What setup did you have player?

I have a worked motor with a 35r and it is NO way as laggy as your setup. Boost by 4200-4800

Oh ok, sounds about right because 3400 - 3600 is higher than 4200 yeah? You are DREAMING if you think your turbo spools faster than anything. A Garret 3076 is much smaller than the 35r and makes full boost close to 3800. 4800rpm.... By the time you hit boost its almost time to get out of gear.

I'd like to add a point here. When you are giving the car a bootfull you are taking it to redline yes? So it is irrelevant if a big turbo comes on boost later. As long as you have enough revs up your sleeve so that the next gear change will make boost it doesn't matter how small your powerband is. A smaller turbo means that you get boost earlier once. After either turbo is spooled and the revs are up they stay pretty well the same.

A smaller, more efficiently designed turbo on a small motor like an RB will be better than a larger turbo. The smaller turbo will be much, MUCH more suitable as a street, track and drift car. That lag between boost can be the difference in many things. No point having a big turbo making 320rwkw with big lag while a smaller turbo can make the same power with much less lag. That is the point I'm getting at. The OP has a stock block so you will be really pushing the motor with a 35r when something smaller can create big power with less boost.

Believe me, even with full boost by 3600rpm, in 2nd gear if I am down in the rev range it feels like forever waiting for boost to come on and its sometimes embarrassing as you can hear the car wanting to come on but nothing happens. How shit would this be having to wait nearly 1000rpm more.

Probably as shit as it would be when you are both rolling and you both have the right gear selected and the bigger turbo just leaves you for dead for all the extra power it provides. Having a big turbo is not a bad thing. You just have to learn to drive around it. I have owned and rode 2 stroke bikes for over 20 years. You have to have the right gear or you got nothing. But then when its on band no 4 stroke can get near it. You don't chose a 35r to get the same power level as a 30r. How many people drive their car on boost all the time? I hardly ever do. It uses too much fuel. I either grandma drive or I flog the guts out of it.

Smaller turbo's need more boost.

That's up to individual personal taste.

    • Is rebuilding it even a thing? Where would the shop find parts for it? I looked at some off these local online stores for my r34 and suprisingly they had brand new aftetmarket ones for $600-800 I think. I guess r32 might be a bit tougher.
    • I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
    • They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to move wrt the other.
    • I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.
    • Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.
