in some ways wouldnt that be a good thing for other people...what i mean is that what if you dont want your car racing from the grocery store to school and to work? when u drive and do ur normal life things, wouldnt u want it to drive around tame...and when u want to race (with enough road) u get on it till u build boost and bounce off red line and feel the full force of a 35r on a 2.0L??? ( i have a very smiliar setup under construction as we speak)

 

This thread makes me want to put a small turbo on the yellow car.

 

Your old set up with the 35R seem to run pretty good on the street and track

 

Put a 16g on it Jerry.

 

There's never enough road to unleash a 600 whp car that makes power from 6-10k. Not unless you drive the interstates or rural roads at night. Too many people and not enough road surface for that. I have to drive several miles out of my way- in the middle of the night- just to use the ~270 whp I drive around with every day to do the occasional WOT run. My commute to USF and back is all traffic, stoplights, part throttle and rarely over 10 lbs boost. It's the same pretty much anywhere within 30 miles of Tampa. These cars are dogs without that part-throttle capability- even with 10:1 compression you're not looking at more than Civic power off boost on a big turbo setup with big cams and a sheetmetal.

It's all different strokes for different folks, but for a fun street car you really don't want to go bigger than the 50 trim/GT30R range.

 

I know it's a dirty word around here but from what I've heard a 2.3/2.4 combined with the FP3065 is a great setup for both street and track duty. FP3065's in general seem to be well liked, compromise of 35R power and 30R spool.

 

gay

 

fixed.

 

As soon as it got into boost the motor would be out of breath.

 

WHY is everyone so intrigued by the 30R's all of a sudden?!?!?
