@c00345 - I custom made this setup. However, I have moved into another platform and my custom made manifolds are now for sale on ebay. Or you can contact me through brianpyun@gmail.com to discuss purchase.
@krazyraver69 - then you have no idea what you're getting yourself into when you try modifying a 3000gt. Take a look at IPS motorsports single turbo kit ...$8250.00
@krazyraver69 - everything that deals with my turbo kit is custom. even the driver's side intake manifold to keep down IATs. If you buy a kit from ebay, be ready for some headaches
no joke ..how many mpg and hp..im thinking of doing this swap to my mirage..dnt know if i should just do a conversion (dohc) depends on hp/mpg ratio ..dont want to stop every other day to get gas.. =P thanks
well thats alil outa my spending.. if ur serious about chopin it up how much for the motor or ur single t set up. i got a stock 95vr4 with a spun rod bearing im lookin for the best kinda fix cuz ima get a new motor probably but ima single it up when its fixed and that aint cheap
@Thug0000069 I'm going to sell the shortblock for $3500. It has JE Pistons, Crower Rods, Refreshed 2nd gen Forged Crank and built with a 9:1 CR. Also has ARP hardware. Built up by Ray Pampena from NY. Selling my heads for $2000. They have Ferrea SS Intake Valves, INCONEL Exhaust Valves, WebCam Racing Dual valve springs, 3rd gen Bronze Valve Guides, Ported/Polished and exhaust chambers knife-edged.
@3000gtrojo sadly, after I forged and rebuilt the shortblock and heads, cut new camshafts, new adjsutable cam gears and turbo mods, I never got it dyno tuned and I've decided to part it out when I get a chance. I'm overseas right now for school so it's just sitting in a storage facility right now until I can chop her up. It's sad and I really don't want to do it, but I need the money now. Grad school loans are a bitch!
daaaaaaaaaaammn thats harsh.... but yoooo .. u said u had it stock tt? how much u putting out with the single and since its not vr4 i kno its laggin like crazy..
sn3RT3CH - yes, originally I converted , my SL to a VR4 TT motor. But gradually upgraded turbos and then decided to go for a 1 of 1 with the turbo system you see now. Actually the fact that its a VR4 or SL does not affect lag, and since I'm FWD I have less drivetrain loss (no power lost to transfer to the rear like in AWD cars). But I see 5psi by 3500rpms with a stock 8:1CR VR4 motor. I built my new shortblock with a9:1CR so spool up should be even quicker and more responsive for the street
impressive . thats tru tho less power loss wit the fwd. but lol i got a 92 prelude si looking to get a 93-94 vr4 dont get me wrong in most cases i heard convertig the tt to single still has some form of lag but what is the largest size turbs can u use with out doing a whole bunch of fabricatin in a set up thats like half street half track still having crazy top end power like a single big turbo whuld like in ur gt now?
@SNIP3RT3CH - Twin 19T turbos,stage 3 heads, street cams, MAF-T Pro and S-AFC setup, pre-cat eliminators, ported stock manifolds, 3.5" DP, 3.5" exhaust, FMIC, Dejon tool Intake pipes, Denso 660cc injectors, Hotwired Denso Supra pump, HKS BOV...should net you about 500awhp on pump gas @18-19psi
@Thug0000069 - probably around $27-30k. The car is fully modified and the only thing that would be beneficial for the car would be to switch out my Speed Density E-manage Ultimate for a full standalone AEM. Name any other part of the vehicle and I can tell you what mods I've done to that part of the car.
@corleone171284 - Its worth it if you want to work on your own car, want to know the ins and outs of your entire engine/turbo system so diagnosis is a bit easier...and pretty much if you want your own unique car. Buy a new car that's fast from the factory is the easy way out haha... it's all about what your hobbies and passions are... are you a car lover or a car DIYer
No sir, I made this entire setup with my friend who is a triple engineer major (EE, AE, ME) who used to own a shop and do his own fabrications on 3000gts and stealths
What you are mistaking for an inline-6 is actually my intake plenum which has 6 runners... the engine is mounted tranversely and it has 2 manifolds...front and back... each ridding the exhaust from 3 cylinders each
omg dude i bet that was a fukin bitch cause theres no room to work in those cars just like the 300zx had to pull the motor on one for a turbo upgrade guy originally wanted gt30 turbos but there was not enough clearance so he just went wit gt28s and barely had enoguh room...
pure sex. Makes my 9b's look flacid. Got my wrx turbos waiting to be converted to 19t's, but still nothing compared to opening your hood up and seeing a big single staring at you.
It's a custom setup. I would sell my entire kit which includes, FMIC, custom Intake manifold and entire exhaust system for $10k...includes the GT42-71 turbo which has been fully modified by WOTM.
If you're really interested, I will send you pics of the finished look of the engine bay. It's really something...everything has been polished, chromed and thermal coated. I will also throw in my BADASS fuel setup for $1k.
yo what single kit is that and what was the pricing on it?? i am trying to get one myself but can only find the kit at ips for 6500 and thats w/o FMIC KIT
i have the '97 base 3000GT. V6 SOHC 12V, 161hp. What it has in looks, it lacks in power. i've gotten it up to 125mph. i was wondering if i could install a turbo in it, but i don't know much about that kinda stuff. i wish i could get a VR4 though.
You need a lot more than just the turbos. You also need all of the wiring and piping that goes with it. You need an intercooler and it MAY not be compatable with your tranny.
You should really just buy a VR4 in whole. You will save a lot of money and you get more stuff. A VR4 engine may run you about $2000 all together unless you can install yourself.
My opinion is just to sell your car and put a little more money toward a VR4 so you can also have AWS, AWD, Active Aero and natural speed that you won't get with a swap.
Yeah, I know it's hard to get rid of your first car. But its time for an upgrade. Consider yourself lucky that you started with an SL. My first car was a 91 Dodge Stealth Base and gotta a upgrade to a 94 SL.
LOL! yea my cute sl lol! i love him! 1 week ago i beated a 2004 bmw 3251 and a week b4 thati beated a benz 250 i think it is! i love my black stalion!
A new VR4 shortblock will cost you close to 4000 after shipping.... Buy a beat to hell with the best body condition you can find and then have 3SXperformance rebuild the engine, reinforce the transfer case, and drop in td05 16g turbos with all the mods you need to make 'em work. Thats what I did and now i have a beautiful VR4 with nearly 600awhp that i spent less than 25K on TOTAL (including the car's inital purchase). Thats the price of a new Civic Si.
you got robbed, including vehicle purchase price I got a 95 stealth, dropped in a VR4 block and custom twin turbo setup and a full interior and sounds as well and it cost me $5,876 and I'm pushing over 800 awhp. again you got robbed.
please tell me where you found all this for 5876.. cause i would love to know and 6 grand for 800 hp lol with all do respect but bullshit!! never will happen!! first off if its the TT version your more like 7grand for the car alone the Turbo kit no less then 3 grand and thats if your lucky not including FMIC.. interior gages alone if their good cost 60 plus!! 800HP bullshit!!
um.... try working for a turbo manufacture and getting it cause it "fell off the back of the truck" and getting the car from some 18 year noob who didn't know what they really had and how much it was worth.
lol ive been lookin for this video i made a comment about 6 months ago sayin some bull shit about havin weak trannies and the fuel injectors. dat was the stupid shit i was hearin from all the people dat where tryin ta convince me not to buy my 91 vr4. my bad sorry. now my 91 got a gto engine with TD05 upgrades runnin around 550awhp.
ya umm a hyundia couldent beat anything let alone a 3000GT running 36 PSI lol and other than that running 36 psi will fuck your shit up man be carfull u better keep a fire extinguisher in your car
For the final model year 3000GT in 1999, the car received a partial exterior makeover including new front bumper, headlamps, turn signals, sail panels, rear garnish and specific for the 1999 VR4, a large wing to distinguish it from the rest of the previous 3/S and current 1999 non-vr4 models. Production for the Japanese domestic market finally ceased in 2000, with the last two cars sold the following year (2001).
well dont ejagerate dawg theres no need 2 call me an idiot im a nissan freak not a mitsubishi plus i got the wrong info...
the car is beutiful but the only way i could race sum1 is by starting rollin, in other words on second gear cus i get too much torque and no traction but i love it!
on the freeway ill take mostly of the ppl
plus the TT's u got the AWD that helps alot than the regular FWD
i basicaly wasted my front tireds
but on the mechanic part fixing it is cheaper that the TT
u mean shippin to the US , u r right , the lastest 3000gt's ull find are 99's but the lastes GTO's are 2001 last and all made in japan( even dodge stealths) Nagoya ,japan, mitsu factory
oh my, thats a well-built 3S you got there. I've been debating whether or not to switch to a single turbo set-up. Personally, I prefer the twin turbo. Even though the turbos I have are smaller than yours (TD05 16Gs) I have virtually no turbo lag so I think that makes up for the decreased peak airflow. But anyway, great car man, I love the 1999 styling and I can't wait til I can afford it for my 3S. College is expensive!!
thats all well and good but your not thinking about the rest of the car when you puttin on a turbo dat fuckin big. first off for a 96 to 99 the fuel injection system can only go up to about 350hp. second on most 3000gts the tranny is the weakest link. they can handle up to 375-400hp until they need to be upgraded.
pretty sure the guys at 3SX are running a stock six speed in their 902awhp 3000gt turning 9.339 @ 159.23 in a 1/4 mile and replacing tranny parts less frequently than some guys I know who run "stronger" transmissions at lower horsepower(not in 3000gt's).
i was thinking my 1996 Dodge Stealth RT Twin Turbo is made by Diamond Star Motors(DSM). why is it GTO's are made by Japanese Domestic Market. When Stealth's, 3000GT's, and GTO's are basically the same car. What im sayin is they should all be made by the same company
they r all made in the same plant in japan, not sure which one, but take a minute and look it up and thats where every single 3kgt, gto and stealth came from
By "all JDM" I'm assuming you don't mean all were RHD because there were 3000GTs and Stealths sold in north america and those are LHD, but built in Japan as far as I know.
You assume correctly my friend. I meant JDM as in they are all imports from the Japanese Domestic Market, not that all of them are built to JDM specifications. I personaly own a '94 3000GT SL and it definately isn't RHD.
DSM was a joint venture between Chrysler Corporation, and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation the name Diamond Star is a nod to the parent companies logos Mitsubishi's triple Diamond and Chrysler's Star . to produce the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Plymouth Laser, and Eagle Talon models, all made in America. the Dodge Stealth, Mitsubishi 3000GT and GTO models were all built at Mitsubishi's Nagoya Plant in Okazaki Japan.
god damn...nice....mind telling how to make it single set up instead of twin...cuz i was planning to buy one but must know how to make it single turbo instead of buying 2 3sx 15g or watever they are
you make the car a single turbo by getting new headers, a new intercooler and piping, and a new downpipe. All of which obviously need to just support 1 big turbo instead of 2 smaller ones. Personally though I would go with 2 TD05 16g-20g turbos to decrease spool-up time. I have 2 16Gs that are lightly tuned and my VR4 puts down around 550awhp depending on the day. I'm thinking about going to 2 20g's so I can put down 750awhp, but believe me, 550awhp is extremely fast for a daily driver.
"The Mitsubishi GTO is a sports grand tourer built by Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors between 1990 and 2001, although in most export markets it was rebadged as a Mitsubishi 3000GT."
umm the GTO is the JDM (Japanese domestic market) Name for the 3000gt...google it man...I am in NZ and in NZ we keep the JDM names...not the USDM names
so i assume its just a single turbo now ? if so why not keep the dual turbo setup ? have the GT42 for higher rpm and get something smaller for quick spool? just a question of preference i guess, nice car and nice work btw
the only thing he broke was the sound barrier. ;)

You should really just buy a VR4 in whole. You will save a lot of money and you get more stuff. A VR4 engine may run you about $2000 all together unless you can install yourself.
My opinion is just to sell your car and put a little more money toward a VR4 so you can also have AWS, AWD, Active Aero and natural speed that you won't get with a swap.
And trust me, Twin Turbos on FWD isnt much fun.

yeah ur right u got a good point there its cus im so in love with my sl that its hard 4 me to change him 4 a vr-4. my sl is my first car.
and if now i cant race from a dead stop cus i dont get grip at all
i cant imagine with TT's!!
lol
350znismo 3 years ago
Yeah, I know it's hard to get rid of your first car. But its time for an upgrade. Consider yourself lucky that you started with an SL. My first car was a 91 Dodge Stealth Base and gotta a upgrade to a 94 SL.
NJsFyNeSt 3 years ago
TT's are AWD if they got anything besides power it is grip and handling=VR4, on a full launch VR4's even when highly boosted barely spin wheels.

A new VR4 shortblock will cost you close to 4000 after shipping.... Buy a beat to hell with the best body condition you can find and then have 3SXperformance rebuild the engine, reinforce the transfer case, and drop in td05 16g turbos with all the mods you need to make 'em work. Thats what I did and now i have a beautiful VR4 with nearly 600awhp that i spent less than 25K on TOTAL (including the car's inital purchase). Thats the price of a new Civic Si.
bnm5015 2 years ago
you got robbed, including vehicle purchase price I got a 95 stealth, dropped in a VR4 block and custom twin turbo setup and a full interior and sounds as well and it cost me $5,876 and I'm pushing over 800 awhp. again you got robbed.

For the final model year 3000GT in 1999, the car received a partial exterior makeover including new front bumper, headlamps, turn signals, sail panels, rear garnish and specific for the 1999 VR4, a large wing to distinguish it from the rest of the previous 3/S and current 1999 non-vr4 models. Production for the Japanese domestic market finally ceased in 2000, with the last two cars sold the following year (2001).
350znismo 3 years ago
350znismo you're an idiot
there is no "2000 3000gt" they stopped making it in '99
but it's the stock '99 bumper if you must know.
But i heard single turbo'd gt's don't perform as well as twin'd. How's it run?

well dont ejagerate dawg theres no need 2 call me an idiot im a nissan freak not a mitsubishi plus i got the wrong info...
the car is beutiful but the only way i could race sum1 is by starting rollin, in other words on second gear cus i get too much torque and no traction but i love it!
on the freeway ill take mostly of the ppl
plus the TT's u got the AWD that helps alot than the regular FWD
i basicaly wasted my front tireds
but on the mechanic part fixing it is cheaper that the TT

mmarmash 2 years ago
oh my, thats a well-built 3S you got there. I've been debating whether or not to switch to a single turbo set-up. Personally, I prefer the twin turbo. Even though the turbos I have are smaller than yours (TD05 16Gs) I have virtually no turbo lag so I think that makes up for the decreased peak airflow. But anyway, great car man, I love the 1999 styling and I can't wait til I can afford it for my 3S. College is expensive!!

EuroTunerX314 3 years ago
thats all well and good but your not thinking about the rest of the car when you puttin on a turbo dat fuckin big. first off for a 96 to 99 the fuel injection system can only go up to about 350hp. second on most 3000gts the tranny is the weakest link. they can handle up to 375-400hp until they need to be upgraded.
AshyBone 3 years ago

rollingboombox 3 years ago 6
pretty sure the guys at 3SX are running a stock six speed in their 902awhp 3000gt turning 9.339 @ 159.23 in a 1/4 mile and replacing tranny parts less frequently than some guys I know who run "stronger" transmissions at lower horsepower(not in 3000gt's).
Schnuh330 3 years ago
i was thinking my 1996 Dodge Stealth RT Twin Turbo is made by Diamond Star Motors(DSM). why is it GTO's are made by Japanese Domestic Market. When Stealth's, 3000GT's, and GTO's are basically the same car. What im sayin is they should all be made by the same company
Dstealth92 3 years ago
they r all made in the same plant in japan, not sure which one, but take a minute and look it up and thats where every single 3kgt, gto and stealth came from
dhillskier75 3 years ago
pretty sure stealth/gto/3000gt arn't dsm's i thought eclipse/plymouth laser/eagle talon
KerryDoan 3 years ago
Eclipse (until 1999)/Laser/Talon are all DSM's made in Normal, Illinois. The 3000GT/GTO/Stealth are all made in Nagoya, Japan and are all JDM.
v2mmxst10 3 years ago
By "all JDM" I'm assuming you don't mean all were RHD because there were 3000GTs and Stealths sold in north america and those are LHD, but built in Japan as far as I know.
turbogood 3 years ago
You assume correctly my friend. I meant JDM as in they are all imports from the Japanese Domestic Market, not that all of them are built to JDM specifications. I personaly own a '94 3000GT SL and it definately isn't RHD.
v2mmxst10 3 years ago
DSM was a joint venture between Chrysler Corporation, and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation the name Diamond Star is a nod to the parent companies logos Mitsubishi's triple Diamond and Chrysler's Star . to produce the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Plymouth Laser, and Eagle Talon models, all made in America. the Dodge Stealth, Mitsubishi 3000GT and GTO models were all built at Mitsubishi's Nagoya Plant in Okazaki Japan.
Schnuh330 3 years ago
god damn...nice....mind telling how to make it single set up instead of twin...cuz i was planning to buy one but must know how to make it single turbo instead of buying 2 3sx 15g or watever they are
viper2000 3 years ago
you make the car a single turbo by getting new headers, a new intercooler and piping, and a new downpipe. All of which obviously need to just support 1 big turbo instead of 2 smaller ones. Personally though I would go with 2 TD05 16g-20g turbos to decrease spool-up time. I have 2 16Gs that are lightly tuned and my VR4 puts down around 550awhp depending on the day. I'm thinking about going to 2 20g's so I can put down 750awhp, but believe me, 550awhp is extremely fast for a daily driver.

so i assume its just a single turbo now ? if so why not keep the dual turbo setup ? have the GT42 for higher rpm and get something smaller for quick spool? just a question of preference i guess, nice car and nice work btw
