I really need something I can trust towing 6 hours with; I just don't think the van is going to cut it. It's a shame, because I really love driving it. But, I don't have the room/money for 2 daily drivers. So, it has to go.
This is an '89 Voyager that was originally a TBI/5-speed. I converted it to turbo with an '89 Turbo mini harness.
- 156k on the odo
- Maroon in/out
- 17" Dynamics racing forged wheels ($800 when they were new)
- Front seats are the sport buckets from an '89 Sundance RS (matching maroon)
- single rear bench seat
- CV front headlights
Here's what's been done to the van. If you want a ton more info about the build, check out my project log for it here (http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/showthread.php?43651-Base-model-2.5-TBI-Voyager-to-Turbo-project.&highlight=shelgame).
The following was done last year when I put it on the road:
- Rebuilt engine; I used a the best parts I had on my shelf to build up the 2.5 turbo shortblock. Stock size pistons (Mahle), T2 rods, new rings, new seals, bearings, etc. Honed the cylinders.
- rebuilt head (by my machine shop), 3-angle valve job, new guides, new seals, hottanked, etc.
- stock turbo cam
- PT lifters/shims (valvetrain is very quiet)
- stock 1-pc intake and throttle body
- stock T2 injectors
- T2 Garret turbo
- Daytona radiator/IC/fan/airfilter setup
- A/C condensor from P-Body
- A523 Large Spine from '90's P-Body
- Shifter from '90's P-Body (with Booger Bushings)
- Shifter cables are combo of P-body/Daytona
- New front wheel bearings
- New front brakes (pads and rotors)
- New front Daytona struts (using minivan springs cut 1 coil to lower it)
- De-arched rear springs + 1" lift blocks to get the height correct
- new air shocks on the rear
- new rear brakes (these were just done in September; new park brake cables and hardware, too)
- replaced the hood with a matching, non-peeling hood (have front fenders, too)
- new PB sway bar bushings
- new T3 clutch and PP, new throw out bearing
- new motor mounts (MP, not PB)
- 3" downpipe going into a Superflow 40 series, dual side exits (pretty loud, actually)
- upholstered headliner
- 'oldshcool' flashable SMEC and USB cable
Basically, everything on this van works as it should. I have driven it to work everyday for the past year or so, 25miles each way. I have about 12k miles on the rebuild. It has only let me down once, when the main ground wire for the body came loose. It runs great, very strong. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. I just can't tow 5k lbs with it. Which really isn't too much of a shock to me.
The only rust on it is on the pass side fender just behind the slider. I bought the spare fenders to use as a patch panel for it, just didn't get to it before winter set in. The paint on the roof is faded and there is some light surface rust up there. No major dents or damage.
Asking $2k obo, located in Whitmore Lake, MI just north of Ann Arbor. Looking to get a '93-95 Grand Cherokee to replace it with. So, I'm open to trades.
