Please help..a quick question

[aerosoul]

Ive recently found a 1994 3kgt for sale in my area for a good price..the body is straight no dents or damage..the onlything that has me worried is the milage on the car it has 160k miles on it..my question is could i drop a vr4 engine in it without any modification or swapping the trans also..

the car is automatic if that has aything to do with it..if you could help me out that would be great..

sorry i dont have much knowledge on these cars..

thanks
greg

ps.. if i can drop the vr4 in it..where would be a good place to get it or order from..thanks

it would be less expensive for you to just buy a vr4 with better mileage than to get that and do a complete swap, cuz you still wouldn't be a "vr4" technically, because the vr4 has stuff the base model doesn't.

don't let high mileage fool you, as long as the car's been upkept well and didn't take a beating from the previous owner, than it should be okay.

Dropping in a vr4 engine, takes alot of extra parts, you basically need a donor vr4...not just an engine. If you look up TT conversion, you'll find plenty of info

thanks igovert as well as every else that responded ..i spoke with a few mitsu mechanics and they told me the same thing..but i just found a 95 stealth rt in very good condition so i might be going with that..its a 4 hour drive for where i live but if its the car thats advertised it will be worth it

alright everyone the stealth deal is looking good right now im actually going to go check out the car saturday and if everything goes right ill be driving it home...i got another question for those willing to help .. i really want to slap on some turbos so can any one recommend some aftermarket turbos or does dodge make a turbo kit for the rt that i can purchase? also from reading the team 3s web page it says the rt makes 205 hp at 4500 rpm and 222 at 6k.is there any way of getting that to a base of around 250+ pre turbo hp..with upgraded intake, exhaust headers etc etc..i dont really race much now but i like knowing that i can take someone if the decide to act funny at a light...any help is appreciated

thanks in advance
greg

Well, if you read the FAQ and do some searching this gets discussed every 4 days. Twin turboing an NA will require alot of parts...probably a donor vr4. There is no 'kit'. You need to do it all yourself. Most go with vr4 td04-9b turbos because even at that point traction becomes an issue. There are those who have gone with larger td05 turbos, and you can talk with them (importpoweronline, hotshot, etc)

Also there is a section on 3si.org/forum devoted to forced induction SL and base models. Check that out, as alot of your questions can be answered with a few searches.

As far as other upgrades, check out the NA upgrading bible in our FAQ.
