adjusting oil pressure
 
i need to lower my oil pressure and i was wondering what everyone uses to control the pressure to the turbo.

i have recently rebuilt my t3 and i want to take every precaution that i don't blow it again.


if anyone has any suggestions that would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using one of Stealhmode's ball valves......works flawlessly. I'd recommend an oil pressure gauge to help adjust so you don't end up starving the turbo. Option 2 is get a restrictor.

i'm running a 87' 300zx t3 turbo. never been rebuilt. no oil pressure adjusting valve, just a -4an steel braided line. hard brake line will work good too. aslong as it's -4an. the small diameter keeps the pressure adequate. i've been boosted 4 months now, no oil getting past the seals issues.
