Turbo Mini Van's Drag Racing


CHERRY

Recommended Posts

I just thought I would post up a video of two of our Turbo Charged, Intercooled, Mini Vans at Dragway 42.

 

We are still tuning them in. The goal for the silver Mini is 12.30 next spring.

The blue Mini is 14.80's

 

Let me know your thoughts.......

Are these things easy to make quick, or at least quickish? I have a relative who has one these turbo models, but as far as I know it's stock and just well maintained. Almost seems like he daily drives it. Are these in the video gutted or mostly full interior?

 

I love sleepers, so this is relevant to my interests :).

The silver one is gutted, with only the front seats (power on the driver's)

power front and rear windows and the dash -- other than that nothing.

It is an auto (FMRVB) with power steering & power brakes.

 

The Mini is still not tuned nor is it running the desired boost & timing.

We are only at 20 psi of boost and the timing is at 11 degress. Out goal is

28 PSI of boost, and timing of 13 degrees. We are also playing with the fuel prressure. Once this mini is done we are shooting for some 12.30 or quicker on slicks.

The Ice Blue Woody Mini Van is running almost 13 psi of boost with a T2 Garrett Turbo and a T2 Inter Cooler. The BFG Drag Radials were killing me as they were to short (they are a P205/50R14). My goal for this Mini is to run some 14.80 and no more. The only things removed from that Mini is the two back seats and the spare tire/jack. It also has a (FMRVB) in the trans.

 

Both Mini Vans get lots of ATTENTION at the track or while going to shows.

I like them so well, that I own 4 of them.
