    Description:

    Hey guys, I have decided to list my van for sale.

    1989 Plymouth Voyager, currently with 154k miles. I purchased it from the original owner in 2012 with 112k miles. Bought as a rust free, clean title, garaged Colorado van. It is probably one of the cleanest turbo vans.


    Current Stats:

    Engine:
    -Stock 2.5 shortblock, reringed/ new main/rod bearings at ~140k miles.
    -Balance shaft case gutted, oil hole plugged.
    -Oil pickup enlarged
    -3" custom intake to turbo with 9" cone filter
    -52mm throttle body
    -Treadstone TRV1859 720hp intercooler/ 2.5" piping
    -TurboXS RFL Blow off valve
    -Crazyeye reworked 1 piece intake
    -portmatched and deshrouded valve swirl head
    -Felpro headgasket, Mopar performance head bolts
    -Comp cams 26995 valve springs and 774 retainers
    -PT cruiser lifters/shims
    -turbosunleashed ported exhaust manifold
    -46 trim T3/T4 with stage 1 .63 turbine, ported compressor housing
    -2.5" swingvalve ported to 2.8"
    -3" downpipe to electric cutout before cat. Stock exhaust catback.
    -Underdrive pulley/belts
    -Poly front motor mount, poly filled side/trans mounts
    -Custom catch can setup
    -180* thermostat, new radiator in 2015, replaced all hoses
    -1992 caravan radiator fan/ manual radiator fan switch

    Transmission:
    -Swapped a413 to a523
    -1991 big input shaft 3.50 a523, refreshed in 2014 with new seals, diff bearings, diff pin retainers, and preloads set.
    -running Redline MT-90 oil
    -TU stage III 6 puck ceramic clutch with ~3k miles.
    -Polyurethane bobble strut mount
    -Rebuilt factory Mopar axles

    Electronics:
    -Autometer Analog wideband
    -Boostbutton 3 bar cal
    -3 bar Map
    -Charge temp sensor

    Fuel:
    -+40 injectors
    -Walbro 255 pump in box, have yet to install

    Suspension:
    -Monroe sensutrac struts/shocks
    -1 coil cut off front springs
    -Poly control arm bushings
    -AC Delco ball joints
    -Polybushings 1-1/4" front and 1-1/8" rear swaybars

    Brakes:
    -Replaced Brake lines
    -Replaced pads/rotors/calipers/master cylinder in 2015

    Tires:
    -Michelin Defenders


    Best ET of 13.8 at 101mph on Michelin defender street tires on ~20psi (with a garrett T2 turbo). I am probably forgetting things, and if I have I will add them in.


    The faults: It needs a dyno tune to get it to it's full potential. The suspension clunks in the left front every once in a while. The trans has some light input shaft bearing noise at idle. The sheet metal below the radiator was cut to fit a previous intercooler setup.The these issues are not bad but I want them to be known to the next owner.

    This video was on 17psi of boost with a T2 garrett and through the stock exhaust (cutout closed).

    I'm moving to Michigan for a Job I recently accepted and will be living in an apartment complex without a garage, so I wouldn't have anywhere to work on it. Otherwise I would keep it, as it's too much fun haha.

    It is in California, a little North of San Francisco. I am moving in a week, but the van will still be in California until it sells or I decide to ship it to Michigan.

    How hard is it to go back to an auto trans? The only way I could do this is if the wife could drive it once in a while.

    It's not hard, super easy really. Going to auto I think is easier. I have all the parts if to do one if Jeff doesn't. Do you have a trans?

    It is still for sale. The a/c has been deleted, and no I do not have any of the parts to convert it back to an automatic.
