3000gt vr4 swap!!!!!!!!!!!>>>HELP<<<
i have a question! my boy wants to do an engine swap on his 1997 sohc 3000gt! i wanted to know any sites you guys might know to kinda help us out with prices or if you know any shops around here or somehwere in gwinnett area. let me know what you guys know and think about doing the vr4 swap on the 3kgt.
thank you!
vr4 swap? get ready to spend 10k. better off buying a vr-4 then trying to make a base into one.
yea dont think he would spend that much on that! i was thinkin just get the dohc 3kgt engine and then just turbo it! how much do you think that would be!
i dont know ,all i know is if its not a vr-4 dont mess with it because trying to make it into a vr-4 will cost more than just buying a vr-4, differentials , transfer case , axles , the engine... its just a major PITA. i guess your better off turboing the engine that's already in there...but your still FWD so...
think he just wants the vr4 engine and is going to keep it fwd....so kinda pointless if its going to be fwd i think!
Very not pointless the engine and tranny matched with the gears in the fwd makes for a seriously fast ass car. some one on here has one for sale that already has the swap done. Look for it in the cars for sale section.Originally Posted by jr4mny
Preciate it! thnx
If you didnt know you have 3 models (4 if you count the 95 spyder conv.) 161hp sohc fwd,220 hp dohc rwd SL and what I had (99 last year made) 330 AWD dohc vr4
i dont think any 3000gt was rear wheel drive stock the sl just had an doch setup with higher compression i think.
In the later years, they dropped the DOHC for a torqier SOHC and went to 222 hp. And no 3kGT was ever RWD. Ever. Even for an FWD pig it was, it could move a little. I would've definately wiped balls all over any V6 mustang or camaro. And I think it was slightly quicker than the 300Zx n/a, but I could be wrong though
K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.
what the fuck are you talking about?
the sohc had 20ftlbs of torque, and 60hp less than the dohc.(e.g. sohc=160/185 / dohc=220/205)
and jr4m tell your friend if he's gonna swap, he might as well get a 6g74 block and build it up and boost it. i think some of them have mivec too. lots of custom fab work for it though
Probably I can walk on v6 mustangs and camaro's as well but n/a 300's are slow...thats why im selling mine.
As far as that guy i told you about ask him about the swap because he has done it before and knows how its done.
thnx yea i knew about the four models!
and i saw the post about that vr4 3kgt. lookz good. i would buy it but runnin low on cash right now. lookin for a job and idk if my friend would want to tradeand add some cash on it. guess ill ask!
they are big turds
I would just find a stealth R/T-TT.. I've always liked those. A guy in my apt complex has a 95 RT-TT that's Yellow.. I'm pretty sure that's one of the rarest colors.
But FWD or not... 300hp is going to be quick

yea true! 300hp anything will be fast..but its so damn heavy.
thnx. ill ask that guy
and yea a lot of fab work but ill let him know.
PM me about this. There are several options and routes you can go here. Ive done a couple of them.
ur better off buying the car...i have a question! my boy wants to do an engine swap on his 1997 sohc 3000gt! i wanted to know any sites you guys might know to kinda help us out with prices or if you know any shops around here or somehwere in gwinnett area. let me know what you guys know and think about doing the vr4 swap on the 3kgt.
