Default to much oil!!!!!!! ARG

k so just to start off, i decided to turbo my suzuki katana 600. Basicly everythings done, went with a KKK KP31 turbo from a smart car, so go out the next day, oil just everywhere, start it up. Oil spraying everywhere, in the end just picked up another one my buddy had for 100$. redid all the fab, start it. works great. decided to rev it. hit about 5k. oil starts coming out... basicly in the end i need to cut the oil press./flow down.... what size restrictor should i use?

journal bearing turbo use a 0.060" orifice.
roller bearing turbo use a 0.035" orifice.

make sure your turbo drain is gravity feeding otherwise you will need a scavenge pump. this will also cause excess oil leaking/burning from the turbo.

there all over ebay. a .060" orifice should drop the oil pressure to ~15-25 psi.

if its a journal bearing turbo use a flange with an orifice of 0.060". ive built many turbo cars and bikes and i always use a 0.060" orifice and have never had an issue.
