2.3, Buschur 35R solid daily driver?

So I am still trying to decide which turbo I want to slap on my 2.3... I live in savannah (small roads, never even got into boost with stock turbo) and this will be the fastest car ive ever owned... I dont drive in the city that much because its a small place and i usually ride a bike to class and whatnot. I just want to know if this will be a managable setup for a dd?

And i REALLY want the power... but should I settle for the gt30?

i loved my 35R on a 2.3 it was awesome but i would definately recomend methanol injection if you dont already have it. at 28 psi the car pulled amazing, fast as hell! and turbolag isn't even noticable

My friend nick aka evolunchbox(evom) has the buschur 2.3 with the stage 3 head. He used daves p-67 aka 37r, and it is a daily driven car. Ask dave, that combo will make more power than a 35r and dave said if felt great for street driving.

I wanna see how long these 2.3l's can last and see how the cyl walls look after a good amount of mileage.

You never got into boost with your stock turbo?

Why you upgrading to a GT35 then.

i too have the buschur 2.3 liter, alky and the gt35r. I enjoy every minute of driving it daily. The car really takes off though in the highway but downshifting should take care of any accelaration problems on shorter roads.

If you plan on running alky, meth, or race gas a lot, 35R. Sticking to pump gas... 30R.

around town... i dont always drive in the historic district tho.

and im stayin away from meth like I said before, for now at least. I had it on my 20g and didnt trust it like i said. I will be using race gas when i go to the track... or want to have some fun. Thats another option im thinking is the 50trim... ahhh so many decisions!
