Dodge Minivan Drift Taxi with a Twin-Turbo V8

Published in engineswapdepot.com

Savage Racing NW built this 1998 Dodge Caravan as a drift taxi. The team swapped the factory motor for a twin-turbo 5.3 L LSx V8. It features a factory camshaft, upgraded lifters and oil pump, factory intake manifold with a Holley Sniper 85 mm throttle body, Holley 700 hp injectors, and Holley Terminator X ECU. In front of the motor are two eBay turbochargers capable of 500 hp each. Savage Racing has limited boost to 5 psi (0.5 bar) until proper dyno tune. Behind the motor is a Tremec TKX-600 five-speed manual transmission and Winters quick-change rear end from an oval race car. The minivan rides on a custom tubular front subframe with Dodge Caravan steering rack and Nissan 240SX suspension and brakes. In the back is a notched rear chassis with 3-link suspension and QA1 coilovers.
