Turbo Dodge Caravan in the 1/4 mile

[osvst]

.... i dont want that guy delivering my pizza ... he would get there too soon :P

[creepincaddiesnbenzs]

how much boost is it pushing??

[StuPadazzo]

Did anyone else kinda chuckle about how much involvement the crew for the tan car did checking and setting. While the grocery getter just sat there (waiting) with a smooth idle, quiet exhaust, 180 degree engine temp and no worries. It makes no difference if he won or lost (he won BTW) against the MoPar because he just walked up to the line and stood toe to toe with a car that was purpose built for racing and ripped off a 12.76 in the 1/4. Obviously the van has been tweaked but still... lol

[TomOkkaTom]

606mph???? seriously?

[Joseph9536]

They said 106mph

[rokmongo]

@TomOkkaTom That you would think that makes me cry.

[TomOkkaTom]

@rokmongo No I don´t ;)

thats faster then most planes :D

[rokmongo]

@TomOkkaTom lol

[Captainbob25202000]

the "grocery getter"!!!! hmm i wonder!!!

[JordsterMovies]

wooooow. Ugly as hell. But pretty impressive. (I would have been impressed at 14!)

[onearmedmario]

whoa i ididnt know caravans are faster im only 9

[turbovanman]

They take some work to run 12's, its not easy but when you get there, its priceless, :0)

[ryu1036]

dude ur mom is gonna be pissed when she finds ur drag racing her van. lol

[starchief59]

HAHAHAHAH that is fucking awesome

[Unstoppable189]

i just got my license and i've been driving my mom's caravan, its got a 3.3L V6 with a stock centrifugal see me!, by the way i saw ur add on craigslist.... P.S fuck you asshole

[kustomcougar]

that road runner is bad ass

[DJisaBaker667]

yuuuuut

[ThisWorks8008]

lol dude my buddy just bought a block from a guy that has a turbo van.

ahh nothing like some 2.2L fun in a van

[ThisWorks8008]

unless its a 2.5L >.>

[boardskins]

They didn't put 2.5 s in the Caravan. 2.2L turbo 2 (intercooled).

[moparmattl]

For turbo motors They ONLY put 2.5 turbos in the vans because of the extra torque helped with weight, i have owned 3 of them :)

[boardskins]

Did not know that. Were they intercooled from the factory? I thought the 2.5 s were set up with Turbo 1's and not intercooled (I know that was the case with the Daytonas).

[moparmattl]

No they were not intercooled basically just like the 2.5s in the daytonas. The nice thing on the vans is that there is lots of space to add an intercooler. I have upgraded mine 3 times now. Do you have a Turbo dodge? Sounds like you know about them

[boardskins]

I have a 84 Daytona Turbo Z. I've owned four Daytonas: the z, a 87 Pacifica, a 89 ES 2.5 N/A, and a base 84 Daytona 2.2 N/A. I'm keeping the Z, but would like to get a T2, especially a Shelby, perferably a 89.

[rsobrien]

incorrect

[bunkyboy1]

That's a real sleeper.

[electricshockproof]

Perhaps THE real sleeper.

[youyou2btoo]

my horrible life is vindicated!

[counterclockwise123]

i had my 1995 voyager up to 140kmh yesterday!!!

[Twenty6centplaya]

thats like 65 mph. lol

[counterclockwise123]

more like 85!!! but yeah that is slow 20 more and i maxed it still slow thought

[0to60in16seconds]

you are an idiot

[odelgado78]

great voyager! i want one!! to blow away some ricers!

[shitfaced905]

the vans a shit box my 71 s chevy will kik its ass.

[masterlee123]

The 1980's Dodge caravan and plymouth tobro were better made then today minivans. They don't have the hi-tech but they have that mighty K-car design platform. I love those 80's cars.

[fourstar7]

Voyager engines are pretty tough. they can hold a lot of boost.

[who2bethe1]

I must be dreamin THAT WAS A MINIVAN!!!!!!!!

[barresater87]

its not a dodge its a plymouth road runner haha ;o

[jayrq2o1]

lmao, its not a dodge caravan, its plymouth voyager, muahahahaha. its like saying, "thats not a 96 mercury villager, thats a 96 nissan quest!" MUAHAHAHAHA! NOOBLET!!! i <3 car newbs.

[takutaq]

this is not caravan

this is plymouth voyager

[sspat1976]

left lane was a 69' 440-6 pack roadrunner i don't think he lost i hope not it was close.

[supermanjamil]

This is no ordinary Soccer Mom Van AKA. S.M.V. :-)

[HondaRidin1991]

that vans awesome i own an 89 turbo caravan..love it. how many lbs of boost is in that thing??? nice!

[generalgruesbeck]

Is that a '68 or '69 in the Left lane?

[generalgruesbeck]

Even if this is not stock minivan, which we all can see that the Roadrunner isn't stock either, it is still a FOUR Cylinder engine Running Against a V8 - 4 more cylinders! And it does this? That is Great! Pulling the seats out would make a huge huge difference! Those 2 bench seats aren't light and pulling the passenger seat would also make a lot of difference!

[r00tcause]

Of course it isn't stock. It's a modified 2.5 liter *commonblock* turbo motor. (which  was a factory option for this model van)

[generalgruesbeck]

What I would really like to know is, how do you By-Pass the onboard computer to make it go over 87-89 mph?

What amazes me every time I get on the freeway, is the fact that other cars which you know have a larger motor can't stay with me. If the 3.3L V6 is better than the 2.5L I4, that 3.3 must be a powerhouse with a turbo!

[r00tcause]

It doesn't have a speed limiter - so there's nothing to bypass.

[generalgruesbeck]

I bet that the fellow that posted this video never dreamed that this much controversy would have come from him posting this classical example of American ingenuity, Our ability to produce the strongest most powerful engines in the world! And all we can do is bicker about how much we know about the Manufacturer. Chrysler dominated the Racing Circuits for many years!

[generalgruesbeck]

This comment is directed at: "r00tcause"

You about stupid enough to tell me and others that the Ford Motor Company made a 400 Modified. There is no such critter! There is a 351 Modified and a 351 Cleveland and a 351 Windsor. The 400 is its' own block built to be a 400 CID engine ONLY! But, of course you knew that, right? Same way you knew so much about Chrysler and don't know your ass from a hole in the ground!

[r00tcause]

Wow, what is your problem, I never said anything about any fords? Now your just making crap up.

[generalgruesbeck]

Get the book Roush Racing and you'll learn something about Fords. Plus, I have a Ford truck with a 400/408 cid (.030 over) flat-top TRW Forged pistons with 351 Cleveland heads ported and polished/SS Valves & seats. $4500 into the heads. Yeah just making it up... as you put it. Why not the 400 heads? because of how they are ported - poorly designed.

[r00tcause]

Are you like, insane? I never once mentioned the word ford and yet you are arguing with "me" (really arguing with yourself..) about what motors ford did or didn't make. It's like talking to a crazy person. I don't care about ford. I commented on 2.5 dodge motor, on which I am an expert, end of story.

[Elitehacker07]

who gave this guy a thumbs up?!?! Argueing over the internet is like the specail olympics Race... Who ever wins is still a retard!! stop argueing...!!! XD

[generalgruesbeck]

Ford also made a 383 cid back in 1958/59 it came out in 1960 1/2 as a 390 cid. But you can still have a 383 from a 351 Windsor. Or how about a 454 Ford engine. Made from the all aluminum 351W. Camshaft is raised .050" to allow clearance for the 850 lift cam. Rock on Ford!

Just like the small 2.5 Liter Chrysler 4 popper no one thinks is any good see video for results

[generalgruesbeck]

Contrary to popular belief, the Ford 351W will withstand 24-30 lbs of boost. And then add to that 5% LP instead of NOS. Inject straight into intake. This combo along with 18" wrinkle walls will eat up a Dana 90 axle. Snapped in half! Never even got to 1/16th of a mile!

[generalgruesbeck]

What most people don't know is, 1989 was the first year for the "Tall Block" made specifically for the 2.5 Liter motor. Prior to they used the 2.2L motor block. Many new changes went into the '89 tall block. But then Chrysler only used it from 1989 to 1995.

[r00tcause]

You fail. The tall block 2.5 was produced in 1988, and it was designed for N/A. The 1989 block is referred to as a "commonblock". It's the same block whether or not its a 2.2 or a 2.5, the change is only in the pistons and crank. You can build it either way.

[generalgruesbeck]

What you need to do is inform Chrysler of this false fact and tell them they don't know what they are talking about! Bone Brain!

The Tall Block "According to Chrysler" was produced in 1989 (NOT 1988). The "Common Block" was the one you refer to and that common block was a 2.2 and they later made the 2.5 out of the 2.2 block. '89 is when the tall block came about and it was a new motor "According to Chrysler" Do you homework son...

[generalgruesbeck]

....it is people like you that irritate me most! They do not do their homework, they tell big tall stories about something they have no clue about and try to make people think they are so smart. You became stupid as soon as you opened your mouth! Before that, people actually thought you knew something.....

[r00tcause]

You know, if I was going to respond angrily and condescendingly to someone i'd at least make sure I was right. I've owned more 2.2/2.5's than you have. The tall block was *never turbo'd*. It was released in 88 as an N/A motor. The tall block was only in 88/89 cars and then it was canned.

[r00tcause]

I am correcting myself. The tall block was 86/88 I didn't mean to type 88/89. That being said, 89/95 are all commonblock - as I previously stated. Also, as previously stated, 86/88TB were all N/A only. Get YOUR facts straight.

[generalgruesbeck]

I am on my 3rd Right Axle, Midas is paying for them. The Chrysler axle was good, just dry rot boots. I guess I should have kept them.

[generalgruesbeck]

My 1989 Voyager non turbo gets right with the program - I've been throughly impressed! It will beat most V6 cars. Getting on the freeway, most small v8's can't stay with me. Not too shabby for a 2.5 Liter minivan w/80K miles. I was told to stay away from 4 cyl no power. Not so!

[kcarlady]

I have been telling my friends that these vans rock, but no one believes me. I LIVE MINE!!

[PKudu]

I don't see any stock Jap cars running 11's in the quarter.

[ProfessorIgor]

you won't see any stock Mini-Van's doing it either !!

[CrayolaS7]

Pandabeat is right those POS comeros got raped by a fucking Evo. You domestic guys are so fkcn dumb havent u heard of the WRX STI and Skyline GT-R which both are way faster than anything GM makes.

[PKudu]

That movie is still a cartoon. The completely modified subaru can beat a stock camaro. The thing is that camaro is capable of over 800HP with light boost. Here's the problem though. The newest corvettes run 11's in the quarter mile stock. Throw some small mods into the motor and your running 10's all day long. And unlike the Subaru, the corvette's transmission won't grenade after a couple runs.

[finalfantasyXyuna]

my mach 1 is faster than a wrx and my car is stock.

[viperq]

Mini-Vans 4life.

[ThePandaBeat]

vipers suck. woud rather have Honda S2K anyday.

[viperq]

My van will kill your Panda

[ThePandaBeat]

u have teh candy van cause ur pedo, dun lie.

[viperq]

^_^

[CharlesCRS6]

holy fucking shit thats a fast van!

[litllenike]

i knew you could do tht to vans

when i get my liscence i m gonna do the same with my dads 94 mercury villager  fuck i knew u could do it

[omcx1]

Sorry, won't work. You need one of the old turbo charged MOPAR minivans. Nobody makes anything for the Merc and the engine probably could not take the beating like the 2.2 MOPAR engine can.

[litllenike]

o that sucks what do u think i would be able to do to make it have more hp and make it sound like it has turbo

[Polybun]

it does, and thats just the way mother mopar intended it!

[litllenike]

lol ok im justa gm kid thts all

[Polybun]

NUKE GM!

[litllenike]

wut u fukn asiancar lovin thing  dude any gm can fkn rape a import car from asia i dont care what u say stock against stock and mod against mod american muscle kicks any asian little bitch but i respect italian cars

[Polybun]

Like i said NUKE GM. People like you are the reason I say, NUKE GM! Mopar or nocar!

[litllenike]

ok well thts ur opinion diide but hey they got some pretty nice cars well at least u like american muscle and not someoimported lightweight fuel saving piece of shit

[Polybun]

An import is better than anything GM has ever built!

[litllenike]

well then i guess thts why u see more gms than imports

burn in hell dude and dont even reply to this comment because ur waisting ur time

[Polybun]

I know, you drive a General Motors product, so it was a waste from word one. Worse yet, your dumb enough to bring up GM on a mopar video... you should know what your asking for, dipshit.

[litllenike]

look u obviously have a thick skull , i dont care

as a matter of fact i dont even remeber how this started so piss off

[tranquil1987]

Hope you're aware Toyota and I think even Suzuki are teamed a bit with GM. Look at the Matrix and the Vibe. Also the Swift, Aveo, and Wave

[litllenike]

no actualy i wasnt aware im just concerning myself with muscle cars so im not paying anyattention to what gm is doing with toyota.

[muscletruckdude]

in 1969 chevy was pumping out 400 horsepower race cars.

in 1969 honda was making gay 30 horsepower cars that had chaindrives.they were pretty much 4 wheel mopeds.now honda does not have anything over 200 horsepower but chevy's corvette has 500 horsepower and gets between 27 and 30 miles per gallon.......

GM is the best

[valcom111t]

Honda has multiple engines making over 200hp. They also make several race engines, including F1 motors will 700-800hp.

And Chevy wasn't only making 400hp cars then. They were also making double digit horsepower shitboxes, just like Honda.

[ThePandaBeat]

well siad this ppl noe nuthing about japenese cars.

[valcom111t]

OMG I NOE RITE!

[ThePandaBeat]

HAHAHA, any import car can beat the shit out of your beloved shitbox u call american muscle. rent two fast two furious and see a mishubishi beating the crap of 1 of yur beloved cameros...

[PKudu]

2 Fast 2 Furious is nothing more than a cartoon. Are you one of those kids that uses that movie as a bible and then throws a huge wing on his Civic with a massive fart can and thinks he can smoke any corvette?

[ThePandaBeat]

wuts ur problem with my wing???? it gives downforce needed for steert racing. corvettes r poop.

[litllenike]

that pandabeat guy thinks he so cool with his hondas

i like the way u think its prob tru tht he belives everything he see in the movies

[foogan]

lmao so funny.

[litllenike]

ur RETARDED if that was an SS it would have raped and buried the mutsibishi o and btw muscle cars dont have all that anti scid bull shit the just have power none of all this futuristic stuff SO WHY DONT U JUST SHUT UP its just a movie dont belive everything in movies

[nickdip]

ROFL YES THAT'S AWESOME

[LBTVproductions]

worst part about weekday run what ya brung drag racing is that the announcer is usually favoritized.

[odelgado78]

[Munden4411]
