My MV Modifying a Dodge Caravan

[Christ]

Well, I agree. While 40 MPG instant economy is quite do-able, 40 MPG average is quite improbable for these vans, (or any, I presume) without some serious mods.

I know they used to have 4cyl's and manuals...I'm just saying I wish they still did.

I know some one who has a modified turbo caravan that is probably the funniest thing I have ever seen.

I've seen a Caravan with a 2.4 Turbo/5speed swap that could walk the 1/4 in 12 seconds. That's a minivan.

I considered doing this briefly with my 2000, before deciding to knock off and just drive it.

Theres a DSM club in omaha and one of the guys has an OLD turbo caravan with I think a saab 9 3 turbo on it and its set up for atmosphere venting...a spooling and wooshing caravan is definatly a way to turn heads.

OK, this is not a Caravan so go easy on me but... speaking of tricked out minivans, check out these drifting Previas...

Now that's a minivan.

Mid engine, low centre of gravity. I'd hate to be the mechanic for that team though.
