1989 Turbo Dodge Caravan at MRP, 12.5@104 mph.

Fully load van with a/c, interior, full exhaust and auto, 3620 lbs with me in it, GT35R turbo, 2.5L 4 cylinder with a TIII 16 valve DOHC head. 27/28 psi, 12.5@104 mph, finally fixed my intermittant lean issue-baro solenoid was no good. Turned out to be the best run of the night but still had trouble spooling the turbo.

With a little more modding, you could beat the fastest of the new Comaros! What a hoot!

Thanks. I am redoing it over winter, cams and new pistons, and some time on the dyno, aiming for mid 11's.

Thanks.

I am freshening it up this winter with some new cams and pistons, then dyno time, aiming for mid 11's as faster than that, I need a cage which I don't want to install.

I don't know much about the older Chryslers and Dodge vans but, is yours a FWD?

[turbovanman]

Yes, its FWD, but I have an LSD so it really helps with the launch. I thought about going AWD but I don't have the energy anymore, lol.

Haha! I wonder what inspired you in the first place?

Ahh it must be great to have a minivan that fast. One would not expect the minivan beside him at a stop light can smoke his stock or mildly modified V8.
