got a 3000gt/gto...

Post by erolit »

i have a red '98 3000gt (gto) , had it for about a year now (just a few mods..). just wondering if anyone else here had GTO's, and what kinda performance those with turbo'd FTO's have.

btw im in melbourne, wouldnt mind comming along to an FTO meet if they exist.

As far as I know, nobody on this list owns a GTO (except for you).

As for turbo FTO performance, there is DannyboyAu - see his post on 6A13 Conversion - with a 6A13 turbo (galant VR4) in an FTO, which is pulling some big numbers.

There is at least one or two other standard FTO's with a turbo added.
There is a PDF document about one here:

Dannyboy's VR-4 powered FTO pumps out approx. 400hp at the front wheels... it's an absolute beast.

There is another 2/3 members here with turbo'd MIVEC FTOs (one each from Vic, SA and NSW) but not sure on the numbers they can churn out...

they would be getting a lot of traction issues with 400fwhp on such a light car wouldnt they?

well traction issues are just a start... apparently Danny's car wheelspins on all 5 gears during boost! he's still got lots more work to do, esp since he blew up his motor just recently.
