

The gear ratio prevents it from going any faster. From what I can see is that your HP peak is around 5-5.5k RPM. Your final gear ratio needs to increase by about 10 to 20%. The Turbo is basically suffocating that engine. You can also use a small bypass hose in front of the turbo, lowering the PIS to get better top speeds. There's only so much that engine can take.

Love these things and the camper versions are amazing. I guess you were pushed or time, but It would have been much more at home on the back roads at 40mph _ these were never meant for the highway.

wow! that is an awesome drive... i have one but it has a .66liter engine, slightly bigger than yours. no turbos though but offers a 50hp. the newer ones with turbo offers a 67hp but it is much expensive because in japan, kei cars has to be under a certain horsepower. beyond that it falls to another tax bracket so much more expensive. but still, we tweaked it to reach 70hp and had smaller gears to increase speed at the expense of torque...

That van is beautiful
