hey guys, looking to see who hasa gt35r + 6 speed, and how it drives. i know the 6 speeds are notoriously weak, thats not a concern of mine really as ill be at or under 450wtq. more so interested in the drivability, and how well the short ratio gearing is compared to a larger turbo such as a gt35r (which has the 1.06 hotside), please chime in guys

Dunno about driveability, but i think people add a cooler and pump to the 6speed to help beef it up a bit. I know they suffer from heat issues due to less fluid.

I have one on E85 and stock cams. the drivability isn't bad at all. ooo yah, its my daily. Heres a link...

how do you like that turbo as a daily? im looking at one with that turbo but i dont want a laggy boring car around town

its going to be laggy to a certain extent, I mean it is a 1.06 hotside gt35 turbo. its not going to have the spool of stock but they arent that bad as far as lag goes. also has to do with driving style/ability and other mods.

aside from the 6spd issue, you should love that car gl

thanks for the input. im going to test drive it this week to see for myself. i do a lot of around town driving so i guess we'll see how it goes

Huh?

Manual Transmission, 5 SPD - W5M51..........4.7 pints
Manual Transmission, 6 SPD - W6MAA..........6 pints

the 6-speed does have smaller gears in 4/5 (6) and they are weaker. Cooling is an issue. But it's not due to fluid amounts.

I honestly think that many failures are do to removal of the OE cooling of the transmission via the undertray. Removal or replacement of the undertray without consideration for transmission/TC cooling is a bad move.

OP, I have a 6-speed at around 390 awhp or so on E85. It's doing fine. I'm not where near the power you will be putting down. But, I think if you keep the transmission cool, via the stock solution or an aftermarket heat exchanger, you'll be fine.

not bad at all, but hes running a .63 hotside, and the 1.06 is considerably larger. the "custom" boost curve looks fun though, but will my setup be laggier than his?

My guess is that its gonna be a bit laggier. Is there a reason why you want such a big exhaust housing?

bought a 35r, and it came with both a .63 and a 1.06 housing. would it be better to just use the .63? i hear theres surging problems with that housing, but this dyno graph is showing me different
