is an A/R .48 M24 a decent t3?t4 turbo??

t25

everyone on this forum seems to love the gt25... is it better then the t3/t4?

just more ready made solutions for the t25

Is that spacer a one of piece you had made locally? I'm assuming so considering the drawing and quality of the piece.


The GT25 and T3/T4 are totally different beasts. GT25 is a fast spooling lower HP turbo while the T3/T4 is a slow spooling powerhouse.

Braineack... your picture didnt show
cjernigan, I made it, machine shop. and my turbo spools very quickly, almost no lag at gets right to 15psi almost instantly im at my set boost by 4000rpm 18psi

not really sure what kind of suspension i have.. help..? and is it any good? it feels like it works pretty well on the track!

Alright guys Im still in the process of doing my re-route.. I am trying to make a re-route where you can re-use all stock parts... so far the only non stock parts are a spacer i made and a plate. and a turbo tim thermostat.. looks like i need one piece of flex hose to be done!!! Utilizing all stock parts!!

Looks like GAB shocks and Racing beat springs. I personally have never heard of GABS, but I pulled this bit of info on them off m.net.

GAB is the only manufacturer to make a shock that adjusts for both rebound and jounce. As well, their 8 way adjustables have a range that is just a tad stiffer than stock to making you wonder if the shocks are actually moving at all and aren't just red chucks of aluminum stuffed into the cavity. The adjustment can be done while the car is sitting in a parking lot with no tools at all, the knobs are just infront of the lower pickup points. The major limitations of GAB are two fold, their price (close to $600+ retail) and the lack of availability. (only available though a company called Wingz in the Bay Area (510) California)

This is from back in 95' mind you, so things have changed a bit since then.

Vash-

I had GAB on an old subaru track car. They were awesome. But spendy. Rebuilds were a pain too.

So would you say they are a good shock for a race car? From Vash it sounds like they are better for street use..? Once again this is mainly a track car for me so if i can get the car to stick MORE like glue, I would LOVE it.

Ah, I was wondering what you were doing for thermostat. I didn't see a lip machined into the spacer to allow for it... mine is clamped in there atm... i do NOT trust it... (mine).

Maybe external thermostat will be a simpler format for me.

Are there pics/prices for Tims external housing?

Oh.. and how did you align the cams without the back plate? Just marked and clamped in place prior? I fought getting them setup with the black back plate... then just said fug it... and tossed it back on.

Turbo Tim made me a external thermostat housing with a High Flow 180* sensor and I drilled 2 1/8" holes in it to allow for more flow. Im really doing a serious custom job... But it sure looks to be promising!!! I am taking the turbo water return line and routing that through the Heater core! then using that spacer I made to run the heater return line back into the system. And I am machining the thermostat housing to retain the "green" temp sensor.

yeah guy, where is your cam gear backing plate?

WTF??? (between rad. and fans)

Attachment 213320

Cheap DIY ducting. Force all air through fans instead of around the edges there.

Looks functional, nice build up.

my concern would be :

how much ran down?
what happens if one of the fans needs replacing?

It is filler that is used around heat... good to 600* before it ignites :)

and the cam gear backing plate is off because I made that plate.. and i wanted people to see what I made. I readjusted the cams afterwards and have been buttoning up the engine compartment slowly but surely

none ran down. and it is very easy to remove... for instance i just removed the power steering... and you all know about the dumb line that runs to the front of the car.. well I used that stuff to block off the air on the bumper too. So that line had that stuff on it and it was also stuck to the tin. I pried it off with the force of a 2yr old with a flat head.

as for it running down, when you stray it it immediately expands and is heat resistant. Available at Home Depot! replacing the fan is not a problem... I think im going to put an oil cooler right infront of the fan on the right in that pic.

Whats with all that yellow glue stuff?

OH MY GOODNESS, HE JUST GOT DONE EXPLAINING IT!! OPEN YOUR EYES AND READ!!

Don't you hate it when that dip stick breaks? lolz!
