oil restrictors
 

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.

Re: oil restrictors
 

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

Any help is appreciated.

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

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
