    If that Boise van had a turbo motor instead of TBI I'd be sending a payment

    You mean the woody?
    Heck, get it anyway and do a drivetrain swap.

    Someone needs to save that poor turbo van. Looks to be the same "Medium Suede" that was apparently pretty popular.

    Boise van has Turbo decals on the fenders.

    Buy them all Alan. Then it's one stop shopping for all of us.

    The engine pic is all TBI, unless that was pulled from somewhere else...

    The woody van is not turbo, the Boise brown van is turbo.

    I ran 16psi on my converted TBI engine in my old van, spiking to 20 sometimes. I let it freeze and cracked the block. I put the same tbi pistons (and rods) in another block with bigger ring gaps and im up to 15 psi again and still working my way up. Just wanted to get that out there.

    Dont push the red button.You hear me?

    Re: Turbo Minivan Wanted

    I share them now. I don't need to buy them now. I have tried to cure the habit. I am happy with the one I have.
    ....and too busy to doctor any up.

    Re: Turbo Minivan Wanted

    They show up all the time....and usually no rust. Just minor body or mechanical issues.
    BUT not as much as they used to.

    Re: Turbo Minivan Wanted

    I'm picking up the van tomorrow. I'll get some photos posted on he ride home.

    I'm putting together a plan for the van. I have a 1989 Mopar Performance TI Auto SMEC ready to transfer to a van SMEC case.

    Later on down the road after I sort out anything that needs sorting, I'll replace the top end with a mildly ported swirl head, Garrett TII turbo along with a ported exhaust manifold and 3 inch exhaust. I have yet to decide on intakes. I have one and two piece intakes to choose from. Some form of intercooler needs to go in there too.

    I'm not looking to build the fastest van around, I just have to keep the neighbor kid's WRX in check.
