Sold the 3000GT in May 2006. This is now a commemorative page.

For all question regarding the install of Twin-Turbo's on a non-turbo 3000GT/Stealth, please visit www.3Si.org you will find everything you need to know there. Its been so long since I've done this I have forgotten some of the little details.

aaron97's 1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT This is what my car looked like when I bought it in mid 2004. I was the seconded owner and the car was all stock except for the wheels.

Over the next two years this was the end result of my efforts. A Twin-Turbo'ed, 10:1 compression motor, with lots of extras. My first attempt at the TT conversion ended in disaster, as the 120k miles original motor couldn't take the stress and spun the #3 rod bearing and destroying the entire motor. I replaced it with a lower mileage motor and this time used the VR4 ECU and engine harness. It has been in this set up for nearly 2 years and hasn't had any major problems.

For everyone asking questions or commenting about the twin-turbo conversion. Since I've been there and done that, in all honesty unless you are very financially secure, I would not bother with modifying a 3000GT including the VR4. It���s a known fact among the 3/S community that the engine design in the 3000GT's engine is flawed. If you can be happy with around 400-450hp, then as long as you find a well maintained lower mileage VR4 motor you will be okay for minor mods to get it up to around 400-450hp. The guys running the big numbers are often having big problems or an extreme budget. I know this is not the response some of you will like, but it���s my opinion and it���s the very reason I sold the car. Simple because my power and performance goals could never be reached in a 3000GT with my budget. Don���t get me wrong, I love the way the cars look and I really enjoyed modifying the 3000GT. I don���t mean to offend anyone, this is just my opinion based off of my personal experiences and performance goals.

if you go to 3si.org they will show all the parts, I want to do the conversion too but im a little concerned with what he said about his first engine not being able to take it i have 120k on my motor currently so it sounds like im not going to do it unless of course i swap the engine, in reality if you want the hp just buy a vr4 engine and swap that in and for all you people who think that isnt possible your wrong the engine isnt all wheel drive and if you look online its been done before i just found it so im pretty sure im just going to buy the whole engine with the turbos that will save me a lot of effort. yes the conversion costs less but with people who have older engines this is the way to go and it will probably run smoother regardless.
