Please, if you are asking for help with diagnostics, do everyone a favor and list the make, model, year, trans type, engine type, modifications, etc of your car when asking questions about it. Most of us aren't mind readers (although some of us may play one on tv). It will help you get the help you need faster and keep me from asking so many questions and increasing my post count unnecessarily. I think we need a standard format for questions.
year:
make:
model:
mileage:
trans type:
recent maintenance:
recent modifications:
other modifications:
Something like that will help everyone out that is trying to help you. So, please take the time when writing your post to include this much needed information. All of your friends might know what you drive... but we're not your friends

The main reason to go turbo is the added power. I am going to do a short write up of the process of the easiest way to Turbocharge a non turbo 3000GT or Stealth.
Parts List:
Stock TT Injectors
Stock TT Fuel Pump
Stock TT Oil filter Housing
Stock TT Water Neck
Stock TT Down pipe
Stock TT Oil Cooler and lines
Stock TT Plenum-- 78
5.6 OHM Resistors-- 7.73-- www.partsexpress.com
Stock TT Front Motor Mount Bracket
Stock TT Transmission Bracket
Stock TT Oil Pressure Switch
Stock TT Oil Pan
Stock TT Front Precat
Stock TT Exhaust
Stock TT Intercoolers
Stock TT Intercooler piping/intake
Stock TT BOV
Solid Motor Mounts
Fuel Controller
Boost Controller
Boost Gauge
Wide Band
Stock TT Oil feed/return lines TT Stock
Stock TT Coolant feed/return lines TT Stock
Stock TT Turbos
Stock TT Manifold
Stock TT Air filter
Stock TT Gaskets
I wouldn't even think about taking one piece off of your car unless you have all the parts, or you have a second reliable vehicle.
The first thing I did was put the car on four jack stands and take the two front wheels off. Once the car is up off the ground you will find it 100% easier to work on as you don't have to bend down into the engine bay, and getting underneath is pretty easy. Granted a lift would be 200% better I dealt with what I was given.
So the car is up in the air. THIS IS IMPORTANT! If your seats are power, move them all the way back as the next step is to remove the battery. Put the battery in a safe place and not on a concrete floor.
I would then swap the fuel pump. You have a couple options here.
1) Use the TT stock assembly and pump and its a direct drop in.
2) Use the TT stock assembly and an aftermarket pump.
3) Use the NA stock assembly with the Stock TT pump or aftermarket pump. (this will require some modification and the use of worm clamps or hose clamps)
Once the fuel pump is in you can close the trunk as that the last time you need to go in there.
I then sprayed down all the nuts and bolts on the exhaust with PB BLASTER, (don't waste your time with anything else just shut your mouth and use PB Blaster) Spray the headers, the down pipe and the cat bolts.
Now while thats doing its job, you get to get organized. I bought Number tags and used them to mark everything I disconnected. This is where I disconnect all the wires on the transmission side of the engine. Connections start at the throttle body and move towards the front bumper. Remove them all. If It is a wire and hooks up the engine disconnect it and mark it.
Drain the radiator, oil pan, oil filter and transmission.
Remove the cooling fans and radiator and store in a safe place. BE SURE TO GET ALL THE FLUID OUT.
Remove the Waterneck and thermostat assembly. Be sure to remove the corrosion if you are using used parts.
Move underneith the car and remove the Driver side axle. This will make your life easier with the rear header and rear motor mount.
Now remove the Downpipe, and as much of the exhaust as you are changing.
Swap oil pans.
Remove front manifolds.
Swap the front motor mount bracket.
Remove the AC compressor and bracket to gain access to the oil filter housing. Swap these. Reattach AC bracket and compressor. You are not actually removing the compressor, you are only unbolting it from its place and moving it away so you can work there.
Clean your hands.
Take the front bumper off.
Stuff the holes on the intercoolers with rags.
Install the passenger intercooler.
Now the fun par find a dremel and go to town on the driver side. first mock up the driver intercooler and see where the hole needs to be and then open it up. Attatch the driver intercooler. The holes are in place so just use the existing holes. The passenger side is easier because the intercooler is the only thing on that side. The driver side also has the oil cooler.Which you should also hook up at this time.
If your oil cooler is not new, you need to flush it. Go to a coin op with a can of PB blaster and flush the thing. Make sure the water is CLEAN when it comes out and make sure you get it all out. I used a heat gun for a couple minutes before I decided it was dry on the inside.
Now with both intercoolers hooked up and the oil cooler attatched the frame take the hoses and attatch the oil cooler to the Oil filter housing. Use NEW crush washers.
Assemble the front turbo. Oil lines and cooling lines. Attach to the front manifold. Then take the whole object (manifold & turbo & O2 Housing) to the front of the block. Attach cooling lines and oil lines.
Keep the rear turbo handy. Remove the upper intake manifold (Plenum) Stuff rags in holes left on engine IMMEDIATLY.
YOU ARE FUCKED IF A BOLT FALLS IN ONE OF THESE HOLES
Remove rear manifold. Swap with Turbo manifold. Attach rear turbo. To the manifold. Attach all lines. Attach rear O2 housing.
Remove the Fuel rails. Swap the injectors. Solider the resistors into the front and rear harness. Reattach the fuel rails with the larger injectors.
Replace the fuel rails.
Put on the Turbo upper plenum. The reason I reccomend using the Turbo plenum instead of the NA is the NA has the VICS motor exactly where the rear turbos hard intercooler pipe wants to go.
Now both turbos are on the engine. Hooked to an oil source and water source which also means that the water neck is changed and that the oil filter housing is changed. You also should have the oil return lines hooked up the the oil pan. This was a pain in the ass and I reccomend getting longer bolts to do this. This actually took me close to two hours pretty much the hardest part of the whole thing.
Attatch the intercooler pipes and hoses to the turbos and intercoolers.
Reattach the exhaust. You should have an 02 sensor and a wide band sensor installed in the exhaust before you bolt it up.
Now its time for the gauges. Wire those in. I reccomend, a wideband, EGT (placed in the rear exhaust manifold before the turbo, and a boost gauge.
Also install the SAFC.
Pull your plugs crank the engine to prime those turbos. Put the plugs back on start and hope you are good.

Everything You Need to Know About the Car.
This is broken up into a couple sections. Modifying, History, Common issues, The Active Suspension, Search
Modifying:
The vast majority of people who buy a 3000GT non turbo are under the impression that one day they will do the twin turbo conversion. The sad reality is that 99% of them will not. Of those 99% about half will have their car blow up. The rest will sell and buy a turbo 3000GT. Another misconception is that BPU upgrades on the non turbo models actually do something. Nothing noticeable will happen. There are no chips or programmers available. Buy your self a set of cams and cam gears. Taking the rear seats out of this car will not make it any faster, sorry not going to happen. It is not a race car it is a Grand Touring Car.
If you bought an automatic… enough said.
If you have a turbo car the first upgrades should be intake, downpipe, cat back exhaust, boost controller and boost gauge. From there you will need to decide what you actually want to do and how much power you want to make. That is a topic in it self.
If you have a non-turbo, you can do intake, headers, cat-back, (not going to net much real world wheel gains)
History:
The Mitsubishi 3000GT
The Mitsubishi GTO
The Dodge Stealth
Guess what, with the exception of a couple body panels and the GTO being Right hand drive no difference. They did have different submodels but they are the same car.
GTO stands for Gran Turismo Omogolato which is translated from Italian as a grand touring race. The reason it was named the 3000GT for stateside use was because Mitsubishi did not want to confuse buyers with other cars such as the Pontiac GTO and the Ferrari GTO. 3000 GT stands for 3 Liter Grand Tourer. Dodge Stealth, Dodge has always had nifty names.
Common Issues, questions, concerns, things that people need to know and ask with out searching:
1. The gauges are just estimates they are not actual readings. EXPECALLY the boost gauge, do not use the stock boost gauge to judge boost.
2. Yes, you have to take the entire intake plenum off to change all six plugs, no changing the front three is not good enough, no its not hard to get to the last three.
3. Changing this car from any configuration to rear wheel drive is useless, go by a Z
4. The GENERAL consensus is that body kits do not look good on the 3000GT, Maybe a front lip and some new rims but dump your money into the motor.
5. Anyone who thinks a non turbo 3000GT is fast or quick, is sadly mistaken.
6. You only need one blow off valve.
The Active Suspension:
That little annoying green flashing light on your dash that says tour/sport is for your active suspension. If it’s blinking the system has broke and defaulted to the Sport mode. If you want to attempt to fix it you can check the four connections which are on top of each strut, than I would check the computer and by check I mean replace, or if you don’t mind it always being in sport mode just disconnect the computer and that will turn off the tour sport light. Looking in the trunk to the right there is a plastic panel with one screw, remove it and unclip the two plugs.
As with any car if you lower your car you need to get matching struts. Some people will argue that you don’t need to if you only drop an inch, but I don’t see why you would not do the complete job correctly the first time.
Search:
When using the search feature only type key words such as, “PWR ECO” for what does the PWR ECO button do? Or, “Tour Sport” for what does the Tour Sport light mean?
Remember to do your timing belt and water pump every 60,000 miles.
Also, keep in mind as with any other car,
Cheap, Fast, Reliable.Take a look at the list, now pick two because that’s all you are able to have. (Which ever two you pick are the ones your car will be, the other one is what the car will not be.)
TEAM3S.com has a complete walk through for just about anything concerning this car.
And as a friendly reminder, please use the search feature.
~Eric

Does anybody on this forum have any experience with the Carisma range ? The problem car is a 2001 1.8GDI petrol model. The fault lies in control of the air con (this is not a full climate control system). The compressor works OK with the circulating fan at speed 1. At speeds 2 and 3 (which would be the normal settings for use with this air con), the compressor does not function and the indicator lamp that shows when the air con is working goes out. Any ideas please ?

I guess these cars have fallen out of popularity big time cause this forum has died, I posted a question on here, got no response and only 11 views in over a week. Time to find a different source of info.

I have a 3000gt that has an odd problem. I was driving to work a few weeks ago when the door locks started locking and unlocking like something was flicking the button to lock and unlock while I was driving. Since then if I leave my car sit over the weekend the battery is dead. I installed a rebuilt alternator and battery, but still after a couple of days the battery is drained. I think it may have something to do with the anti-theft system, any ideas or input will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Rick

I just bought a 1996 3000gt sl 5speed.The car needed a new radiator,thermostat and complete tune up. I just installed a brand new radiator,thermostat,seals,tubes,antifreeze and full tune up.When I start my 3000gt sl it sounds a bit rough like a rough feeling like its about to shut off,car is stock.Does anyone have a idea of what the problem can be??I cant even drive the car because when I give it gas it sounds like its dying.The day after I bought the 3000gt sl the car drove fine but then after 45 minutes of city driving the car jerk and then didnt wanna move no more.So I pulled over to the side and shut off the car.When I opened the hood a little bit off white smoke came up but then went away.I hope I didnt do damage to the engine.Does anyone have an idea what can be the problem??All help would be very much appreciated

Hey all,
I have a 1993, 3000GT SL with about 86K original miles. I purchased the car used at about 65K miles. Timing belt/water pump was replaced. The car runs very well.
I would now like to do a tune-up. Can anyone provide a list of parts/part numbers I would need to do a tune-up? (eg spark plugs, spark plug wires, ignition components, gaskets, PCV, fuel filter, other components ?????, etc.).
I don't mind using good quality aftermarket parts, if possible. Good vendors for mail-order parts would also be appreciated. My last parts purchase (timing belt, water pump) was from a Mits Dealer in Cherry Hill, NJ....this source was recommended on forum sites but I saw no real advantage/savings purchasing from them vs letting my mechanic order parts from his supplier.
Sincerely appreciated...
Regards

Dear Forum members,
I need some help with a problem with my 1993 3000GT SL. Stopped for gas last night on way home. Started car to leave filling station and noticed vehicle is stuck in 2nd gear.
I have a automatic trans with the overdrive pushbutton on the shift lever. Manually shifting tranny into 1st, 2nd or drive makes no difference....still stuck in second gear. Also, overdrive button does not work.
This happened without warning. Went home and checked fluid level in tranny. Topped off fluid level with ~1.5 quarts....damn hard to read level on dipstick!! Problem persists after adding fluid.
Any ideas regarding the nature of this problem?? Something electrical??
Car has 88K original miles and is driven with care.
Feedback appreciated

Hi, i ordered 2 front wheel bearings off ebay for my 1991 twin turbo and gave them to the garage to fit them. Got a call today saying that the original hubs had studs on them and that the new ones dont and that they would need bolts for them. Has anyone came across this before and do you know what size of bolts i would need and would it be threaded holes in the new hub.

I just moved to El Campo,TX about 2 months ago. I finally got a good job. Its just south of Houston. Well anyways, I met this guy that drives around a modified Honda Civic Si. I mentioned I was looking for a good import to buy. He told me his girl had a car she wanted to sell. Its a 1992 Mitsubishi 3000gt SL. Theres some minor bodywork that needs done, and the engine is the tough part.
Now I got alot of friends that are good with engines and will gladly help me for a few cases of beer. The guy told me it may need a new engine but he told me I could fix it if I felt like taking it to a shop. Something with the head gasket and something needs shaved. Idk, im not good with engines yet, but I will be when I go to UTI this fall. Anyways, they just put a new starter and radiator in, it has 100,000 miles on it, and it look alrite. I'll post pics up. He knows a company that deals in Japanese engines. I called them today and they said they could ship me out a 3.0L V6 24v DOHC for about $935 plus $150 shipping. Which isnt bad i dont think.
Now to the price, the guy wants $400 for it. I helped him pull his car home when his cv joint went out. $400 for the shell is a good deal in my eyes, not in my dads, but he also dont like tuners. or the automotive life lol. Thinks its a waste of money. The chassis looks good, no rust, the inside is a lil tore up, but it wont be that hard to fix. No radio, but those are not that expensive, the glass is all good, paints a lil chipped, small dent in drivers door, cranks over, but dont start due to a leak. He also said it may need to be drained. Um, idk if i missed anything. Tires are good, transmission is good, exhaust has no problems, everything seems good except for that engine problem.
Now I need your advice on this, is this a good buy? My previous car was a 1992 Honda Accord which gave out at 249,059 miles. This will be my second car, and I love imports and racing. I'm 19, almost 20 and I need a car to get to college and back in September, and I really want a project car. And honestly, I think this would be a good one. I love 3000gt ' s.

May 4-6, 2012REGISTRATION IS OFFICIALLY OPEN!!! :Dancing:
| East Coast Gathering 2012 |Be sure to browse around the site a bit, check out some of the pictures from ECG's past! Sorry that this is a bit delayed this year!! But we have been working feverishly to make sure this ECG is the best!!!
We are offering a discounted pre-paid registration this year! Registration, t-shirts, and the banquet will be more expensive if paid on-site. Pre-paid registration helps us ensure we don't have an extreme over-order, or not enough registration packets, t-shirts, food, etc for everyone. It helps keep costs down, and and helps us keep things running smoothly.
I would like to give a HUGE thank you to Dr.Gonzo, Robyn, Alan and Dan for really stepping up to help us make this run smoothly!!! There would not be an ECG without their help!! Thank you

We have some AWESOME surprises lined up for this year, that I can promise you all will enjoy! I will update on SOME of these once the final details are sorted out
On to the nitty-gritty!
This year, we are BACK at the Sea Bay Hotel! Last year, everything seemed so separated, I think it kept people from hanging out with eachother more.
They had been great to us in the past, their pricing was on-point, they pretty much let us have the run of the place, the parking lot has ample space for all of our cars in close proximity to everyones rooms (for those wanting to keep a close eye on your cars), and it has always provided a great area to hang out, chat, and catch up with old friends.

I have a 91 gto. Its a beautiful car, only one thing lets it down,its a clutch problem it has always had. Sometimes it works fine, other times its a real pain. You push the pedal down and you get half the way to the floor of free play and when you do get pressure its really stiff and hard to push down and you can only just change gear. I have tried to fix it over the years but to no avail. I have replaced the clutch and pressure plate, replaced the master and slave cly. Even put a new hyd line in. I am about to replace the booster as a last resort. But im not holding my breath. I have been to many mechanics and all have been left scratching their heads. If after I get the booster done and it still plays up, What is there left to fix.

So two weeks ago at 2:30am I stop at a stop sign and see some smoke rising up from under my hood. I pull into a hotel parking lot, open the hood and see that the smoke is coming from the approximate location of the water pump. So this last weekend me and a buddy put a new one in and a new timing belt as well. I followed Tema3S's walk through
http://team3s.com/60k.htm . Everything seems to be running fine now, but I am a bit paranoid since this was the first time either of us has dealt with a timing belt. Is there anything I need to keep an eye out for? If we were off by one tooth would it be a very noticeable thing?

Hello I am Kevin I have a 91 3000gt sl automatic 93,000 miles Replaced timing belt a second time after making the mistake of having Someone else Finish for me when I went through the top end(forgot to tighten the bracket between intake and waterpump). Long story short I replaced the heads after shredding a kevlar belt. I have a borla exhaust, k&n intake, computers have all been rebuilt prior to my purchase of tyhis car, new walboro fuel pump, fuel filter. The problem I am having is after warm up the car runs rough and dies out. If I start and drive it runs while in "cold startup" but cuts out badly once warm. I have checked timing, IAC, fuel, map, I am at a loss, this is my sons car as I have a tt. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. I also have no cel's... Kevin

Im just curious how much horsepower and torque does a JDM 6g74 dohc engine have? I swapped a 6g74 jdm dohc engine into my 3000gt sl last week and was just curious how much horsepower does it have.I googled it and found 205hp and 231 torque but dont know if thats correct.205hp sounds a little low for the 674 dohc jdm engine 3.5 litre monster haha

234,000K – 95 – NA
Only recent work – oil change
It’s me- I’m back.
On man, I jumped on the highway this morning and when I looked down my oil pressure was 0.
I slowed down and there was all sorts of noise. I killed the engine and glided down the next exit ramp. I started the car again so I could limp into the nearest gas station, which was luckily very close.
$120 for a tow home.
There was oil on the flat bed when he unloaded me at home.
We pushed it in the garage, and I pulled the timing belt covers and front valve covers. The timing marks line up and there is no visible damage on the top front.
I’m not sure if I had reduced power or not – just rattling that made me cringe. Any ideas?
I was planning to drive until around Nov 1st and then do all my maintenance, timing belt and replace the oil pan.

Hello there, fellow earth people!
This is my newly bought '92 Mitsubishi GTO VR-4. This was and is my dream car since I was 13-14 years and played Gran Turismo on Playstation back in the days, I decided then that one day should I buy myself a GTO/3000GT, and finally, here it is!
Currently, it's completely "stock". Future plans are new shocks/coilovers, 19" wheels, performance exhaust, cold air intake, boost pressure adjuster as well as some new paint!
Styling-wise it will be very modest, I love the original look so I'm going to keep close to it. And since this is a Japan imported RHD GTO and not an european/american 3000GT it is extremely rare on this side of the globe and it's actually the only one registred in Norway with license plates!

More pictures coming soon!

Hi, new member here. just got my first gto, its the twin turbo H reg manual. only thing is it has a very bad water leak which i was told is coming from a hose at the back of the engine, my mate jacked it up and tried to find it from both top and bottom but couldnt really see much let alone reach anything. it als has a noisy tensioner so will be getting the timing done too. Does anyone have any information about the hose and maybe some tips or if anyone knows a good place to put it in to get the work done for a reasonable price close to glasgow. any information would be much appreciated as never worked on 1 of these before and choking to get it fixed and out on the road. Cheers

Hi long time no speak. I still have my 96 gto non turbo. I wanna keep the chassis and running gear from my own car but want a TT engine to obviously get more torque from the car. any hints or things i should be careful of? the reason i wanna keep chassis/body/interior and running gear is that i spent £3500 restoring body/interior and a further £2588 on the shaft and rear diff and drives. Any help would be app.
Good 2 see y'all still here!!

My 91 has some very weathered, dull looking stock wheels. A few scratches, but nothing major. The car is pearl white.
Whats your opinion on how to make the car look better without buying wheels?
1) try and polish up the silver color
2) sand / paint satin black
3) sand / paint white
4) ?????
thanks
