hey guys...

my car is goin in the shop soon to have my evo motor put in so i had to get a beater. and what can be better then a 5 speed manual turbocharged minivan who's motor can handle 28 psi stock!!!!

wooooo this thing is fast...and no i'm not joking. the boost is set to 13 psi right now and will be increased to 19-20 psi when i get larger injectors. right now when i floor it in 2nd gear the tires light up....its sooo funny. i can't wait to get it registered and insured so i can start spankin ppl in my minivan

 

engine

 

intake i just made

 

thats crazy, but funny

 

omg its a 5 speed!!!!!

 

HHAAHAHA

 

god damn that things ugly. i can't wait to get a ride in it!

 

There's a whole site dedicated to the Turbocharged "Sleeper" Caravan.. In fact I know of one that routinely runs 12's in the quarter.. Can't remember the site name, but if you look in Google for Turbo'd Caravans you should find it. It was that site that turned me onto www.dawesdevices.com for the A/F indicator that I use..

 

I've seen a Dodge Minivan make either a 10 or 12 sec. pass on the track. Can't quite remember, but its incredible...Lovely machines

 

Damn...and I thought my old Voyager was quick off the line with its torquey V6...

 

yeah i've been researching these thing for a few months now...

www.turbominivan.com is one of the best sites out there

 

The pioneer of tuning those turbo minivans was a man by the name of Gus Mahon....one of the best, nicest, most wonderful people to ever grace any hobby, unfortunately he was taken from us in a motorcycle accident. He also had a car he named "slug" you guys can look it up on the internet....he used to race it at englishtown all the time...those turbo dodges are the KINGS of 12s and 11s for under $1000...I wish Gus was still around to see this...he would love this forum

 

i want one

 

AND Gus used to do it with a STOCK block....STOCK engine....STOCK turbo...yep thats right ladies...and fish valves for bleleds, lotsa gas and a big ol intercooler...Those Turbo dodges are the best cars for cheap speed....go grab an old Omni GLH...put a junkyard intercooler on it....crush the fuel regulator ( im not kidding) bleed the boost with a fish valve ( 5 bucks) and you will have a low 13 high 12second car....

 

Instead of beating the **** out of your beand new evo on the track...you can make your evo real fast...never disturb it with race fuel....go get yourself a junkard 2.2 or 2.5 turbo dodge car...yes go and get the one with 160k miles on it...dont worry it will run like a raped ape once u mod it...and it wont blow if your egt gauge stays happy.....those are incredible little machines...actually the best motors are the 2.5 turbo 1 cars....thats whats known as a "common block" almost indestructible...put an intercooler on it...try to find an early 2.2 turbo 2 intake....all junkayard pieces no one wants....u can screw together an 11 second car for 2 grand....
