Twin Turbo FWD

Hi I am new here but I want to know how many 3000GT owners done the twin turbo FWD conversion.

Not sure how many on here but there are quite a few on 3si.org. It's becoming a very popular route.

Hotshot did it on here, IPO has one too, and then of course there are a bunch of 3si guys that have done it.

IPO has one too,

Ahhhh... the SLTT :worshippy. DOn't know if he posted it here yet but this last weekend he set a new FWD world record. Chris is just straight killin out there :grinyes:

No I hadn't heard yet...what did he run?

mid 11's

His 3 runs:

60 2.047
1/8 7.947
1/8 99.57
1/4 11.873
1/4 125.58

60 2.131
1/8 8.003

1/4 11.450 NEW ET RECORD
1/4 129.83 1.84MPH faster than old 11.488 Record

:ylsuper:

there's about 60-70 on 3si that have done it then about another 20 that are in the process (including myself) I'm almost done collecting parts too, can't wait to get the rest of the stuff (hopefully by the end of this month) :D

anyone here know what hotshot runs in the 1/4 mile????

I'm pretty sure he was in the low 12s if not 11s already, and I think he was aiming for 11s this year (if he hadn't already gotten them)

haven't hit the track . . . got beat by a low 12 second LS1 this past weekened and so i hooked up my logger . . and realized that my ignition timing was at 8 degrees, so i got a bunch of tuning to get through first. Believe me, the second i get times, i'll post.

i'm lookin into doing the TT conversion. how much did you guys (Wolf Zero, Hot Shot) spend on the TT conversion? (how much for parts? how much for labor if you didn't do it yourself?). did you get all the parts from one car or multiple?

for the basic conversion with all stock TT parts and no mods, it was around $1750. I used all brand new gaskets, brand new oil and coolant lines for the turbos, and everything else i bought was used. I did all the labor myself.

Hotshot I am doin so much reading right now but it is all worth it at the end. There are so many TT conversion on 3si it's cool as hell.

If you want to twin turbo your sohc you are going to have to swap to a dohc engine to use any of the stock parts off a TT.

Yeah I know that but what would I have to change first? How about if I get a VR4 engine then start swapping or would swapping my SL would be better. Oh yeah if I work with my base then what would I have to change?

i came across a complete vr4 motor with less that 45k miles on it for $1200 . but it was sold in no time :*(

Your SL would be much easyer to TT
