IF it was a daily driver... i'd get rid of it... I mean a GT42R on a STREET CAR... Granted you could just swap turbo's but that would require more work than being worth it (aka swap manifold, wastegate setup, etc...) and I personally think that his GT35R setup was amazing. THE BIGGEST i'd go on a street car is a AMS37R ... and even that woud be pushing it for a street car... I mean whats wrong with 650awhp ... seriosuly ... isn't running 10's fast enough

The problem is when you get into builds that big you always want more.... I loved his vids before but him putting a GT42R on a 2.3l was a waste I think.

The car had no A/C either which didn't help with hot Fla. summers, but of course they said that was a non issue.

I don't think so a 42R is too big for the street.

The 2.3 stroker and the 35r is the ultimate setup IMO. I loved his car then. The gt42r was just something he wanted because he had to compete with high 800-900 hp supras, cobras...etc Sad to see it gone though.

I am plenty happy with my 35r on my 2.3l but I am going to get a 37r to experiment around with and see how it is against the 35r... You can make more power with a 37r but you have a more "usable" powerband with a 35r...

If he wanted to play with those kind of cars then he should had gone with a 2.0 or 2.1 with that 42r and took it to 9500-10500 rpm
