Question about GT35R Kits

Im having a tough time deciding on what to do..I removed my stock turbo's, blocked off the emmisions, bought a microtech lt-8, and fixed some other items...

Im looking into getting a single turbo perferably a gt35r since i've read about them and they seem to be great for the 13b

I do have a mild streetport....is the rx7store's GT35 kit great? Anyone have any word on it..or better yet have the kit themselves?...also which is better? the T4 or T3...i would think the t4 would be..but the t3 is worth more?

Thanks for the input guys.

Depends on what you're looking for - street, strip, etc.

A big turbo (should) give a great top end but there will be no bottom and vice versa. A/R ratio is important. I'm not sure what the a/r ratio for the T3 and T4s are.

My single has a 0.70 which gives good spool up at about 4k but does run out of steam at about 7 - 7.5k. It is supposed to be good for about 450 hp which is good enough (for now).

I'm biased, but I'd look into either an A-spec 35R kit or the Gotham Racing GR63 kit.

You don't have to worry about the compressor A/R (the 0.70 mentioned earlier), this is going to be the same for all 35R variant compressors. The exhaust A/R is what you want to look at, there are typically a bunch of choices, ie 0.96, 1.0, 1.06, 1.15 etc. You're basically trading quick spool for increased top end power.

t3 worth more? How do you figure? Go with a T4 turbine flange.
