can the bugo sticker be shipped worldwide? I am in france and I think it would be cool to have 2 of em, to give em to some of the rare yugo collector I see lol oh my bad i didnt listen till the end of the explaination - worldwide for free! thanks you! I might order one then!
Wow, I can't believe the level of detail Flux put into this one. Going as far as cutting holes into the body to represent the rust issues these vehicles had. Another top-quality build as always 🙌
I think is genuinely possible to do this irl. Of a V6 rental car can have the V6 swapped for a V8 in afew days (tavarish) then I could probably do the same to my grandmas caravan that has the same V6..
@@BigChungus-no1ve a normal caravan, build quality and all. but with a digital dash, active sus, and a supercharged big block V8. (And RWD for some reason)
I can confirm that suspension is on point, and don't sleep on the Pentastar 285hp and the first three gears are really close together. Also they will use the entire speedo.
I can confirm that. Worked for FCA/Stelantis for years and that Grand Caravan would easily light up the tires from a stop. And the first three gears are impressively close together for a minivan. Spot on!
I too can confirm the minivan has first 3 gears real close, even past 2010 models, the car also does indeed use its whole speedo like its nothing, dodge probably should've made it 140 mph speedo?
I had a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan, it was one of my favorite vehicles I've ever owned. The day before my bday someone hit me and totaled it. Only got to enjoy it for a week.
All you need is afew thousand dollars, and a hellcat RedEye V8 and you might be able to swap it out. Tavarish swapped out the pentastar V6 in his challenger for a hellcat V8 with relative ease, so it's probably possible to do the same with a vehicle with the same engine. Also my grandma has an 2014 caravan. It is the base of all base models. It would be a fun idea for someone to make a 1000Hp caravan with hellcat engine, mabye suspension aswell. But the suspension is probably not the same as the challenger so unlikely.
Y'know, it's funny. The Grand Caravan actually has 225/65R17 tires all around, so I'm not sure if you meant to do that, but you nailed it. The suspension, too. MacPherson Strut front, and I-beam/Torsion rear suspension. But the brakes are single piston, solid disc rear, and dual piston, vented disc front. The transmission is a 6 speed with manual mode. Hydraulic rack and pinion steering. Also, the Grand Caravan can be gotten as a 7 seater, not an 8 seater. Other than those nitpicky things, you got it pretty darn close. Well done. And yes, the Chrysler Town and Country did come with a 4.0L V6 early on. It was a Mitsubishi V6 if my memory serves.
I own irl a 2005 Ford Excursion, and totally understand about not ever wanting a minivan. I like the larger vehicles. I am currently building a Ford Excursion as detailed as possible in Automation, and it is starting to look pretty awesome
Hello! I own a 2012 version of this same grand caravan, and would like to say that I can give you the proper suspension setup to it! We have indeed the struts (if i remember correctly) but the rear has timbren suspension instead (which i find a weird choice to be honest) Hope this info helped with suspension choices!
But no mom ever touched R-klasse, (due to family budget), so the "Sleeper" disguise woun't work for that body, and there was no factory option of anything bigger than 3.2 for Vito. :P
My grandma has a caravan.. the panel fitment on.. everything is honestly depressing. There is like and inch of stick out on the bumper to fender on bother sides.
@@Kommisar_Lutter They are the best rally cars in Hungary to this day (mostly because the whole build used to cost less than a decent PC) all you have to do to them to make them be able to handle terrain was replace the shocks and springs or put a piece of the fence you probably have lying around somewhere, and put either chains on the stock rear wheels or get some used oversized off road tires and put them on the stock wheels (maybe even weld the diff) , and it would be a cheap fun car
I did my first driving exam in a 2016 Silverado with a lift and exhaust and no side steps, the examiner almost couldn’t get in. Second exam I did in a long wheel base sprinter van, the van was almost the size of a school bus
hey, your version looks newer compared to mine, but mine doesn’t have an update, how to i get the harmonic dampeners, new turbo menu, and newer accessories??
the Dodge caravan or Chrysler voyager are discontinued but the model is still manufactured under the Lancia brand and still named voyager and the bigger version grand voyager
@@MrBigGames495 well the town and country is the same van in Europe they are known as the Voyager and grand Voyager so before they got in to the Lanica brand
@@MrBigGames495 the town and country is the same car as the Chrysler voyager and Lancia voyager just different names depending where they are sold and build just like the volvo 245 is called a 240 estate out side of Sweden but the same car
I’m not sure why you have so many more engine options than me. I can’t even choose between single or twin turbo on any of the motors I’ve built. Single turbo is always my only option. And a bunch of other things you have that I don’t. Anybody have any ideas?
Chrysler and Dodge made the 4.0 models but they were usually for the more premium version For example Dodge it was the SXT plus that came with the 4.0 and for Chrysler it was the town and country limited that came with the 4.0 but usually the 4.0 was a crap motor in the vans well as well all the other cars it came in. If you wanted an absolutely bulletproof motor for the early generation dodge and Chrysler vans such as the 2001 to 2010, you would want to get the 3.3 of the 3.8 the 3.3 and 3.8 of the exact same motors but the 3.8 has a bigger water pump. And both of those engines will run until the vans Wheels fall off or it rusts to pieces. I had a 2006 caravan with a 3.3 and it ran up until almost 260,000 miles until the van caught fire once by converters were cut. I've always loved these vans
Use nitromethane if you want to make a minidragstervan, today i tried it and yhe horsepower doubled without making any change to the engine, maybe you can do a 10k horsepower 🤣
I can’t say if there is background music or some sort of air conditioning in the background. If it’s music, PLEASE change it, it would make your vids so much better
its gonna sound like cap but i still own a 2012 grand caravan with original motor and 300k miles, all dodge trans are shit but on god that pentastar v6 is bulletproof
My grandmother has a '14 caravan. I did some research out of curiosity one day. Turns out it has the same V6 (pentastar V6) at the dodge challenger/charger. those can Have a 800Hp super charged V8 dropped in with minimal changes as far as I know. So therefore, this is entirely possible irl.
@@automotiveflux there's a well known TH-cam channel who was planning on doing a Hellcat/Redeye swapped Grand Caravan but there's been no updates for quite some time now on the status of the project.

Amazing 😮 love your content!!
Nice vid
Always wanted to do this to my mom’s 14’ grand caravan. Would have called it the hell hound
I love having a transverse HEMI, not an eyesore or a blight on God's creation at all.
Pontiac Grand prix GXP has a transverse 5.3 V8. Thats close
Life finds a way to make everything transverse
All that torque to pull the kids to school
"who would buy a 475 hp minivan?"
Me.
Definitely me.
Finally a serious build
I have a Caravan. You have inspired me.
MORE SLEEPER VANS !
Just remember that Mercedes R63AMG existed. Just a minivan with 6.2 v8, with 550hp. Normal Mercedes stuff.
But no mom ever touched R-klasse, (due to family budget), so the "Sleeper" disguise woun't work for that body, and there was no factory option of anything bigger than 3.2 for Vito. :P
If dodge decided to make the Durango a little more...nostalgic..
Those holes are just your standard dodge rust

Why though

Not red

We have these as work vans, that pentastar is shoehorned into that bay. However, the intake is so tall a supercharger would fit with almost no effort.
2019 dodge grand caravan 3.6 v6 has 283 horsepower
I saw a tik tok where a guy talked about this exact same concept
