I have a K26 on a D16y7 and i get a lot of smoking and oil in the housings. I know i need an oil restrictor, and .060" is what a lot of guys use. does it make a difference where i put it, right off the turbo, or off the block fitting? also how do you guys like the adjustable restrictors. I've tried searching, but that did't work.

Thanks,
Mark

 

when i had my 4dr turboed i put it right on the oil inlet of the turbo, worked fine no problems, id just put it there if i were you.

 

did you have a .060" resirtictor or an adjustable restrictor?

Any help is appreciated.

Mark

 

yeah it was .060, the new one i just ordered from stealthmode is adjustable though.

 

how do you like the k26 how the power come on feel like

 

why do you care you'll be in the 9's soon right ?

 

I'm using this one. Costs five bucks.

All I did was drill it out to 1/16

the k26 is great. It's definatelly a major improvement over the 14b i was using. it is hard to find flanges and fittings for it though, so you've got to make your own.

So no one has had a problem with a .060" as far as oil starvation or the placement of the restrictor (turbo or block)?

nope, not for me anyway. the turbo has been on my car for about 2 years now without any problems. I put the restrictor on the turbo

 

cool thanks man, I always like to hear from someone with first hand experience.
