soo, since i have a 13b-re with a large streetport and ported housings... so i will be expelling enough from the exhaust to keep the turbo spooled.
yuuupp it happens....
well youll be one of the first to see it in person

well the GT35R doesnt have alot of lag(depending on the hotside i get). , i have a lot of friends running a similar set up on there fds on stock porting.. and boost lag is minimal.

But that is just my opinion. Your build is coming along very nicely. And yes, unemployment has been eating many project budgets lately.
Keep up the good work.

Use 2 of the synapse BOV's recirculate one on the hotside of your intercooler back into the intake pipe (post filter/ pre-turbo) the first one will help keep the 35r spinning between gears when shifting.
Place the other one on the IC's cold side piping with a small breather filter (this will act as a turbo/ IC bypass) allowing your car to have throttle response damn near that of a N/A motor.
Do that and your boost will come as fast as a smaller turbo, but you'll still have the option to tune up for bigger power down the road.

Hey Jamie it's Mike I met you at the track a few weeks ago at Mazfest (I have silver FD with the blown shock that day at the track). Good luck with the car and setup, not like you need it 
You're going to **** your tight pants when you first get the thing out on the track at speed, these cars are so much fun. I wish I had the $$$ for a single turbo swap right now 
Keep us posted, love the pics.

If that's your perspective. If you are not planning on using the turbo into its real power range, then I see no point in having it. Might as well have a wider powerband with a different turbo, that starts earlier.
But that is just my opinion. Your build is coming along very nicely. And yes, unemployment has been eating many project budgets lately.
Keep up the good work.

i bet.. i kinda jumped the gap, from FC 210hp, to 400+ FD lol...
its gonna be fun to learn how this chasis handles....
yea, im learning, its not sooo cheap to go large single, haha but its well worth it.
will do. haha yea, i love pics.. im a very visual person, so prepare to see plenty of pics soon.

IIRC you posted that you and your friend ported the motor correct? You need to smooth the transition as the apex seal/side seal passes over the exhaust/intake port and touches the closing port edge. If this isn't done it can lead to chipped/worn side seals and worn apex seals.
Not trying to rain on your parade, just making sure

Things are looking great!
I was considering the GT35R, until I called A-spec. I told him my goals were peak hp above 400, but with faster spool, willing to peak at 400, but I had an ego trip on the 400 number (even though it is relatively small compared to some of the monsters running these days.
A-Spec told me that the GT3574R (They said they just came out with a dual ball bearing version of this turbo about 6 months ago now) would spool faster than a gt35r but it would not be able to make as much peak power. However, it should still hit 400-450 depending on total car setup.
So that was my decision to go with a turbo that peaks out lower, for the added benefit of quicker spool... Now if only I could get that kit delivered to me. They are a bit backed up on orders at the moment.
But your build is looking pretty damn nice.
