95 3000gt Vr-4

[Ondonti]

When you have kids improperly racing fast cars....you can bet they will break transmissions. Usually its just worn out synchros and lack of maintenance. Thumbs up for being lazy

Like I said, It showed the 11G on a Mitsu factory stock turbo list, no I was not just guessing. Heres the link: http://hem.passagen.se/lahi/turbo/TD04.pdf

As for 15psi, it can be had with a new CAL or by tricking the one you have to not see boost cut (14.7psi)

but even if i use a boost cut program i wouldnt stilll be able to reach the 15 psi. not enof fuel i thought ? on a stock system???/

[scorpion1]

with boost cut at 14.7psi I think it can handle an additional .3psi.

They were 13 second cars with a good driver, but not low 13 seconds to my knowledge. Thye are simply too heavy with the amount of power they put to the ground stock. Even the 3KGT/Stealth owners will tell you that they run low 14's-high 13's stock....right arund 100mph.

[scorpion1]

sounds like Im gonna have to coax my car to higher speeds :-P

That information is wrong.

What I posted is correct.

The only 3000gt that ever had an 11g is a GTO MR in JAPAN. There are only maybe 500 of those cars ever built.
All USA cars are 9b. If the car has an 11g they are not stock.
If it is a modified 11g car, then the car needs to be fixed because it should blow your doors off from a roll.

No, it all depends on driver. They are not too heavy to run low 13's. Any car that can trap 99-100mph can run low 13's with traction.
Now, the stock clutch doesnt like someone trying to run low 13's stock.

[Reaper1]

The magazines got a best of 13.7 and most run that or slower due to driver error.

To be honest..my car traps 100, but I don't think it'll hit low 13's at all...even with traction and me driving my best, but I could be completely off base and my car quicker than I thought! That would be fine by me!

Magazines dont beat on the clutch.
Running low 13 second passes when stock means you might smoke your clutch in less then 10 passes......but some people get lucky. The weight of the car does hurt the stock clutch if you race it hard. Works great for lazy drivers though.

[scorpion1]

so the 9B is the TDO4? This is whats stamped on his turbo's. Not arguing, just curious. I dont know much about Mitsu turbos. Hence the research :-P

[phantomrt]

Part of what makes the AWD cars so fast in the 1/4 is the launch. A small difference in the 60' makes bigger differences in the 1/4 mile ET. These cars can own in the 60'.

The getrag transmissions in the twin turbo cars are very strong. Why are they always rebuilt? Because of worn synchronizers. Its like a service interval to replace them. The center differentials are often fried, but that's the result of doing something stupid. Other problems include snapping the shaft that drives the transfer case. The transfer cases hold up fine. The recall is due to them leaking fluid and running dry. Basically all you get out of the recall is .2 quarts of gear oil and two new seals. It is kinda a bad design because it doesn't take much dripping before there's no more fluid in it. Just watch it for leaks, and they'll be fine.

The cars aren't particularly problematic, but they've been driven really hard, and due to the car's complexity resulting from how many individual components it has throughout, something somewhere is bound to go wrong.

[Ondonti]

The 5 speed transfer case is a liability but there are good support brackets made for it by Nelson performance pro that have proven 9 second passes. The 6 speed transfer case is bullet proof so far. 6 speed bellhousings are also weak (5 speeds bullet proof so far) but some welding can fix that. There are always things that can be improved for long term performance of a trans though. They have one fix right now that helps keep the input shaft gears from separating with the intermediate shaft (i think thats what it is).

A lot of the transmission woes are either untrue or due to maintenance issues like Phantomrt points out.

Everyone will have transmission problems when they treat their trans poorly or expect it to run forever without repair.

Thanks for the info, Ill have to pass this stuff onto him. With all the problems hes got right now I dont want him having an "I broke it" excuse when we run lol.

What's your 1/4 time and whp?
