Hey everyone.. I'm thinking of rebuilding my base model 3000gt motor with a few aftermarket upgrades.. this is what I have in mind for now.
-cold air intake
-exhaust system
-header(probably polish and wrap)
-spark plug
-cam shaft
-cam gears
-forged pistons
-throttle body
-act clutch
-grounding kit
-valves + valves springs
-port and polish
So would anyone knows how much HP I'll gain just from this? I'm thinking about 20hp or so possibly.. But I'm not sure.. Does anyone think this would be too much of a hassle? from the prices I found etc.. Is about $4718.98 total... It is somewhat a lot. But it'll be worth it since I have the money and all. Does any have any opinion? Anything would be great.

 

all that moeny for 20 hp? not worth it at all. do a tt conversion if you wanna spend so much money.

 

Not worth the money.

 

You could sell the car....... and get a VR4 with that cash!

 

hm.. i guess i could just sell my car this summer and get a vr4.. then i'll upgrade pistons, headers, intakes, turbo etc.. that way i'll be able to boost more hp.. with the same amount of money.. the hard part is finding a good condition vr4 around wisconsin..

 

man u crazy wasting all that money for 20 horses do a twin turbo swap lot cheaper and better and a lil bit money in ur pocket or buy more stuff for ur car

 

Well i think you need to learn a little before you bite off that task. Sell the car and get yourself a VR4 to begin with. In the mean time sign onto 3si.org and begin learning....

PS: NOT headers! (EXHAUST MANIFOLD!)

 

i have a major question.. i was looking around the threads and couldn't find my answer so yah.. i was wondering.. what would it take for a vr4 to push at least 500awhp? any answer would be great!!
