Gonna make oil restrictor. Size????
 

gonna make an oil restrictor tonight, need to know what size i should drill the hole. i tried to search, but didnt find ----.
i thought i read before that 1/16 is too small?

Re: Gonna make oil restrictor. Size????
 

No. 1/16th is fine. Been there done that.

1/16 for me too

Re: Gonna make oil restrictor. Size????
 

i'm going to try making one tonight too, from a thin piece of sheet metal.. since i run a -4 AN line with a flange, i figure i'll just copy the flange and put a 1/6th hole in it and roll :3

Last restrictor I made, I took the fitting going into the turbo (small 16g), blocked off one end with a small machine screw (fitting out of the turbo obviously) and filled it full of soldier. Once it hardened, I drilled my 1/16th hole and slapped it on there. Works great. :6

i would worry about high EGT's melting the solder into my turbine :l

Re: Gonna make oil restrictor. Size????
 

i am gonna use the stock bolt for the banjo fitting and fill/weld the bottom of it closed then grind it flat and dril a 1/16 hole in it chop off that end with a hack saw and thread it down into the oil inlet before my fitting. we'll see how it works

That is similiar to how Blaast does the ones he sells with his turbos. Seems to work great.

It wont melt for the same reason the your aluminum cylinder head doesnt melt. Thermal ------- transfer.

And how in the hell is soldier going to get on your turbine? :1

WTF this is HMT. Go get some pop rivets from the shop. Pop them. Bam, instant oil restrictor. Drop it in by the fitting and put the AN line on.

I just picked up one of these. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/F7-T3...mZ350100062952
It's an oil inlet with a restrictor built into it.

Re: Gonna make oil restrictor. Size????
 

set screw with 1/16th hole in it.

DEFINITELY 2" ID steel tube for a "restrictor" !! Trust me.

OFF TOPIC..

but here it goes

just boosted my b20 vtack last night.... is it cool to run a #3 line from the block to the turbo with no restrictor i know i read somewhere its ok but just want to see what you guys think, plus i noticed my max oil pressure dropped from 5.4 to 5.2 kg/cm thats little over 75 psi or so

let the flaming begin O0

Re: Gonna make oil restrictor. Size????
 

Running a brand new turbo you wont have any problems. Anything thats seen some miles will start smoking without a restrictor. I drunk and dont feel like explaining it so











ok.

Re: Gonna make oil restrictor. Size????
 

Fixed it for you.

No flames from me dude, you are right on track to doing things properly :-)
