    1990 Turbo Caravan ES

    I am putting my 1990 Dodge Caravan ES up for sale.

    There are many modifications that have been done to it .

    2.5 common block (bored .020)
    Forged pistons, new rings, arp rod bolts & nuts, arp head studs.
    T3/T4 Garrett Turbo with .63 a/r and a stage 2 wheel
    T-2 two piece intake (ported/polished/opened up for 52mm TB)
    52mm throttle body
    +40% fuel injectors, fwd perf fuel rail, AFPR, fuel press gauge
    braided steel fuel lines
    aftermarket cooling fan assembly with toggle switch to turn it on
    Engine Oil Cooler with braided steel lines
    Solid motor and trans mounts by Poly Mounts
    F350 Inter-Cooler from a Ford Diesel truck
    custom made I/C pipes, red couplers, t-bolt clamps
    Devil's Own Methanol Fuel Injection (15 gph)
    Zex Nitrous System (55 hp shot)
    2.5 inch swing valve
    3 inch diameter exhaust with cat converter (no muffler)

    Intake and valve cover were media blasted and painted heavy metal flake red and then clear coated (beautiful)

    The 413 transmission was rebuilt with Alto Clutches, Cheetah RFMVB,
    4200 rpm stall torque converter from Forward Motion, it also has a OBX Posi.

    All gauges are by Auto Meter: 5' monster tach with shift light, boost gauge,
    and mech oil pressure gauge.

    AEM Wide Band O2 Gauge and sensor.
    Comes with a new set of M/T Drag Radials mounted on 15 x 7 rims for the front -- rears and snowflakes rims and old tires.
    Interior of the Mini has been gutted behind the front seats to save weight.
    (right now the Mini weighs in at 3,020 with no driver)
    Mini has power steering and power front disc brakes, power front windows, power mirrors and power rear 1/4 windows (but they need switches)

    This Mini on low boost has run 13.25 @ 104.38 through the cat converter.

    First $3,500.00 gets it with a new head gasket just installed.

    Thanks for the compliment.

    I hope someone decides to buy it or one of the other two vehicles I have for sale.

    I just do the work for him. You couldnt come close to build this for that price. Really it will be sad to see it go. This van is iconic in our area.

    Thank you. My dad and I both like to think of any project we do as a rolling canvas.

    After all the effort you put it, it makes perfect sense to say that you should buy it from your Father

    Either way, good luck with the sale...if it had some creature comforts in it I would be more interested

    It has some rust, not allot, mostly in the rear quarters.
    The driver's door is sagging and hard to close but it does close and tight.
    You just have to close it harder than normal.

    I will take more exterior if you wish and post them tonight.
    Let me know Johnny.

    Thanks

    Why is the wideband sensor after the cat?

    YES, big time, the cat alters the readings, as the cat throws out oxygen, so if your tuning your AF, its wrong,

    Good catch Simon. When I originally installed the WBO2 I had a "dummy" cat in place. I guess they thought nothing of it when they welded the real cat in place. I never caught this. Lol
