Yeah,you might be right.
But darn,a 6,5k redline is alot of fun.Hell,running 1.6s for decades was fun.The -20 I ran was a blast.The -23 loses some poke in the bottom(which I miss)but makes it up as a larger displacement engine in the top end.I think you lose the fun of "scramblin "around trying to get grip, with alot top end.
My shytbox is set up for a beatin' Its just not fun to do.So whatta ya guys say?

I reved the engine once at 9000 but it's more like floating at that level. I would say to shift at 7800-8000 1st-2nd-3rd and from 3rd to 4th at 7500 is perfect match.-1993 Familia GT-R, 3" stainless exaust, 0.100" oversize Supertech pistons, ported and polished head, "hemi" style combustion chamber, Supertech 1mm oversize valves, megasquirt, 880cc low-z, MSD HVC, custom SS ramhorn turbo manifold, GT3076R ar.63, 25psi, 3" SS custom exhaust.

Thats true,the g5f6 would work well wouldn;t it? Yeah, I can see That working well!!
I wrote the g5f5 sticker on my trans. on a garage door,never seen a tranny sticker b4!
You start to make power where in the rev range.
I forgot you have that tranny,that should be interesting' unless you go toyota by the by.

Engine kicks at 4500, like vj23, but it's sick from 5500 to 7500.
The idea behind a garrett was parts. Whenever turbo fails it won't be hard to find extra parts for repair.
That transmission is fun to drive but dosen't pulls as strong as the gtr's one. I'll repair it for sure but i recently bought whole jdm gt4 for drivetrain conversion so i won't using it anymore.-1993 Familia GT-R, 3" stainless exaust, 0.100" oversize Supertech pistons, ported and polished head, "hemi" style combustion chamber, Supertech 1mm oversize valves, megasquirt, 880cc low-z, MSD HVC, custom SS ramhorn turbo manifold, GT3076R ar.63, 25psi, 3" SS custom exhaust.

GT4 conversion? very nice! Once that conversion is done, what do you think the weak point of the new setup would be? Seems like everything I'm thinking of has been upgraded or reinforced so far lol.-Jack

Not to mention, the gt4 trans is a st185 simple sychro it's a piece of ****. I'll keep an eye open for a st205 triple synchro. I'll do the conversion next winter, i still run the car and seems like the engine loves cold air. It's fun to spins 4 wheels straight line on 1st 2nd gears on RT615 tires lol.-1993 Familia GT-R, 3" stainless exaust, 0.100" oversize Supertech pistons, ported and polished head, "hemi" style combustion chamber, Supertech 1mm oversize valves, megasquirt, 880cc low-z, MSD HVC, custom SS ramhorn turbo manifold, GT3076R ar.63, 25psi, 3" SS custom exhaust.

I'm using 15 inches. The main factor is cold temperature. Once the streets are below 0 C or wet, i can drift the car on the 1st-2nd-3rd gears but straight line on 1st-2nd. I don't want more traction right now, i'll bring the the Falken to the wear limit. Next tires will have to be street radial though, thanks for the input, i'm going to search specs for MT right now.-1993 Familia GT-R, 3" stainless exaust, 0.100" oversize Supertech pistons, ported and polished head, "hemi" style combustion chamber, Supertech 1mm oversize valves, megasquirt, 880cc low-z, MSD HVC, custom SS ramhorn turbo manifold, GT3076R ar.63, 25psi, 3" SS custom exhaust.
