Unleash
the Power of Toyota 4y through Engine Upgrades
Toyota 4y is an 8 valve carburetor or
fuel injected engine which gives a full throttle up to 94 horsepower and 4400
RPM of torque. This engine was mainly used in Toyota van, Stout, Daihatsu Delta
and Hiace. This engine gives enough power for the vehicle to run off the roads.
It can be made more powerful by rebuilding it by installing superchargers and
upgrading suspension and brake. There are many other upgrade options that you
might consider doing to improve the performance further. You just have to keep
the engine in its reliable state, make sure your upgrades do not downgrade the
engine performance.
The
materials you need to do the upgrades
To do this major task of rebuilding the
engine, you will need some basic tools that you see in a garage. Engine stands
to be needed to mount the engine, micrometers, cylinder hones, a piston pin
press and a compressor and a ridge reamer. You have to have some upgrades parts
such as an aftermarket supercharger, some big end durable bearings, high volume
oil pumper, and pistons. And many more as you wish for your car to have. Remember,
it is not a day long job. You can start in the morning, but you cannot end it by
going for a night ride with your friends. It takes a minimum of 40-45 hours
depending on your plans and your skills to apply the upgrades.
Some
ideas that will help you on this project
If you have decided to do the rebuilding
work at your home, then you should consider the fact that you can only go for a
basic rebuild at home. Some advanced rebuilding that involves high tech
instruments and parts can only be found in an upgrade shop. You should clean
the old engine properly after removing it from the hood and mounting it to stand.

step guide of your work and consider purchasing the latest forklift engines aftermarket parts in the category.
