Now dont get me wrong i love 3000gt/stealth but the whole 4 banger thing jus dont cut it in a car as heavy as the 3000gt. So i bought the 3000gt that comes with a N.A. DOHC V6. It has exactly the power i wanted to start with. Now, i want to put a turbo on it. Not that twin turbo crap with the funky lookin twin intercoolers, but one BIG turbo that puts out a minimum of 10-15 psi. I was wonderin if it could be done to these engines? Me and my father own a tuning shop which installs and tunes performance parts so dont try and throw me this" U dont know what ur talkin bout" crap. Ive done my homework ladies. I jus wanna know if i can put a single turbo on this car. Yes, im already lookin for a new transmission and the ecu from a vr-4 so the car can handle the boost. ANY HELP??????
Where do I begin? First I have no clue what you are talking about with the 4 banger as there is NO 4 cylinder 3/S's available. Only a SOHC V6, DOHC V6, and a TT DOHC V6. And you realize that you can go twin turbo and still boost far more than 10-15 psi. In fact the stock 9b's can boost around 14-15psi. You can put a single turbo on but it is much easier to go with a twin turbo setup instead as there are a lot more parts for it. And yes you will need a new ecu and as for the VR4 tranny it is AWD and is known to break just as often or more often than n/a tranny's with all the power. If I were you I would definately look at our FAQ as most of your questions could have already been answered there. And there is no need to go on the defensive right away either saying, "I have done my homework ladies" and "don't give me this you do not know what you are talking about crap". In fact I would say if you have done your homework, I would think you would know there is no 4 cylinder 3/S and just your knowledge in general about the twin turbo setup holding 15psi. Other than that we would like to help you with your questions. Welcome to AF.
