Default Front Wheel Twin Turbo Engine

According to http://www.nippon-motors.com/mitsubishi.htm , theysell 3000 gt engines (type:6G72DETT)withFWD, DOHC, 24 Valve, Twin Turbo, Crank & Cam position sensors for 1992-96 models.


If it really is front wheel drive, would it be easy toput in a 1994 3000 gt base model?

Thank You

There are no stock FWD twin turbo's. That is nothing more than a marketing ploy. You can TT your FWD car though, many have done it. The engine they are offering will swap in. Somewhere I posted a check sheet of all the parts you need to do the conversion. I'll see if I can find it.

Oh, the first thing that threw up a BS flag for me was the use of Nissan's engine nomenclature... 6g72DETT.

edit: http://www.deftracing.com/tt.htm<----- Here is the list of parts you will need to do a conversion.
