<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" color=blue size=4>Hey guys, wassup?</FONT></P>


<FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#0000ff size=4>I have a 93 Stealth ES 3.0 and I'm swapping the engine for a 95 twin turbo straight from Japan. So far I got for parts for the swap... I got the LSD the bigger fuel pump the guages(air/fuel and boost) The ECU, the engine mounts, the exhaust, BOV and some more that I can't remember...so anyway, I just wanna know if I need anything else to make it work...if anything? For now I just want to make it work...I'll concentrate on the tuning later....oh and a Stage two clutch. So anyway...would appriciate your advice.</FONT></P>

Well, which transmission are you using? The 94 and up vr4's used a getrag six speed, so the na tranny might not bolt up all the way. <FONT color=black>Also, you might want to switch axles and to handle the extra power. If i were you and had like forever enough money, i'd do the mid-engine swap. In Japan, the 3000gt vr4 came in a mid-engine model called the "MR". It used the twin turbo engine and was still all wheel drive. If you got the half cut of the MR model, you *could* make the mid-engine 3000gt except in rear wheel drive only....that would be cool<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></FONT>

 

<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" color=blue size=4>Thanks for yor reply.</FONT></P>


<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" color=blue size=4>But all I have is a brand new 5spd front wheel drive tranny and an engine that's siting in the shop t'ill I get all the parts. so what your saying is that the transmission might not fit all the way and that if I want it to fit I might have to purchase a vr4 tranny but my car is front wheel drive and if I get a vr4 tranny I'll have to get all the parts to make it 4wd that would cost me a freakin arm ,leg and half the other one. I had checked with others and was told that it would fit. Anyway I'll try it and see what happens.</FONT></P>


<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" color=blue size=4>Thanks again.</FONT></P>


<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" color=blue size=4>let me know if you got more info.</FONT></P>

Well, You may not need to get the complete vr4 drivetrain, the shop could weld the center differential and keep it fwd. Then you wouldn't need the rear drivetrain parts. However, that should only be an issue if the NA tranny doesn't bolt up. Not many people have tried to swap in a VR4 engine, they usually just turbocharge the original. If you want the vr4 axles, you may need to see if the getrag units would fit, but they probably won't since they're different manufacturers.</P>


Honostly, the mid-engine swap wouldn't be a bad idea at this point. If you can afford to do a trial and error on the swap, then you would be able toafford the mid-engine swap. Going mid-engine isn't as hard as it seems and you should really check with your shop to see if they're up to it. It'll basically be a fwd setup but everythings in the mid-rear of the car so that it is rwd. There are a few people here in the states that have gone MR and they say it's much better than the awd sytem.</P>

 

<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" color=blue size=4>That sounds like an awsome idea. I'm gonna check out the specs and talk with the guys at the shop. Oh and I was just thinking, there's no reason why the tranny shouldn't fit on this engine cause its the same as the non-turbo one...except for the turbos. Anyway, thanks again for writting and I'll keep ya'll posted on my progress.</FONT></P>

The engine codes are the same, 6g72 for the NT and 6g72 for the Turbo, but Mitsubishi dida lot of weird things back then. Like using the Getrag tranny instead of their own superstrong W5M33 tranny. Now, When you take everything apart youwill know for sure, but just be aware that you may need to fabricate an adapter plate for the tranny if the block doesn't fit up. Definitely not a hard job, but it's worth mentioning.

 

<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" color=blue size=4>Thanks alot for the info...and that great advice...I'll keep it in mind for sure. And on my part, I'm still waiting on my gauges. I should start work on it this week or maybe next. But I realy wanna wait ti'll the nice weather comes around.</FONT></P>
