OIL FEED RESTRICTOR HELP !
 
I've been reading alot into these oil restrictor's in the FAQ section and I"m woundering if any of your other honda owners out there are using them. I've read of soom people saying without it that they have oil leaking into the turbo exhaust and some even saying when their BOV went off if was blowing oil out of it.Do I need to put on in. I believe the oil feed line on my turbo has a -4an fitting so I take it thats the line size. Are any of you guys out there not using a restrictor having problems like this. Also if I do where and what kind of restrictor do I need and where can I get it. Thanks

I am planning on trying the same thing out. I have 4an lines and have been getting oil dumping into the compressor side only at high RPM. Gonna take a good look at the return line first (possible simple restriction problem), but plan on hitting up the local hydraulics/diesel shop for some AN fittings. Im just gonna cut the hose and splice in some 3an (or whatever looks good) fittings.

So are you just going to goto a smaller size line for the feed or actually put in a restrictor. I mean who it hurt just to put it in anyway. Cause like you said I really hear about it happening at high RPM's cause the pressure is so much that it can't drain fast enough and it has no where else to go but out thre the seals. I'm trying to imagine what you're talking about. or do you mean your gonna have 4an convert to 3an and then back to 4an for the feed just basicly going from big to small to big. Thanks for your help I just don't want to f*** up my turbo or see smoke or oil and get worried. Thanks again though
