anyone familar with a mitsubishi3000vr4 twin turbos: i just had to buy it

white shadow · 12-31-2003, 11:10 PM

I'm still keeping my 87 t-type but,this 92 vr4 has factory twin turbos and all wheel drive it puts out a factory rated 300hp.I bought this car from a christian couple that just are moving in a different direction.Anyways this car is beautiful fire engine RED with all black leather interior and bose sterio that is factory.The car even has a 5,000 dollar set of polished wheels.I just can't believe that i got this car for 9,000dollars and it has only 71,000 babied miles and has always been garaged.
Now i know it's not a buick but,i thought someone could tell me how fast i can get this car to run in the 1/4mile with MODS .I read that i can do minor mods and that will get me a total of 500 to 630horse power.Does anyone want to help me learn something about my new road car please feel free to help me learn.
THANKS

Wow, been a while, what did I miss????????

Might wanna contact the starter of this thread. He has had the 93 Stealth TT quite a while, I believe.

do yourself a favor and sell it

actually go and try to change the plugs then you won't regret selling it. They do handle nice though, and are fun when they actually work

:rant2:

anyway,
check out www.3si.org
I would get all the service records and info you can get about it. Especially see if the 60k service was done, if not get it done!

The most important thing with these cars is prevenative maintance.

how fast you lookin to go with it?
with just bolt ons and little more boost deep in the 13's is no prob. the big thing is how you want to launch it with the awd you can rev it to the moon and dump the clutch

but then of course comes the whole broken parts thing

stevemon · 01-01-2004, 07:10 AM

Yep. Take a TR into the mid 11s and you may regret it someday. Take a VR4 beyond mid 13s and you will regret it.

I dont know about that If its the same car as a dodge sleath that is up hear in canada,I would sell it because the trannys are junk.

white shadow · 01-01-2004, 11:53 AM

The 60,000 mile service was done including the belt being replaced as suggested.Thanks for your help and advice i'll drive it and if it gives me any trouble i will sell it;if not,i will fly in it.I hope. Thanks for the thread too!

That car is sold here in Canada as the Dodge Stealth. MAJOR tranny problems and VERY expensive to repair. Get it checked Pronto.

typical dodge junk....

FlyinGN · 01-01-2004, 04:15 PM

FYI- Dodge has NOTHING to do with this car. Its 100% Mitsusishi.

TRFanatic · 01-01-2004, 05:14 PM

Yes, as far as I know it is a 100% Mitsubishi built drivetrain. The Mitsubishi Eclipse was also sold here as an Eagle Talon, Plymouth Laser.

Thats why there high maintance

FlyinGN · 01-01-2004, 06:39 PM

actually the DSM(Eclipse,talon,laser) have NOTHING to do with a 3000/stealth. No like parts at all.
The DSM's were built in Normal Ill and the 3000/stealth's were built in Japan.
DSM designed here too .. The other was not
