The 6 Things I HATE About My Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 Twin Turbo

[@thefakejevin]

I picked up my 98 SL 8 months ago and it’s been good to me. I’ve done some basic mods, wheels, intake, suspension, and exhaust. It’s been an a amazing cruiser for sure but trying to find parts for it is a big pain. I do wish the aftermarket support was better, but at the same time it kinda shows how under appreciated the platform is and underrated so it makes driving one a lot more special.

[@mdoe8]

One thing about the weight is that some very common mods bring the weight down fast. AWS delete, new wheels, new exhaust, maybe a new hood, and you’re a couple hundred pounds less. Still not “light”, but down to some of its competitors.

[@yung_1240]

i have a '92 3000GT SL and it's the first car i've worked on. it was hard to learn but i just finished up the valve seals, water pump and timing belt job. takes a lot of dedication to work on one of these

[@davedewey868]

Very tidy Mitsi my friend. I love my 95 MR GTO. Yes its hard 2 work on and yes parts are hard to get, im lucky that my local mechanic and friend loves working on it and being mates with the main parts supplier here in the UK is a blessing. ❤

[@turbo_brian]

The transverse v6 has weight distribution advantages for an awd layout. If you look at audi and subaru the engine is entirely in front of the front axle while the 3/s engine is a lot closer to the front axle.

[@MiguelDsm]

Do you think that overtakes the fact that it’s the hardest car to work on?

[@CutACrow]

@@MiguelDsm No way, the Z32TT is 100% the reigning champion for PIA engine bays. VR4 being second place. Honestly after working on a VR4 for 5 years its not that difficult to work on (aside from the deeper repairs ala rear turbo) its just you need to remove pieces to get access to the piece you're gonna work on. I highly suggest you look into intake manifold studs (might as well get the 3sx Phenolic spacer too for extra heat regulation) makes life 10x easier for spark plug maintenance/rear valve cover maintenance.

[@MiguelDsm]

I can see the Z being bad. The real question is what engine requires more attention? As far as the vr4 getting easier to work on I agree. I was overwhelmed with it at first and realized it’s just removing other parts to gain access to others. It’s just more work to do vs a 4cyl 4g63 for me

[@turbo_brian]

As an automotive engineer I can tell you I tend to package things as aggressively as mitsu did with the 3000gt, hahaha

[@andrewmcintosh9832]

Not really the VR4 has a weight distribution of 58/42 which is the same as the WRX. The transmission and transfer case is also in the front.

[@sigvision4189]

Vr4 has been my dream car forever but i have honestly never owned one. My 99 SL is the closest i have been. I went through my whole build with only using a vr4 gauge and front brakes to save parts for guys like you 😊 I agree you have to be able to work on your own to be able to afford the up keep. On the weight side Mitsubishi would of saved 200 lbs easy if they cut the number of fasteners in half. Our cars have so many bolts and screws 😞

[@MiguelDsm]

Front bumper itself has like 20.. lol

Fun fact in the original script for the first fast and furious movie Brian was written in to drive a 3000GT first then the Eclipse second, also the 3000GT that was in the prelude to 2 Fast 2 Furious that was a Dodge Stealth made to look like a 3000GT

[@MiguelDsm]

Why did they end up switching scripts? They just decided to keep the dsm as the hero car?

[@jacobasuncion3132]

@@MiguelDsm from what I’ve heard the scene where Brian pops the top off the Supra was kept in so they need a car with a removable top and not enough 3000GT showed up to the audition, while compared to the Eclipse they had plenty to choose from

[@MiguelDsm]

The 3000gt was expensive at the time. I can see how the eclipse was a more popular option considering the gsx was around 13k cheaper

[@grindersandgears3445]

@@MiguelDsm The hero car isn't even a GS-T, let alone a GSX, just a lame 420a, lol. And spending $10k on a 420a is NOT money well spent. Don't get me wrong, for commuting there's nothing wrong with one, but if you're trying to go fast, spending money on one is a waste of time. You'll spend twice as much to go half as fast as a 4g63.

Notchy gears for the 6 speed is pretty common from what I’ve heard. You get used to it though

I have a dodge stealth r/t tt and the amount of times I’ve worked on the car I sometimes want to give up and just sell the car but the driving experience it gives you it’s amazing but everything you said was spot on and for us Stealth owners there’s even fewer parts especially aftermarket parts

[@grindersandgears3445]

A surprisingly large # of people, myself included, first discovered and fell in love with them in GT1. It understeered like a pig, but with over 1k hp, and the traction to put it down, it just didn't matter, lol.

[@Maelthras]

The most under rated car of the 90's, it was comparable to legends such as the supra and gtr. But its limited numbers also meant it was in limited view. There was an idea to have the stealth rt/tt be the pace car in nascar in 1992 but they wouldn't allow an import platform and instead used the dodge viper. And that became an instant legend. I have the 92 dodge stealth rt/tt and that is the same car just different trim under the dodge name. Incredibly rare car and yeah, super expensive to have worked on and difficult to work on cause of weight, height, and space. But it is a cruising car, very fun as well.

[@druunderwood]

I drove an s2000 for 4 years (best shifter feel) and I've had 3 of these, and still have 2 and I'm always wanting more from the shifter...get a used stock 6 speed shifter assembly (I had the 3sx bearing loaded short shifter for one day and it just made everything worse), rebuild it with the stock mitsubishi bushings (you can get them from Cherry Hill Mitsubishi in New Jersey...i just did recently)....then get the solid metal shifter bushings from 3sx for the shifter cable and shifter base, and that's the best you're gonna get...also, try Pennzoil Synchromesh, but chances are the trans will still grind because most of them do....the synchros are garbage...so either shift slower, double clutch, or call Chris at RVENGE Performance and have him rebuild yours....I'm going to have him do mine eventually but for now I know how to shift around the issues...if it gets worse, i'll have it rebuilt by Chris...

[@grindersandgears3445]

Surprised bearing loaded was worse for you, but then I was coming from some ebay special POS, and anything is an upgrade over that...

[@Skarmory20]

Got a JDM Mitsubishi GTO, and it has the exact same issue with the notchy trans, I'm gonna upgrade the bushings with the 3sx kit and see if that fixes it

[@gofurtherbeyond]

And at this point I don't want Mitsubishi to touch it ever again

[@mazenschnefeldt5077]

Hey Miguel, I couldn't agree more with your points of view. Although the car is underestimated and has a bad rep for being unreliable, it is compared to a supra or skyline somewhat cheaper to buy parts for. The issue is supply and demand. In the US it might be hard to get parts for th car, but here en Europe, they are starting to get a following. Mostly because the other 99's cars are getting stupidly expensive, which drives parts costs through the roof aswell. I have never worked on on a 3000gt or anything like it before, sure I have swapped some engines on a BMW or Mitsubishi mirages. Anyway, what was I saying? Right, I bought a disassembled car with an engine that wasnt assembled aswell. Put it together in a week's time, sadly it had 3 bent valves. Took it apart, sent it out for head check, assembled it with new parts and it's working great now. Also rebuilding an ECS shock ATM. Which I found was easy enough, don't know why people struggle with it🤷

[@grindersandgears3445]

3sx sells a bearing loaded shifter, as well as all the other bushings, upgrading/replacing them all, including in the cables on the transmission end should help. Also, it's possible you have an aftermarket short shifter, mine had a shitty ebay one when I bought it, I could barely get 1st and reverse, first thing I did was toss that and install the bearing loaded one, night and day.

[@paullong1714]

I have a mitsubishi 3000gto na. And I absolutely love it, every where I go in that car every body looking at it. Love it

[@Portorrro86]

One piece drive shaft. Complete IMR turbo down pipe w/ test pipe & Borla car back combo along with Arashi turbos kit… man, you’ll make more than enough on the stock tune to enjoy the car reliably. You only need to change the waste gate springs (which come with turbo kit & set up instructions) to slightly increase boost safely. A jester standalone makes tuning 1,000,000 times easier since it’s an oem plug n play. Even a jester intake filter housing which uses air density sensors from BMW but in a 3K GT configuration.

Put a bearing loaded short throw shifter in. The OEM lever is comically tall/the focal point too whack. Short throw helps a lot with both feel and getting into gear. Less throw = less likely to grind due to less time it takes to get into gear.

If I was going to put in the effort to swap turbos, I’d go straight to the 19ts lol

Revenge preformance offers a second gear upgrade and they say that is the cause of all gear shift from one through five not being smooth .

[@Pushe6]

does yours have the same 6 speed that the evo 9 MR uses? i've heard that those are notoriously bad and are very prone to grenading themselves all the time if you mess up. if the 5 speed is the same one that the eclipse/evo uses i would probably switch over to that since they're a little more robust than the 6-speeds ( i could be wrong ). all in all i would just bushings and shift linkages since yours is abnormally notchy for it to be a stock trans, makes me wish that companies like Acuity would make shifter assemblies for mitsubishi cars since our only option is to switch to a KDM shifter that costs nearly $2000 for the entire assembly, and really thats only for drag setups, theres really nothing made for the street side of things

[@grindersandgears3445]

if you get a 93, year won't make much difference mechanically. 91-92 have a few shortcomings, 2 bolt mains on the engine, weaker tcase namely. It matters less if you aren't looking to mod to go fast. But for a 1g 93 is definitely the year to have, otherwise 1g vs 2g is mostly preference based on look and features imo. They lost features over the year, the latest cars have no ECS, active aero, or active exhaust, I think they still had AWS from what I can remember but I could be wrong on that one. Watch out for caved in oil pan(can cause oil starvation, then spun mains), and make sure TB is less than 60k and or 10 yrs old. Oh, and 1g is a 5 spd, 2g is a 6 spd.

Well said! I've got both a NA (1992) automatic and TT, 6 speed (1996) and your observations, experience and thoughts do echo mine! Yes, the passion for the car and the way it looks and makes you feel can often be dampened by the tight working space, complicated luxuries (active spoilers, all wheel drive & steering, etc.) & annoying buzzer if you open door with key still in or lights on plus that annoying bleep pressing heater buttons!, oh, your gear box is what it is, just like mine - stiff, heavy and tricky at times, but as you said, its a GT car, not modern sports (boy) racer. Compare all your (honest & from the heart) dislikes against the satisfactory feeling of knowing what you've done to keep this on the road (anyone can buy a new car a warranty looks after!) and the pleasure it gives you and that everyone else who sees it, somehow feel the same through those admiring stares or comments thrown at you at the stop lights, as you park up for how it looks, sounds, and makes everyone feel good!

Honestly not worth building the vr4.

Still got walked by 5.0s with fbo it was an experience but expect something to break or weird engine noises every other week.

Twin turbo badges on sail panels, more surefire way, intercoolers, if stock you can see the sidemounts in the bumper holes, an FMIC will be obvious. And technically the AWD driveline, but unless you can look underneath the car that won't help you. I suppose the brake calipers would also give it away if the wheels are a style that let you see them well enough, vr4's all have fixed 4 pistons up front, 1g does have a single piston rear floater if I remember, but 2g has a 2 piston rear fixed.
