So are 14bs ball bearing turbos? i know its a noob question but i heard its not to good to put an oil restricter on a turbo if its not ball bearing? any other ideas that might help me out? i was thinking about just trying to buy a new 14b or stepping it up some an getting a t3 super 60? what do you guys think

14b's are a normal sleeve journal bearing, but are supposed to have 360* thrust bearings.

so what your saying is a restricter wouldn be such a bad idea?

Re: 14b setup, White Smoke and oil in turbo inlet? kinda a noob....help
 

A restrictor would be a very good idea. I run one on all my turbos, including 14b's. Take into account a 14b was supplied oil from the head of the 4g63t's where they never saw over 45psi of oil pressure (according to dsm'rs), not to mention they had a thin line running to them stock.

im doubting it needs a restrictor, how many miles are on this turbo?
is this oil also in your intake tubes after the turbo?
if so your turbo needs a rebuild.

LOL yeah we're all wrong here @ HMT. 14b's need restrictors. There are a million stories about smoke going away once a restrictor is installed on here.

The ball bearing turbo's are the ones you can do withouth the restrictor on. If you don't use a restrictor you are going to push oil through your seals because they aren't meant to hold that kind of pressure. I tore up a super60 by not running a restrictor. The shaft play ended up being about an inch after I pulled i9t off and the cold side turbine was a different trim afterwards haha.

Yep, sleeve bearign and every MHI turbo I've pulled apart has a 360 degree thrust bearing.
