Turbo minivans! the ultimate sleeper...

[93sleeper]

Take a look at this:

Guy claims he runs close to 30 PSI boost and runs 12's...in his DODGE CARAVAN!:ylsuper

[whiterps13]

i think im gonna puke. however, i did see rj de vera's mom has a totally pimped out turbo odessy

[Altiman94]

I love those things. I will one day own one..

[D1SR240]

wasn't there a video of a guy who put like a DSM motor into a minivan and made it all wheel drive, that thing was fast.

[916drifter]

Theres a video floating around of a turbo minivan vs a Z28 and the minivan beat it... like 12 secs on the 1/4.

[crzycav86]

Yup. That guy also has an autox cavalier.

He was a fellow member of j-body.org before I converted to the dark side.

[Dattebayo]

My other car is a dodge minivan too... but i bought the wrong model i guess, only a V6.

Sounds like that guy from the teckademics video that put the DSM motor in his hardbody truck.

[whiterps13]

after endless searches, i found it. http://www.speedoptions.com/fe...ID=55

I think it runs quicker then that, if we're talking about the same one. The one I'm thinking of has a big soccer ball on the back.

It's been on entensity and funfreepages so I will definatley try to link you guys, it owns the z28, just ****ing insane.

I just got rid of my 1980 toyota tercel. It weighed 1800 pounds gutted, and I was looking to drop the 4AGE motor in it, the 92' corolla engine with VVT, rated @ 200hp/200torque. That would have been a sleeper. Things didn't quite work out, prices for custom wire harness, and I had a uni-body frame w/ rusted underbody, they said if I came off the clutch too quick it would torque the frame. So that was gonna be my ultimate sleeper, but oh well. We went off roading in it, and I hit a tree and wrecked it. Paid 100 dollars for the car.

That is retardedly cool.

I've always liked the "vannig-soku" van tuners from Japan. You wonder what the engine compatibility situation is on some of those Japanese minivans. SR20DET in a Quest, 3SGTE in a Previa, etc..., someone should try that.

[sci0n]

3sget? isnt that the american turbo celica version? the AWD one?

That engine rips, i think it was also in the MR2 engines in japan...

DAMN YOU FOR PUTTING THOSE THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD

[HashiriyaS14]

3SGTE was in the Celica ALL-TRAC/GT4 (ST165, ST185, and ST205), and in both the JDM and USDM SW20 MR-2 Turbos.

It's also the engine that powers the Top Secret GT300 Widebody Supra;)

[oldsoul]

i gotta get the pennysaver and hit the junk yard. i need a 12 freind carring sleeper

[sci0n]

the honda vtecs haul *** especially once they hit 3rd. i underestimated my friend because i mean, its a freaking minivan.

[silkk]

i think im gonna puke. however, i did see rj de vera's mom has a totally pimped out turbo odessy

she had turbo and nos and only ran 16's

[Mr1der]

those vans are so incredibly cheap to get and cheap to make quick.

that engine can have a complete rebuild kit for like 400 bucks too I think....

if you get lucky, you may actually find one with a 5 speed too:)

There's a guy in Louisville who has a 4g63 in a summit AWD Minivan. I've actually seen it IRL, he stopped by the NICO rooftop meet.

It's crazy, i believe he only had a downpipe on it, so all you hear is spool, and you're lookin around for a talon, or an eclipse, and BAM it's the freakin busted up minvan

[sci0n]

Weight is a big factor. Was it gutted? I will be dead honest here. My old grand am, 2900 pounds. I womped every civic around these parts. Just to make fun of them. Freaking coffee cans on their exhaust. I wreck it, get my malibu. 3100 pounds, I'm lucky if I can beat a civic, let alone pull it by a car or two.

If you seriously gutted a minivan to barebones, IMO, it would fly. Down here there's a place called 28 where people race, it's by a BK. Sometimes guys take their moms minivans down there. It's just minivan vs minivan, so it's nothing groundbreaking, but it's still fun to watch.

[oldsoul]

its like the MINI VAN NATIONALS LOL

[w1ngzer0]

ugh make it stop. My eyes they hurt now

[Dattebayo]

So get new glasses, cause this is the coolest thing i've ever heard of or seen. Yes, davis, this IS retardedly cool.

Im definately gonna have to get a turbo minivan to replace my shiddy V6 van and i will strip it to the bones in the rear, save for maybe some tools (strapped in well, of course).

[sci0n]

Do it. Pictures and everything. Ah, If I had the money, you could probably drop an RB engine into a Quest. I'm guessing with conversions it would be VERY expensive, but then again, you can pretty much make anything fit in there as long as you have the money. There was a thread reply to mine where a guy put a v8 turbo into his 92 celica (might be 91 or 93 cant remember) Fit usually isn't a problem, the money factor is.

Windstars are also decent. I'm gonna try to get some video of the guys racing their vans if they do it again. There is a car show there every weekend and they do it sometimes before the show starts.

[whoflungpoo]

ah... found the one i was talking about:

[lilvtboigotrice]

ooh....my parents have a 99' dodge grand caravan with sport on the side and some aero kit, this gave me an idea.....3.5L v6 turbocharged....ultimate sleeper :ylsuper

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

my parents just bought a sienna. those have camry V6's. it'd be pretty cool to strap a TRD supercharger to that.

[sci0n]

drop a 4AGZE in there.
