Ok, I have a 92 3000GT that I'm planning to convert to the Twin Turbo motor. I know what all is involved with swaping all the parts to the N/A motor, but I need a new motor anyway, so I figured I would just go turbo.
I'm buying an entire front clip for the conversion.
I figure it wouldn't hurt to have everything I would ever need and still have some stuff to sell later on.
Anyone know of any problems that I might run into when doing this?
I'm not really worried about the exhaust because I'm just going to do custom right off the turbos, and I know that I need the turbo fuel pump.
Anything electrical that is really going to be a problem?

Thanks for everything

Im thinking about buying a 3000GT, trying to get the twin turbo VR-4.. Im going to be 18 in about a month. And im going off to college, so I figured this would be a nice first car. A blend of speed, good looks and hopefully reliability.

So.. What are the most common problems with VR-4s over 100k-140k Miles?
How much more am I looking at money wise for repairs?

Im thinking that since its japanese its going to be reliable.. I hope im not wrong on that..

Thanks for the input in advance

my car rear end is messed up, so im wonderin if 92sl parts fit on a 97vr4 . i also need new struts n others parts. instead of speadin 1600 dollars on only the back . i can have struts and tail lights please reply i would appreciate the help

Hey,

Ok i bought my car about 3 months ago now, lost the keys with the alarm button on it.. not a great start.

Then! i lost my licence for street racing 2 weeks later, so its been parked up in my garage for a month or so. Anyway - my problem is that when i got my boyfriend to turn it on, the battery was flat. No big deal right? well! the alarm started going off as soon as i put leads on it.

The car wouldnt turn over because the alarm was going off and i think it has an immobilser or something.

Any help with this? ive been told that ther is possibly a button under the dash i push to reset it or something, but seriously i wudnt have a clue where to begin looking as they also said it could be anywhere.

HELP ME, i have to move in 3 days and dont perticually want to tow my toy to my new flat.

Thanks for any comments.. that arnt negitive -.-"

looking at a 1992 white dodge stealth TT. its got 129K. everything seems to be in order. its got a ricer body kit on it though and a few stickers that i'd just blow gun off. other then that it seems good.

he's asking 3500 for it. seems like a really good price. any insight?

Can anyone tell me if there is another type of seat that will exchange with a 93 3000GT SL without a whole lot of modification.I have access to a couple of eclipse's and such .I f anyone knows what models are interchangable ,please let me know...
' Thanks in advance....Mike

hello. does anyone know what all the dash warning lights are?? i had one come on today.. which i think is above my srs light... it was a orange one..and rectangular shaped....

hi guys im new to this forum and happy ive finally found a forum for gto owners.ive wanted to update my rear lights for some time to leds but not been able to find a supplier.can any body help. im based in liverpool england uk. i have fitted hid lights to the front and it not only improves visibility but makes the car look awesome...i recomend them. when i say leds i dont mean the cheap imitation bulbs. im after the lights made specially on a circuit board. like the ones in newer motors

ive had my GTO for a couple of years now and have decided its time to up the boost. im going for an electronic boost controller but am unsure what boost pressure to increase it to. its a 1995 twin turbo, with a hks twin mushroom air filter and a aftermarket custom exhaust. runs half a bar at the mo. ive heard a bar is safe. is this true? also what spark plugs should i change to? im guessing i need colder grade plugs and was wondering what others have gone with. any help on this would be great. also does anyone know where i can get a bit of a guide to the fitment of a boost controller to a twin turbo? thanks very much for any help, steve

Hi all,

Im currently trying to remove my steering wheel, so i can fit an aftermarket one.

the airbag is out, and i removed the big nut inside, but i cant seem to shift it, have i missed any more nuts/screws? or is it just FT?

any help will be greatly appriciated:)

I am new to these cars after working on Chevrolets almost all my life.I purchased a 93'3000GT SL in hopes of fixing it up and driving it and the problem I have now is when I first start it,I cannot touch the gas or it acts like it "floods" out and dies.it takes a few start attempts and then it starts at idle speed.As long as I let it warm up it is fine (no spuddering)
Can some one point me in the right direction on what to look for?
Thanks...Mike

has anyone took off or replaced the goddamn antenna mine was making very strange noise so i need to replace it.

So I installed the new Prosport Gauges on the '93 and the boost is maxed out. So I sent in for a new sender and didn't make any difference. I have played around with it, but nothing. Just maxes out evertime I turn the car on. Anyone have experience with these? Help pls!

I am new to modding cars and don't really know much but am learning along the way. I am starting off small and want to change out the intake on my 92 vr4. Are there certain companies that make specific kits for my car? Would replacing the filter itself be beneficial or should the intake tubing be replaced as well? Thanks for the help.

I can't seem to find pearl white mitsubishi / dodge color and i can't read the color code cause it's in japanese

say if i buy honda pearl white or acura or some other make pearl white will it match mits pearl white ?

i know this may seem like a stupid question but it would help..
when changing the oil i kno the oil should not pass the 2nd marked line..
but i kno about the infamous knocking sounds and busted internals due to low oil..
my question is how low can i have the oil on the marked lines??

Im pretty sure i have a bad fuel pump on my 91 vr-4. can that affect the car's performance?

I need a little bit of advice from anyone that has replaced the clutch in a '91 3000Gt vr4! What is the best way to drop the tranny out, and little tips would help me out a bunch! I mean ive done plenty of hondas, nissans and lots of old school muscle so i have lots of mechanical beackground, but am a little lost with this one and could use a little help!!! Thank you very much!!!

so sometimes when i come to a complete stop and wait like 10-2 min or more the charge light comes on and my car dies but all the **** is still on except i can't "go".
All i do is put it in park, then restart it and it's good again but it keeps happening...

One thing on my mind is alternator ?

hey I'm new and I drive a 1994 3000GT SL. I'm having problems with my CD changer it'll read enough of a CD (whether burned or not) to recognize it's there but it say's there are 00 tracks on the CD.

I've checked all of the wires and there fine, I restarted the head unit and it's not helping any...

and my buget doesn't allow me to go out and buy a new one

any suggestions

Hi there,
I have a '91 Grey import GTO twin turbo 5 speed manual. I have had quite a bit of service work carried out on the engine, but have recently noticed a strange noise coming from the engine in 3rd and 4th gear. When gently accelerating in these gears, mainly 4th at about 40mph there is a grating sound which soon goes with a bit more speed. I cant check where its coming from when it is in neutral as it only happens in the middle gears.

Any ideas or has anyone come across this before?

Cheers

hello Frens,

My roomie recently crashed my Car and I had a hard time fixing up my 1995 Mit. 3000 GT !

I had the aftermarket parts for the Airbags installed and after the body work was completely done, the auto body shop said that I would have to get the SRS Computer Module CODED by a Mitsubishi Dealer as the SRS lights would always stay ON !

Since I live in a small University town, there are no Mit. Dealers and I went to a Chrysler dealer ( Dodge Stealth and 3000GT mostly have the same system ) ..

During the Diagnosis, the DRB III that they used showed "NO RESPONSE" and they even tried Connecting the BATTERY OFF and then again restarting the Connections .. and I even tried another SRS Computer Module ( which was removed from a 3000GT whose airbags were not deployed, so it shud be working ) .. but the same error popped up. They told me that they even tried DRB II for the diagnosis, but the same error showed up.

Can anyone please guide me how to proceed with this problem ?

I am an International Student and henceforth cant afford to spend much, so I would be fairly grateful if you can suggest me something cheap and effective for this.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Jimmy.

Thought you guys would want to follow this video. It's from youtube and is going to feature new episodes as the car is restored.

I finally received the title, insurance and plates Friday.
I went golfing this weekend and that was when I discovered a very serious flaw.

Where in the heck are the <strike>Beer Holders?</strike> Cup Holders?

Are both engines turboed?

They look different to me by the piping on the left. But both are claimed to be turboed?

Wondering if anyone who has previously or currently owns a GTO can fill me in on any pros or cons to this car. I am mostly looking for any cons but if have some pros curious to known them as well.
Also if know of any weakness or anything to look out for.

okay, i cannot seem to find a pair of 360cc injectors, so now i was curious would the DSM 450's suffice if i turned the boost up to compensate? i have a wideband so i can somewhat monitor the balance

Hey guys,
I'm looking into purchasing a pair of racing seats for my 3KGT. I've been looking around and have decided that I'm not prepared to dump about 600 bucks for an individual seat. However, I've seen some Corbeau seats for about 300 each seat, some Matrix's (Matrices) for about 350 each, Yonakas for about 300 a PAIR, plus about 100 for the mounts. Anyone have any suggestions?

Here's a link in case someone else is interested:

Hello Everyone,
Well i have been presented with an opportunity that i am having trouble with. My uncle (who is a mechanic) picked up a 91 3000gt SL off of a friend of his for really cheap. The car itself has 160,000 miles on it but the previous owner blew the VR4 motor that was previously in the car. It now has a 34,000 mile VR4 motor without the turbos. I was told it was ready to receive turbos and the only change i would have to make is new manifolds. I do not plan on getting turbos any time soon if ever, but i was not sure if all that was even possible, (not super engine savvy). My uncle got a hold of it and ordered and installed new hood, exhaust, both side skirts, and a bumper. He installed a new moon roof, and is going to give the car a new paint job (RED). The car also has a rebuilt transmission and new leather seats. It is an automatic. The price is 4000 dollars. My current vehicle has 130,000 miles on it and is worth about 4000. I was seriously thinking of selling mine and buying the 3000gt. What do you guys think about the car? Good deal? Does that engine information make sense or even possible? Thanks in advance for any replies.

If you guys have any more questions or i did not give some necessary information please let me know i will do my best to answer.

Im from malaysia and I would like to can the gto engine has a wastegate and a bov ? cause according to my mech ,he said that once you have a waste gate then you dont need a bov ? please help me out ! thanks

Where do i buy the oem mitsubishi 4wd fluid and the prestone premix coolant.

well when the car is cold it doesnt make a sound however when it warms up you can hear a tapping coming from the back of the intake or rear head. It doesnt get louder with revs only faster and sometimes it doesnt even do it. does anybody have any ideas on what it could be? i will be draining the oil tonight to check for metal. thanks for the help

Just recently i have a whirring sound coming from the right hand side front of the engine bay. It sounds like a siren in the distance. After about 10 mins of idle it disapears.
Any ideas what this could be? Sorry there isnt much info.

Its a tt right hand drive. 94 model.

Thanks

Hi can anyone tell me the sizes or part numbers for the gearbox seals in a 1992 GTO? Sizes would be good as then I can get them cheaper
