    Mitsubishi 3000GT Twin Turbo Swap

    MarkGT has a '94 3000GT base model. The engine is in bad condition so he decided on a VR4 Twin Turbo swap. He brought his car up to me (Phoenix Tuning, http://www.phoenixtuning.com ) and had a VR4 clip shipped up here, and today I pulled the engine out. Here are some pics for you guys.

    The clip:

    It's a tight fit! :)

    The 3000GT base model is FF, not AWD right?

    Woah, lets chat :D Do you do rebuilds on heads and stuff? I really want to rebuild my head with Weisco Forged Pistons and Rods and run new valves so I can do 16psi+ of boost. Also how much do you charge to do a timing belt? :D

    PM me..... and your pistons/rods are in the block, not your head! If you wanted to do pistons, rods, and timing 'belt' (i believe the 1zz's are chained) i would suggest pulling the motor....
