Van Turbo Kit Availability?
Hi Guys,
I was looking around to see what people had done for turbo options on the E series. I figured I would have to build my own since all the postings I found said kits were no longer being made. I did a Google search and found this:
Hypermax - Product Display
It says it is specifically for the E series van and that it is in stock. I emailed them to make sure. They also have a hood mounted CAI available with it. Just thought I would share.

If you buy it and install it, make sure post the install pictures to the forum. Looks cool. But, I've read up on this, and there isn't a lot of options for a E250 + turbo. Aside from remote systems. Hopefully this system you linked to is legit.

when i searched several months ago, banks also had a kit listed for the vans, for a price of about 3000 bucks. i've been told the banks is better, but i haven't tried either one myself. in any case, the kit you linked to appears that it should fit. it should also fit my 87 with the 6.9, but for some reason isn't listed that way.

This would be down the road for me, if ever. It wouldn't be until after a Gear Vendor......and the Gear Vendor wouldn't be until after a new IP and injectors.

I pretty much thought I'd have to construct a remote system, like this: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post13097472 I'm too cheap to buy new.

I think that looks sweet. I'd kind of worry about water ingestion, but otherwise it looks badass.

Found this too. It turned out to be the build on the van that was for sale. Looks pretty involved. I kind of like the sound deading idea though.

I would think water would be an issue. At highway speeds during a downpour I will get a "Water in Fuel" light briefly. It could be because I am missing the plastic shield in my grill that goes over the intake tube.

Wow, that is tight between the doghouse and turbo. And my dog house is already really hot without the turbo.
I thought about using reflectex on my doghouse, but I'm surprised he put it on the interior side of the doghouse---i already have a hard enough time trying to get that doghouse off and out of the cab, so making it an extra 1" thicker would be almost impossible for me.

Besides wrapping the turbo, I wonder how else you could shield the heat.......
