fuel pump relay kit to make sure your fuel pump get can get 12 volt power
4)

Resonator + Cats
Resonator Delete
Gut your cats or buy cats thats just the pipe
without the catalyitic converter in it
Buying Downpipes is expensive
Note:
Hold on to the parts you replace for backup
Your # 4 is backwards. The caliper size of the 2nd/3rd gens is larger.
THANK you for a detailed list!!!! i ALWAYS found it laughable 😂 😂 when i would see guys modify the hell out of their car and not the maintenance 🤦🏾♂️!!!! Fucking dumb 🤦🏾♂️!!!!
Not a bad list, but timing tensioner should be on there, and it especially should be OEM, rest of the items are less critical, but if nothing else, the tensioner should be. Also checking for a caved oil pan should be one of the first things done, there's very little clearance to the oil sump, people support the engine by the oil pan during TB changes (fairly standard practice to be fair) and it can cave the pan, and it only takes a little bit to cause oil starvation (leading to spun bearings) since the sump clearance is so small to begin with.
ALWAYS REPLACE YOUR MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR IF IT HASN'T BEEN REPLACED!!!!!

Look up "free boost mod" for first gen engines. Gives you the 320 hp of the 2nd gen by increasing the diameter of a vacuum line on the wastegate solenoid. You just pull a small plug from the connector and voila. No supporting mods or reflash needed.
This has been disproven. Don't do this it destroys your boost systems
Previous owners neglected maintenance and im dealing with a full rebuild right now. (91 vr4 in Jamaican blue)
Sorry to hear that man, at least you’ll have a fresh engine thats exactly how you want it when you’re done
Scary asf but I salute you for being brave enough👍
Ayyy same here man, got a 91 vr4 Jamaican blue and I’m fully rebuilding kt
I’ve been rebuilding my 92’ in Fiji blue for a few weeks. Timing belt slipped off and bent half my valves 😢
@@jayandrusiak u getting a 6g or a new one ?
Bro I absolutely love your channel, you´re convincing me to buy one like yours
Love to hear it man! Thank you! And you definitely should, they’re amazing cars!
Bro, GREAT video!!!! Well explained!!!!
This was very helpful as I just bought a 92 vr-4 and have been wondering what (non cosmetic) mods to do first
same
def in my top 10 fav japanese cars. so pretty and underrated (imo more beautiful than the RX-7 FD)
excellent and very informative video thank you very much
After owning a total of 6 TT Dodge stealths same as the 3000GT VR4. Maintenance comes first and then the first mod is the y-pipe if not and you run more than stock boost you'll forever blow that damn thing off. I miss the days of dynamic racing and Matt.
awesome vid bro
Thanks man!
new sub lol cool shit >:p drinking watching 3000gt vids and just found this
I agree with most of what he says, but I would say Fuel Sending Unit replacement over exhaust, wheels or suspension.
Love the chicken noises in the background xD
Dude I know I swear they’re the loudest chickens in the world 😂😂😂
@@RostenDrivesi was like WHAT WAS THAT??? (i’m in the city) 😂
i love these cars planning on getting one for myself but the vr4 is insanely hard to find so probably gonna end up getting an sl moddle
Look at salvage auctions. Got my first vr4 91 for 3k in a salvage auctions
Realistically you're going to have to go out of state. I live in PA and got mine from NY, and I still had to compromise, wanted a green 93 vr4 with moonroof, wound up with a red one. Which something like 50% of these were red, it grew on me though, still think I would have liked green better. But now it's purple anyways which is better than either, as it's my favorite color, lol.
Any negative impacts to keeping the exhaust quiet? I'm after the element of surprise. As in, the rest of the car is fully built BUT, it doesn't sound like it. Is it possible to achieve 500-600awhp w/ a silent exhaust?
rear motor mount moment bought car felt a thunk when shifting from first to 2nd and when i got home after a 3 hr drive i checked the motor mounts rear motor mount GONE
rubber bushing is gone just the metal but all the rubber gone
i’ve got a 1998 gt v6 and am scouring the internet for what to do, i’m prioritizing maintenance.
I know Cats are expensive and reduce flow, but suggesting something that will make a car illegal in many states isn't a good tip in my opinion. Maybe suggest gi flow cats instead?
Replace the mass airflow sensor if you haven’t yet!!!
Hey man any advice in where I can find parts? Thank you!
3sx.com and ninjaperformance.com are the 2 main websites for parts for these cars
An AFR is also very critical.
I want a 93 as my first car
am i able to swap the 3000gt airbag with one from an evo x and still have it work properly?
I have no idea man sorry
Fuel filter isn't a service part. You'll know this after you read the service manual.
I’m about to buy a NA 3000gt people are telling me the parts are expensive maintenace is high what parts are making the 3000gt expensive what makes it expensive?
It really depends, I wouldn’t say these cars are crazy expensive to maintain, but it depends a lot of the condition of the car and what all you need to replace. Since these cars are like 30 years old there’s a lot of them out there that haven’t been taken care of very well so they end up needing a lot of stuff replaced and that can add up quick. An NA 3000gt is also going to be easier and cheaper to maintain the a turbo model. If these cars are taken care of and maintained properly then the maintenance really isn’t that bad at all in my experience. Oem parts that are no longer being made can get expensive and hard to find, but there’s lots of parts out there that are actually pretty reasonably priced.
@@RostenDrives I see thank you very much
Hey im looking to buy a 91 3000gt and it has 118,000 miles on it but it seems pretty low for a 30 year old car, is that normal for these cars?
Yeah that’s pretty normal, lots of people would even say that’s pretty low miles
What dimensions are your wheels
Konig Hypergram 18x9.5 +25
These cars are 30 years old and up ... Just keep them stock and dont go pushing hp/boost and ruining them... If you want horsepower, then go buy an hellcat or something similar... Just enjoy the cars as they are fantastisc pieces of technology from a time where similar cars were miles behind.
The relay kit is by far the worst mod you can do to the car.
#6: engine swap ;-)
