It looks like the oil pan is dented , please check that, if it is the oil pickup tube it will have no clearance and will starve the engine from oil. This is one of the main reasons of a spun bearing. If If i were you I'd also check the bearing just to make sure there in spec and if you see bearing material in the oil.
Man it makes me really glad that the 3000GT is getting some well deserved loved and recognition! I too am restoring a 3000GT VR4 I have some videos in my channel if anyone wants to check them out I was impressed with how nice the paint looked on the downpipe and test pipe, good job guys, subscribed!
You can most certainly use that exhaust for 500awhp! You can drop in some 19T's or DR 650 turbos and they bolt right up as they are just larger TD04 turbos.
Because of fitment issues on my old vr4, I did have to use the old front downpipe as well. Although I did bust the old catalytic insides out. In case you are still restricted, do that.
Yo I would go with a 97 98 front bumper then send the head light to 3Slights and have him put halos around the projecters and do a robo mod to the headlights it looks soooo good! And I love that your keeping the active areo wing. 3slights does a great job my friend had his done on his vr4 and it turned out beautiful
What model or year had the active aero back wing? I do remember trying to take one off the line from a red light. He had a car parked in his lane ahead. He blew by me , cut in front and then waved his wing up and down at me.
So I know you guys like to clean everything up and bring it back to like new. I would recommend you looking dry-ice media blasting, it can be used everywhere on the car undercarriage, engine bay, even on plastics.
It's got a sense of old low displacement v12 of the 60s 70s of Ferrari and lambo Something like that Some of those v12 were flat... So maybe that's why Before comments come I I know this is a v6
The interior pieces made a huge difference! And also you can knock the hive out from the stock cats to make them straight thru 😉 keep up the good work you guys rock . P.s you guys should go full black on all the seats and consider buying a factory black carpet and floor mats to go full murdered out on the interior .
You could have spray painted the original ashtray black for $3. That's what I did on mine. They fade over the years from sun and general contact and use.
Interested to see the route you take here! These cars are cheap and easy to work on for the most part. Is this going to be a giveaway car like the last was?
I’m not so familiar w this car. Question will the transfer case ( if that’s correct name) handle 450bhp?? Loving it Evan. 🤣 at floor mats. Consider weather tech...too add, maybe go w black carpet kit and keep seats same color if plans are to keep it black
🤩🤩 I would love a gto VR4 but I have a 0 year old and a 2 year old that's why I have a forester xt now. Still I can't wait to see what happens. Waching this with my new born 👶🤩
please take a vr4 and make it your prject car.... and go mickey spec with one of this... because when u do giveaways cars you make it pretty and its gone... i want a full theatment on one of this ones cause i love them and there is no one else doing this
@@anthonyciccariello8089 Yeah I have a GTO imported from Japan,I think New Zealand was the only other country to keep the GTO name,they changed the name to 3000gt so it wouldn't upset Pontiac owners in US and Ferrari owners in Europe!
@@andrewmcintosh9832 it already had the main cat delete test pipe which he reused. And my bad, he couldn't get the rear bank CAT off because of poor access. Didn't realise it was tucked right up in that gap. And also Evan even says we still have one CAT ( 9.28 ) which is why I thought he had left one cylinder bank and deleted the other. It's a V6 transverse mounted.
I replaced mine with the black carpet and kept the seats the same and it looks a thousand times better I also need my front seats redone pls let me know how much you get them done for hahaha especially since you guys close to the border
im not going to lie the interior little touches were great. that ash tray is super annoying to keep looking good they fade so easy. as far as everything else you did today it just seems like a giant waste of time. i know the vr4 is not the most important thing in your shop right now, but instead if the janky ass exhaust why dident you just give her a bath? it just seems like this car is getting little to no love and as a vr4 owner myself that sucks. yall could have at least cleaned her up a bit.
@@estebangonzalez6877 if the owner neglected the car and didnt keep up with the maintenance of course it will be a Pain In the Ass to work on.. and yes they are heavy tanks lol..

wrong !!! ughhhhh
@@Chazer45 What's wrong? Mattdeath is 100% correct.
I saw that too. That dented oil pan needs to be addressed immediately.

I'm super excited to see this VR4 transformation!
I love my 3000gt putting 3sx headers on this weekend
When xrp hits high you'll be doing a lot more modes my man!! I got 3 x 3000gt`s xrp will make it ferrari killers
Love from Australia

Unplug the blue connector behind the stereo to get rid of the door buzzer, please!!
VR-4 is still a beast IMO.

For the love of god, delete the door open alarm. It's right behind the stereo head unit
It's got a sense of old low displacement v12 of the 60s 70s of Ferrari and lambo
Something like that
Some of those v12 were flat... So maybe that's why
Before comments come I
I know this is a v6
I had a couple dsms and loved them always wanted a vr4 thought they were very advanced and futuristic when they came out love it guys!
That 3000Gt is sick.. Legend In The Making 👈
im so excited tha the love is being started on this VR4
Somehow the ashtray on my 95' VR4 was the same, polished it with plastic polish = good. You'd think everything would be oxidized/burnt by UV the same.
Are you going to get them recoved and if so can you give use a price and how long it would take to replace them thank
The interior pieces made a huge difference! And also you can knock the hive out from the stock cats to make them straight thru 😉 keep up the good work you guys rock .

Excited about the OEM ashtray haha
Such a wicked car can't wait to see the end result you guys will kill it like all the other builds
nice beginning of vr4
Interested to see the route you take here! These cars are cheap and easy to work on for the most part. Is this going to be a giveaway car like the last was?
Ditch that wing! 99 combat wing for the win!
Love the Project , excited to see what else is in store for it.
Dope! Keep up the 3kgt life working on mine needed some help because I'm not a gear head but I'm working on it thanks!!!!!
Are you sure that the pipe for the rear turbo just for the front, from the video it looks like it has the same bends.
This RX7 looks funny
How much is the seats gonna cost to get redone? I have the exact same seats on mine

*Real question is.... Will it do a fat skidd* 😂😂 loving the content guys keep up the great work you're appreciated
Where do you find your aftermarket Mitsubishi parts...please and thank you
I've always dreamed of a 99 VR-4
Are you guys gonna put the pop up headlights in?
How are you registering all these cars in Cali without cats, etc?
🤩🤩 I would love a gto VR4 but I have a 0 year old and a 2 year old that's why I have a forester xt now. Still I can't wait to see what happens. Waching this with my new born 👶🤩
Your the man evan!! The vr4 us sick!!!
It will be!
i have a set of oem black leather seats if you guys decide to go black. excellent condition
Why would you guys get another 3000gt when you've done it before?
because they want one to keep and build for power
I just bought a 1993 dodge stealth r/t twin turbo and my ash tray and cigarette lighter is a different color. I am planning to replace them.
please take a vr4 and make it your prject car.... and go mickey spec with one of this... because when u do giveaways cars you make it pretty and its gone... i want a full theatment on one of this ones cause i love them and there is no one else doing this
This is not a giveaway car! It will be given some serious throtl treatment
God that m3 is beautiful. Every time I see it on ig I want it lol I have an e60
damn, that intro gave me flashbacks to the old 24 from like 2001
Really interested to see what happens with the E46!
the underside looks nice,you should live over here jeez we get proppa rust
Hell yeah new vid! Cant wait for the car to be built
Yesssssss 👍👍👍 Another awesome VR4
This car is going to be sweet when it’s all done.
Thanks!
Holy shit they responded to me🤯
This question has probably been asked before but what is the purpose of this VR-4? is it somebody's project or another VIP winner car after the RX-8?
This is the next give away before the RX8.
@@mclarenjohnf1 The VR-4 isn't a giveaway car. They've stated it a few times on their IG.
No it's the the new shop car for throtl
That was my favorite car in Gran Turismo. But they called the Mitsubishi GTO. Do you know why throttle crew? Because I don't
They were called the gto for the Japanese Market, like how the 240sx is called a silva in Japan 👍
@@phil1156 very interesting
@@anthonyciccariello8089 Yeah I have a GTO imported from Japan,I think New Zealand was the only other country to keep the GTO name,they changed the name to 3000gt so it wouldn't upset Pontiac owners in US and Ferrari owners in Europe!
any idea on the color yet?
Is this twin turbo?
Throtl ViP squad 👍😊
More vr4 content less rx7 videos
No please..... I need the next rx7 video now!!
Are 3000gt parts cheap now? I had a vr4 about 10 years ago and parts were stupid expensive for them.
nope they are expensive as shit still. i cant restore my 94 vr4 because parts are too high
@@TempoMontages wonder why they decided to pick up another vr4 knowing parts are expensive. Honest the vr4s are awesome but they weigh to much
Ehhh weight not much of a problem compared to now a days
Sounds sick
Old shift boot looked like a recycled pair of bowling shoes lol
Notif Gang. The intro sound is from the tv show 24!!!
Ding ding ding. Winner
I dont care how bad it looks, its still my dream car
due to all the rx7 work, i forgot you guys even had this thing lol
Need to get a 2 step going
What year is this
One bank of cylinders have CAT one doesn't lol sketchy as hell.
And what about the rear wheel steering, does it work as it's a known fault.
Actually if you watched the whole video he put the precats back on and just deleted the main cat.
@@andrewmcintosh9832 it already had the main cat delete test pipe which he reused.

so you cross to TJ Mexico just to test the car and make around 2 hr line to cross back 😆😆😆😄😄😄
Make the seats black!!
Put black floor mats! :)
Full black interior. Redo the carpet and seats in black. Tan looks horrible with the black
Agreed
better than the red carpet,tan seats,black dash mine got xD
@@az_3kgt714 mines hunter green with a black dash
Nice intro !!
Its got a "flex" pipe, somebody call LZ
Who thumbs downed this video... youre going to hell!
why another vr4?
Usual spot in Mexico, hahahahahha
i can sell you my billet dr650 turbos and forged ross pistons for cheaper then new if you are interested.
VR4 content...😀
send me the one you removed or when you changed the turbo lol
Finally!
Stick with Mickey for the build videos...
Would have honestly left the grey floor mats since you think that the grey is trash dont like your taste even
Yeah. I’m thinking we replace the entire carpet and get new floor mats. It’s just not working rn.
I replaced mine with the black carpet and kept the seats the same and it looks a thousand times better I also need my front seats redone pls let me know how much you get them done for hahaha especially since you guys close to the border

Drop that car off at the dump
Worked at Mitsubishi for years. Even heavily modified and tuned the car is a nose heavy tank that is miserable to work on.
@@estebangonzalez6877 if the owner neglected the car and didnt keep up with the maintenance of course it will be a Pain In the Ass to work on.. and yes they are heavy tanks lol..
