Best daily driver setup

[1990AWD]

I'm curious what your favourite daily driver set-up would be for a 1g 6-bolt DSM.

 

[All_Boost16G]

I personally love my 16g for a daily driver.

 

[BoostFrenzy]

In reality, there is no such thing as a general daily driver. There are people that drive their bone stock ones everyday. But there is also people who have fully built 35R setups running E85 as their daily driver.

So the question isn't what parts are good for one, but what do you want your daily to do? Do you want it to: spool fast, hit hard, make a bazillion HP, get good gas mileage, not break, etc. Just say what you would want it to be and then it will be a lot easier. If not, then this thread will just fill up with "IMO" and stuff.

I loved my E316g on a SMIC and I'm sure I'll love my 30R on a ETS FMIC too. It's all about personal preference.

im currently wondering this same thing as well. Im thinking e316g with 650 injectors and safc II. Complimented with 3inch turbo back and 190 fuel pump. Later added a FMIC. Whatcha guys think as this for a DD

 

[->PrOjEcTGS<-]

IMO...





<------------------- Best DD.

 

[gorf]

depends on how much HP you think you need and how much lag you are willing to put up with.....

E316G is probably the most capable turbo with the lease lag of any turbo for our cars. With a good tune and supporting mods people have gotten 400 hp from them...

Small 16g, ebay fmic, fuel mods, 2g mas.

well I love my 60 trim, pump 91 @ 30 psi. . . . so as you can see everyone has personal preference bro. theree is no wong answer, some are just a little off the wall. . .

 

[kthackst]

Evo 3 16G all the way. It makes enough power to push you in your seat but yet it spools quick enough to be good from stoplight to stoplight. It covers a very good range of power without being a downright monster.

I loved the E316G turbo on the streets but after driving in a friend's 50 trim setup I would much rather run that on the streets because you can still maintain a fairly reliable setup with a 50 trim and if they are tuned good they can spool almost just as fast as an 16G.

1G 6 Bolt NA.


Best DD evar.

 

[lacroixdp]

I've never been brave enough to DD a DSM If I was going to though, I'd probably go with a EIII 16G.

GT35R with a full cage in it and stripped interior

^ Agree

With that being said, IMO, my car is the best daily driver....well, an awd version.

 

[audiomaster]

I think a daily driver needs to be reliable and never break. This is tough to do after you start modding, especially because once you start modding you just catch some sort of DSMease and can't stop making it better. I DD mine (well once I get it back from getting the effing clutch fixed . . .) and its no where near stock.

 

[untouchablecc]

Im still trying to figure that out so when you get it down let me know.

That sounds like what he wants, everyones opinion on what there favorite DD set up is, not what you think he should use for his DD

 

[brownfinger]

1G 6 Bolt NA.


Best DD evar.

You could just be a NA ####y like me and lofty. They really do never break (kind-of).

But then again, this sounds like a no-brainer, too. I'm just waiting for the right low-mile, $3,000, un-modified, rust-free 1Gb craigslister to roll within striking distance!

 

[Calan]

IMO - The best setup will be whatever my build ends up as.

Everyone else's opinion is wrong.

 

[90tsitalonfwd]

my dd setup is a 50trim 880injectors wally255 comp272lift cams huge fmic and a fully built .20over 6bolt block and tons more... and at 15psi it is very reliable i drive it everyday!!!! besides from the damn tranny problems haha

how much HP you think you need and how much lag you are willing to put up with.....


that is basically it.

Wait on 2nd thought, a DD is how much money you can throw at it and how hard you can beat on it,
yeah that sums it up!

 

[rush2252]

or you can be a newb and go buy the most expensive parts and still scratch your head when your running 15s.

The best thing to do is research. Find a good combination and a good TUNE. Its about the TUNE. There is a member who broke into 11s on a 14b. Ive seen other members there with holsets. Ive also seen a member running a T28 into the mid 15s.

x2 on the tune!!!!

 

[PRJTstealth]

i run a 50 trim @ 21psi and its more like a 4 day a week car only becaue i dont go out in the rain with it and stuff. but i love the 50 trim. not too much lag and a good amount of power is possible.
