TURBOing a Naturally Aspirated 3000GT
I was wondering if i could just put a turbo in my car without any parts from the VR-4. i mean i dont want twin turbos or anything. i mean, if you could turbo any naturally aspirated car, cant you do the same to the SL or Base 3kgt?? i dont really know much about turboing anything so, any help or comments are apprieciated.

Yes you can turbo your NA 3000gt. There is a kit already made by mitsu. "if your engine is a DOHC"
Go to www.3SI.org and search unter the forced induction forums. there is lots of info there on the conversion. Many have done it, including me. The kit I speak of is the VR4. Pretty much all the components are bolt up. Check it out! Mine has been boosted for over 20k now and is still running great.

RE: TURBOing a Naturally Aspirated 3000GT
The "kit" I was referring to was the fact that all the components you need to turbo a DOHC 3000gt were installed on the VR4 Twin Turbos from the factory. Most of the conversion from NA to Turbo is bolt up. Just swapping the parts from an old VR4 twin turbo to your NA. There is alot of work involved, and it can be expensive. But if you search for the parts used "but in good condition" you can Twin Turbo your Non-turbo 3000gt. It is of course more involved than I am describing. Here is a link to a forum on 3SI.org where you can find all the information you would need. Na to forced induction forums 3SI
