Motor and controller for the electrification conversion of 1988 Toyota 4Runner

When converting a 1988 Toyota 4Runner to electric, choosing the right motor is crucial. The motor replaces the internal combustion engine and converts battery power into mechanical energy, impacting acceleration, load capacity, and top speed.

Key Selection Criteria:

  • Peak Power & Torque: Aim for ≥60kW and ≥220Nm to match 1988 Toyota 4Runner’s performance.
  • Speed Range: Ensure 6,000–12,000rpm for sustained power.
  • Voltage Compatibility: Select motors compatible with 300–400V systems.
  • Cooling: Opt for liquid-cooled systems for high-intensity driving.
  • Dimensions: Fit within the original engine bay to avoid modifications.
  • Integration:
    1>if your van type comes with automatic gearbox, you can use our direct drive motor connects with your original drive shaft and rear axle
    2>if your van  type comes with manual gearbox, you can connect our motor with your manual gearbox for easiest conversion steps

For reliable results, reference successful Daihatsu Hijet conversion cases and select brands with strong technical support. Our engineers at CMVTE have extensive experience in this field. Contact us to customize your solution.

How to choose the suitable Motor  for the electrification conversion of  1988 Toyota 4Runner?

 

dc dc converters
DC-DC converter for the electrification conversion of 1988 Toyota 4Runner

In the electric conversion of the 1988 Toyota 4Runner, the DC-DC converter plays a crucial role by stepping down the high-voltage power from the main battery pack (typically 300V–400V) to a stable 12V output. This low voltage powers the vehicle’s original systems such as lighting, dashboard, central control, and more, while also continuously charging the auxiliary battery, effectively replacing the function of the original alternator. When selecting a DC-DC converter, it’s important to consider factors such as input voltage range, output power (recommended ≥1kW), efficiency, protection rating, electrical isolation, and CAN communication support to ensure overall system stability. CMVTE offers high-performance, compatible DC-DC converters and complete solution support for Nissan EV conversions, helping builders reduce integration complexity and achieve a safe and reliable electric system.

lithium battery pack PDU
Lithium Battery pack soluction for 1988 Toyota 4Runner

Lithium batteries are the core power components of electric vehicles, especially for our popular Land rover defender.

Compared with traditional fuel engines, lithium batteries can provide a quieter and smoother power output for the vehicle. This is because the operation characteristics of the motor are not like the vibration and noise in the combustion and mechanical transmission process of the internal combustion engine, making the driving experience of electric vehicles more comfortable during the driving process.

Normally battery is customized based your mileage requirement and dimension list. We can customize due to your requirement.

Vacuum Brake Booster Pump
Vacuum brake booster pump system for 1988 Toyota 4Runner

In conventional fuel 1988 Toyota 4Runner, the vacuum assisted brake pump uses the vacuum generated by the engine intake manifold to provide power.

In the process of changing from oil to electricity, the vehicle power system is changed from a fuel engine to an electric drive system, but the brake system still needs help to ensure that the driver can easily press the brake pedal. The vacuum assisted brake pump can maintain this assisted function.

Compatible with the original braking system
Oil to electric conversion kits usually want to use as much of the braking system components of the original vehicle as possible. As an important part of the original brake system, the vacuum booster brake pump can be well compatible with brake pipe, brake caliper and other components.
