gt35r turbo

I was looking at the gt35r 84 trim turbo on modacar.com. I was wondering if this is a good, powerful turbo for my eclipse? Als I would like to know if it is ok for everyday drving?

Definetly not a good daily driving turbo. To me it sounds like its way overkill for what you should be looking at. What kinda power to do plan on trying to make?

i want to get somewhere over 450

You do realize you need to build up the block in order to run that. The stocker just wont take it

yeah i know. I was going to buy some new heads, spring, loaders. Also a stroker kit.

Well if your gonna put all this into it its not gonna be a daily driver i hope. Because there is no way you want to be driving a car with that much power everyday. It would be horrible. Also what you said makes no sense "new heads, and springs" ?? If your getting a new head id hope youd buy a built one which would come with everthing such as the cams, valve springs, retainers, ect. But have you seriously looked into the costs of what you are proposing. Your looking at spending well over 10k.

I have a ford ranger to drive every day. I meant just driving on the street. Also I want to spend about that much im going to mod it slowly.

the car will still be a PITA to drive on the street.   Loud, annoying, rough but some like that.  I personally hated it and that is whymy Evo is sold now lol

just out of curiosity as well, is this for a gsx or gst?

ohyeah...the louder the better. It isagst

that much power is going to be hard to handle, even with an LSD in the tranny.
 
ever think about just having your GST as a fun car with a evo3 or maybe a 20g? if you want to make a drag car (which is what you sound like you want), you want a GSX for more traction with that HP.

Yea i kinda get the feeling you dont know what youd be getting into with this build that your planning. And it will suck to drive around a FWD car at the track with that much power, nvm on the street

ya man not such a good idea my gst and my 16g are enough to cause traction problems without a 35r

yea go with a smaller 16g turbo... you'll still get around 350hp, which will give you some problems as far as traction issues... but it'll be a lot easier to drive and handle on the street... many guys have a 16g on the street and love it... that way you also dont need to build up ur motor... just some simple bolt ons like exhaust, fuel systems, fmic, ect.

the louder the better?   That is just retarded.  You obviously have never driven a high HP 4g63 car on the street.   IT SUCKS and I only put less than 3000 miles on the Evo a year

i would go with what these guys are saying. all of umm know what they are talking about. but you are gonna do what you want anyway so good luck with your build. and give us some pics

My brother had a catback on his G35... and that got ANNOYING. And that was an n/a V6 with a beautiful sound to it... and yet the drone drove me crazy. Same with my brother, to the point where he replaced it with the stock.

G35 stockers sound so nice as it is

they do, i love the way they sound

Yeah my big 16g does suck too as far as traction goes. And yeah you're better off selling and getting a gsx if you want a drag car. And yeah you're gunna hate that car to drive on the streets when its all built up

x2..

Ya the 35r is a big boy turbo..  You only need that if your gonna go out and run with the drag dsm's...   Your looking at race fuel also with that turbo if you use it to its full potential...

yeaH, and i love drivin my buddies 350z, loove the sound, and the thing moves a lil bit too, and i conqur, no reason in gettin a huge turbo and running 10psi
