If you've been to the Midnight Mayhem in Las Vegas 2 years back, you may have seen this van beating the ZR1 Corvette, a few Evo's, STi's, Mustangs and F-bodies. One night it was there with car seats on the back because it was transporting kids in the morning and we forgot to remove them lol. If you don't believe me, there is a video below.

04 Chevy Epress AWD Turbo
46,000 miles
8 Passenger
Doors on both sides
Power Windows and Locks
Dual A/C with rear controls
Tow package
Multi CD
Onstar
The Build
It was carefully planned and designed by Tyler and my friend Jon (1320) to be the ultimate daily driving sleeper. It took them 1 year to build it, they sweated over all the little details to make sure this is a reliable van for Tyler's wife. The end result is a Van that anybody can drive, turn, and stop safely but with a hero mode. The hero mode is, thanks to all wheel drive, turbo, and perfect stall, this Van can launch out of the hole with 17psi without any wheel spin on regular street tires by anyone.
Work done:
72 MM Turbonetics Turbo with 1.00 AR Divided Housing
Quick Spool valve and electric exhaust cut out
Cummins Intercooler
Devils Own water / meth injection
Ceramic Piston coating and DEI Lava Wrap on all pipes
50 MM Waist Gate
Huge Trans Cooler and two radiators for coolant: never hot ever
5.3 WIth 317 Heads for near 9.0:1 Compression Ratio
Corvette LS6 CAM
ARP Head Studs
Built 4L80E From Rossler with PI 3000 Stall triple lock up (The tranny alone costs $6,500, without it, the original transmission could not have handle the power)
14 inch power slott brakes
Hawk pads
285/45/20 Tires
1 1/8 inch sway bar in rear (came with nothing)
KYB Mono Max Shocks
Electric Cutout
This van can be nice and mellow with the Electric Cutout closed, with the low boost setting it can be a very comfortable 500hp van. With the electric cutout opened, the van gets angry, boost goes to 17psi, and we start winning races no 6300lbs van should.
This AWD van goes, stops and steers:
Performance
60 Foot times 1.8
1/8 mile is 8.2
1/4 mile is 12.80
at 17 psi and 6300 pounds in Vegas
20,000 boosted miles everything works except AC.
(new compressor but needs charged)

Crazy I seen this van in person , haha it's pretty quick !! Me and the wife knew something was up when it pulled up to the line and then that thing just took off!! I was thanking god I didn't run againist it !! Haha and whats crazy IMO everyone runs slower times in vegas , in Vegas I was running 13.6s and then went to Cali and ran 12.8-9 so that van in good DA might run quicker? Anyways bump for the real deal I seen it in action !!

Look at the video, we actually let a few car jump first, but the AWD and 17 psi off the line just catches up in 1 car length or 2. Also, on the ZR1, he was not sleeping, the wheels were actually spinning and he wasn't going any where. It was an event called Midnight Mayhem, $10 for the night with un prepped track, it was very slippery.

Oh my God if I had 25k sitting around I would be all over that. Maybe the local ricer kids would bite against a van. They won't even try anymore when I'm in the t/a or truck. The van would be a great replacement for my 99 suburban, but oh well. Bump for an engineering masterpiece.

You obviously has no brain, since you don't realize how much something like this costs. This van is awesome enough to get attention of AMS performance and wanting to buy it.
You obviously don't know that we built this turbo van is because we have already done more than 6 turbo camaros and corvettes. We just want our tow vehicle to also make 700hp at the crank.
The van is sold, please lock.
