New oil restrictor valve. **What do you think?**
 
Hey guys, I just found a supplier for the oil restrictor valves that some of you have asked me for. It's a 1/8 npt male fitting on one side and 1/8 female on the other. It will work just perfect between the tuner toys block fitting and the oil feed line. I think this ball type valve will work alot better than the needle style ones as well. Add to an oil line kit for $10. Give me some feedback HMT!!! ;)

great Idea Steve!
All guys need then is a cheap ass $14 oil pressure guage from shmucks, and your set.

I was looking at some brass pieces of ----, and it just didn't look like a quality piece. Then I found this one. Once I get enough interest I'm gonna buy a bulk of them. Just gauging interest.
Yeah, Dave. I figure everyone can attach a cheap ass gauge to the other side of it, adjust for the pressure they want, then take thier gauges back and they're done. ;)

That looks idential to the ones I have on my car right now. $10 is a really good price.

It restricts oil. lol.
It's for fine tuning the ideal oil pressure that gets to the turbo. Some have problems with too much pressure to the turbo, and then you have bambooseven that could use it to give the turbo a drop every couple miles so nobody knows his turbo seals are shot. lol

I was thinking the other day that your turbo never really sounded 'right'. I remember a friends Chrysler sounded like that a little bit before it went completely bad. Maybe one of the reasons why your HP#'s kinda sucked. :-\

All I used on my GTX was a stainless braided oil line with crimp fittings. The fittings themselves have about a 3/32 hole and that gave my turbo a good 5-7 PSI of oil...

Re:New oil restrictor valve. **What do you think?**
 
I won't be doing anything but oil lines for awhile. I started getting into the wheels, manifolds, and all that other ----, but I'm just gonna run with oil lines right now. I got up to a constant 20 kits per week with just hmt and ebay. I tried to get into too many things before I found out the maximum potential of oil lines. What I should have (and will do) done is pump the oil lines on a bunch of other sites to see just how many a week I can do.
The only other things I will be offering is stuff on my new website. Selling just oil lines there is stupid, so I'm trying to carry more things on the website. The prices on the website will be higher than I would normally sell here, just to make it worth it if I have to spend time on other sales other than oil lines. Onyx may be taking over all oil line sales in the future. This would allow me the time to offer other products and also not want to kill myself every time I get on the internet. ;) -Steve
