VR-4 specs? whats the hype about?

[indians32]

basically i just been looking around seen alot of threads on the VR-4. i did as much research and found its a tt engine that puts out 320 hp. is this correct? any info on this motor would be great. also jsut wondering about galants with the vr4. did they only make them for the 1st gen?

EDIT: Some more stuff....
The Galant came with a 4g63 engine, just like the ones in our cars, so swapping your 4g63 for another 4g63 is pointless.
The 3000GT came with a 6g72 engine. This is a 6-cylinder motor that WON'T fit under your hood.

ok to clear up this. dont say it will not fit in the engine bay. maybe check youtube title (gsx eclipse vr4 swap) that video proves that was a false statment

Corrections; Only the 6th Gen Galant VR4 (sold in the US) have the 6bolt 4g63t, the 7th and 8th Gen Galant VR4's and Legnums (wagon version) which were not sold in the US have the 6 cyl twin turbo just like the 3000gt VR4.

The 7th and 8th generation Galant Vr4's did get a TT V6 but it wasn't the same one as a 3000gt VR4. It was a TT 2.5 liter V6.

Didnt mean to say it was the same engine, i was just stating the fact that it was also a TT 6cyl.

If someone wanted one, there is one at a Maaco here by me. The ad says "1991 Mitsubishi VR-4 GT twin turbo front clip, includes intercoolers, radiator, a/c condenser, twin turbo engine (needs rebuild), 5 speed transmission, computer, etc. $995 cash"
