Dodge Stealth?

Dodge Stealth / Mitsubishi 3000gt Performance Parts?

• Hello all, Once again I'm stumped. I have future plans to buy either a Stealth or a GT (Turbo only). I want this for a more or less show off car, with a lot of speed possibilities. There's actually 2 parts to this question, so here goes: 1. First, the GT and Stealth are EXACTLY THE SAME! (except the gt's frame is nicer, and rarer), so keep that in mind. What parts would be put in either car to make it perform better? Also please if at all possible provide prices of each part (not required). Include whether or not the FWD or AWD model would be better, I think the turbo comes with AWD, but I'm not 100% sure. The turbo comes stock with about 320 HP, and over 300 lb torque. 2. Next, would the gt/stealth be the best option over (if choice is "other" provide parts and prices aswell): Nissan 300zx Toyota MR 2 1996 Corvette (I don't really like it) Maybe a 2002 Camero SS (sp issues probably) Mazda RX-7 (older model) *Feel Free to Provide an under 10k Car with over 300hp to list* These cars other than the Camero are all under 10k, so thats why I like them. This is going to be a 2nd car, first being a FWD 04 Hyundai Tiburon GT, which was looks over performance (no real complaints).

• Answer:

  The Mitsu you are talking about is actually rather rare, as you know there were far more non-turbo models produced and sold. If I recall correctly, I believe the turbo was offered only one year. Engine modifications are a plenty, and the primary goal to start would be an increase in displacement of the engine. Since we are working with a turbocharged intake, (forced aspiration), it is usually a better bet to not increase the stroke of the engine. By not increasing the stroke, it will permit us to increase compression ratio by a decrease in size of the actual combustion chamber. When this is done, it permits the engine modification specialist to form a better and higher power bearing combustion by making a smoother flame propagation toward the combustion chamber exit. That is basically the difference between stock and high performance racing cylinder heads with the exception of the ports themselves along with the valves inside of them. The turbo itself would need to be completely refurbished with a larger pin roller bearing set which could permit a higher attack angle so the overall result would be a turbo that spools up faster and offers higher RPM and more bar pressure linearly along its CFM output. Most modified and race worthy turbo chargers can produce in excess of 20 pounds boost, way more than you will be using (probably) If you are not an engine specialist, your best bet is: Have the engine brought into an engine performance shop familiar with your engine type. Have the entire engine gone through, increase the bore as said and leave the stroke alone. Purchase some aftermarket race cylinder heads that are designed for forced aspiration. There are plenty of makers out there. Take the turbo to a high performance turbo shop. You might be better off to get a different turbo though since the one for that vehicle may not be capable by its design to attain the pressure required for high horsepower. With your motor, when it's all said and done properly, you should be able to achieve anywhere from 490-605 HP at top RPM. Keep in mind that you really dont want to go any further with a street machine designed for much less HP because the engine will have its effects on the frame it is in, eventually, tweaking the frame where it mounts to powerteam (engine, trans, and differential) Good luck with your project..
