He asked if a moded 3t was a waste of time/money.
Yours was obviously unsucessful, many others weren't. period. but u blame the motor.
I did the 32/36, cams, head, etc.. then went to sidedrafts + nitros. Downsides were noise and tempermental, just like any other similiarly moded motor, but in a te72 it was a fast car. I revved it repeatedly to 8500 rpm (stock tach) on the stock bottom end. Never had a problem. Parts dirt cheap unlike todays motors; cam $150, springs $60 usd
After seeing 3tc STREET turbo motors today, still waxing 3sgte, sr20, 13b, etc., Taking into account what they spend on such outfits vs the end results, I'd say they're still worth it. Point I'm making is that you already have a very capable platform. Research it if u like and weigh the costs, before u dismiss it.
Some use stock inexpensive mazda truck pistons. Make a turbo manifold just as you'd do for a 4ag. Hack an intake/ run standalone. Then you'd be in some pretty fast company.
Folks this way are surrounded by reasonably priced late model powerplants, but yet still they RARELY swap out a 3tc, and its not because they can't. There is a reason.
Puerto ricans aren't only crazy, they're very smart.
