He is talking about m3kgt_99's car!!!!!

 

I understand that, but what point is he trying to make it that particular post??? That is all.

 

lol just to get fired up lol just fun. true but fun.

 

Stirring the pot huh. Well I would rather drive a car that looks good but is slow, than one that is fast and ugly.

 

Well this is healthy...

get435, stay next to us eclipse owners before the 3si dudes beat you down with a jdm strut bar or something Remember, there's a 3.8liter twin Super20G powered AWD 3000GT somewhere laughing at all the little eclipses!

 

All in fun boss, all in fun. Right get435

I find it strange that I have never heard of this 3.8L 3S before. Do you have any more info on it??????

 

Yep, It uses the 6g75 engine that comes in the montero and galant's. It still has the stock SOHC heads(bore is 90mm and they said the DOHC 6g72 wouldn't fit, but aren't the 6g72's 90.1mm? or am i wrong?), and custom manifolds. Twin turbochargers, Super20G's, apparantly even with a rather square design, the builders said the power curve emulates the 6g72, with respects to being bumped higher. They stuck with 20G's because they'd provide good enough power in the midrange to be effective. I remember the horsepower numbers weren't that impressive, and the torque numbers were equally unimpressive. Other than those things all i can remember seeing was custom pistons, rods, stock cams, it had an emanage too!(i came upon this article while actually trying to find info on mitsu vehicles using an emanage). I didn't save any reference to it, I figured by now it should atleast be common news to someone. I know the shop wasn't Altered Atmosphere, i can't remember who they were. I know i'd never heard of them before though and figured the car was just a custom show car. I'll try and find the site, and post a link up. The car is a blacked out 3000gt, i'm thinking 94 - 96, and is pretty much stock looking except for the wheels. I dunno, i'll look for it again, i think i can remember where i found it. Anyways, hope this sparks your interest.

 

A fellow in NY was working on a project similar to that. I know he was using a Montero block and had bumped it up to 4.1L (stock would be 3.8L??)

Pampena Motorsports I believe is his shop name, but I don't know for sure.

 

I guess that makes sense, perhaps playing with different cranks. I have a correction, The bore and stroke on the 6g75 is 95.0x90.0mm. Not exactly sure how to get 4.1liters using factory parts, but i guess anythings possible.

 

bore and stroke on a 6g72 is 91.1 X 76

I am not sure, but I don't think 6g72 heads would fit on a 6g74-5 block??

I am no expert though, so who knows.

I do know that the SOHC block will not accept the DOHC heads due to the water jackets not lining up, but the bolt pattern is the same.
