“6G72 Engine for Sale” – JDM Mitsubishi 3000GT GTO Twin Turbo Motor (2nd Generation) at Arthur Gonzalez JDM Engines
Looking for a genuine 6G72 engine for sale? At Arthur Gonzalez JDM Engines, we offer authentic JDM Mitsubishi 3000GT GTO 6G72 Twin Turbo engines (2nd Generation) imported from Japan and inspected before shipment. Whether you’re restoring a Mitsubishi GTO, replacing a failed motor in a 3000GT VR-4, or completing a period-correct build, this legendary twin-turbo V6 remains one of the most distinctive performance engines to come out of Japan.
The 2nd generation 6G72 Twin Turbo (1994–1998) powered the later Mitsubishi 3000GT GTO Twin Turbo models and continued the platform’s reputation for combining strong turbocharged performance with advanced engineering. With its DOHC 24-valve design, factory twin turbos, and AWD compatibility, the 6G72 became one of Mitsubishi’s flagship performance engines during the 1990s.
Today, clean JDM examples remain in demand among enthusiasts who want originality, strong torque delivery, and a true JDM drivetrain experience.

Why the 2nd Generation 6G72 Twin Turbo Still Stands Out
The 2nd generation JDM 6G72 Twin Turbo refined the formula that made the 3000GT GTO famous. These later engines benefited from continuous platform updates while retaining the characteristics enthusiasts still look for today: strong low-end torque, factory twin-turbo power delivery, and durability when maintained properly.
Unlike many high-revving four-cylinder turbo engines of the era, the 6G72 delivers a broad powerband and a more substantial V6 driving experience. It remains a popular choice for OEM restorations and enthusiasts keeping VR-4 and GTO platforms on the road.
With proper maintenance, fueling, and tuning, these engines continue to support performance builds while maintaining the character that made the platform iconic.
