1990 Turbo Caravan ES

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

DOH! If this is the same van as your project thread, no wonder you blew out the head gasket.

still for sale?.

I have a deposit on it.
The person is suppose to be coming back tomorrow to give me some more money.

I do however have two other turbo vehicles still for sale.
A blue woody Mini Van & a red/silver Sundance.

And $8,000 for my van.

So Dave and Big PSI, you both listing the same cars in your sig?

No wonder i was confused when I was looking at some older posts on minivan stuff...
Ya, I hope you were tuning based on your wideband readings if the cat was installed.
It would have been fine if you had a test pipe installed.

Bryan aka Dave has a claret red ES Mini Van while I have the Silver ES Mini Van & the ice blue SE Mini Van.

We haven't really changed the tune since Before installing the cat converter. Its roughly the same just minor changes in base fuel pressure.

Well HOLATTA is SOLD...

I will get the final payment tomorrow.

On Sunday I will take it and get the exhaust redone with a new bung in the correct location;
NO cat; 3" dump tube; and a 3" bullet muffler.

The exhaust will still come out on the passenger side below the sliding door.

After the exhaust is complete, Bryan will reset the A/F with the wide band & adjust the boost to 18psi.

Then I will deliver the van to the buyer.

The one thing I like is that the new owner told me that if we ever want to borrow it we could.

My van will make the 3rd 1990 Turbo Mini Van that he owns.

Plus he has a TBI 5-speed 1990 Mini Van. He also has a giant collection of Diesel Vehicles.

I will miss HOLATTA, to be sure, but I have to sell one to get one.

Got the van back from my exhaust guy, and man what a difference between the old exhaust and the new exhaust.

The old exhaust was 3" but it had a cat conv, muffler and the 02 bung was after the conv (duh).

So I bought a couple of 3" diameter pipe, one straight and one with a 45 degree bend in it, a bullet muffler, a new wide band 02 bung, and a 3" dump tube.

Bryan (my son) reset the a/f ratio and moved the boost up to 19 psi, dang it is quick now..

I can't wait to see what this will do with a Boost Button 3 bar calibration and 28 psi of boost once Rob comes and tunes it for the new owner.

PS---Bryan will post pictures of the new exhaust tonight with some video.
