# See 2018 Off in Smoke With This 727-Horsepower Honda Odyssey Burnout

Good riddance, 2018. I really don't have any good words to send this garbage year off, so I'll let the BoostedBoiz smoke it out instead with their completely insane 727-horsepower Honda Odyssey minivan.

(Van time starts around 4:50.)

The BoostedBoiz were in a festive mood on Christmas Eve, so they strapped a last-minute-purchase lighted tree to the roof for good measure. There isn't any place to plug it in anymore, so they've sketchily hooked a pair of [jumper cables](<https://www.thedrive.com/reviews/27505/best-jumper-cables>) to the tree's plug. That's fine, I guess? Sure, whatever.

He's even going easy on the van as he's trying to save the transmission but still manages to smoke the meats on this ultra-boosted minivan all the way up to third gear to break in their new shop site the right way.

Who knew Mom's old van could become the sultan of shred? [*Engine Swap Depot*](<https://engineswapdepot.com/?p=20816>) has the full build details for the curious, but they've swapped in a 2.2-liter H22 inline four from a Honda Prelude built and boosted up to 727 wheel horsepower using a GTX3582R turbocharger from eBay. It's the ultimate sleeper, and I love it.
