Turbo colts are nice cars with 4g63 swaps like mine. Personally, people don't know WTF they are looking at with a huge ass BFG drag radial and FMIC on a colt, confuses the hell outta them. Gets their attention when you do 3rd gear burnouts though.

 

I have a video of a turbo caravan running what I recall, if I recall correctly, a high 12 or a low 13 with what they said was just a boost controller and a cutout. lol

 

Yeah, there are a few videos of them out there. I believe the one you are referring to had wood paneling and was racing a ws6.

 

its got more done to it than that....... go to www.turbominivan.com

 

There have been several owners of fairly quick vans. Gus Mahon which passed away about two years ago, Paul Smith which I haven't talked to in many years, not sure if he still races it and Dempsey Bowling. Several other vans, but those are the most popular.

 

i have a turbo new yorker.

it rox my sox

 

I'd sooo love to have an Omni GLHS Turbo! That's like the ULTIMATE sleeper if people don't know what it is! Lots of potential for those old turbo motors. I almost bought a turbo LeBaron, but hte head gasket was shot and I didn't have the time/money to fix it. I needed a beater asap.

 

every turbo dodge has a blown head gasket.


if it aint blown, you havent twisted it up enough.

 

Oh, I know the head gaskets go REALLY fast, but I just didn't have the time/money/place to do it. Now that I have access to a garage and air tools, an older turbo dodge would be a GREAT project that I'd look into!

 

its a three hour job...if that. most of the time, if you have done one, you can have it done in about an hour.
