Stealthmode's Oil Restrictor Valve
 

http://www.ecimulti.org/albums/album...0016.sized.jpg

I just wanted to say: Stealthmode for President! This little treasure solved all of my smoking issues. Basically my turbo never smoked until I rebuilt my D16... at that point it had almost double the oil pressure than it used to (from 30-50psi to 50-75psi now). Was causing my turbo so smoke, i ---- u not, like a goddamn coal train.. i was so tired of it.

Anyway I put this lil guy on today, cracked it open 1/4 way and.. no smoke! Whats even better is i can reach the lever from up top if i ever need to make a change.

Needle valve = teh suq

Get a good flowing oil return, and you would never have to use one of those. I've done tons of setups and not once had a problem with to much oil pressure.

???

Re:Stealthmode's Oil Restrictor Valve
 

So did you actually do a presure test to set it at a reasonable level, or did you just slap it on there and hope your turbo is still getting enough oil?

Way to go on the pic. ;)

Re:Stealthmode's Oil Restrictor Valve
 

I slapped it on and just 1/4'd it.. ---- it. I could still see through it and i drove around for 100-120 miles last night with no ill effects.

abaz I beg to differ:

1/2" fuel hose is what that is.

the second 'hose' is the oil temp sender, its just in loom & taped/shrinkwraped up so it looks like a hose :)

Re:Stealthmode's Oil Restrictor Valve
 

I dunno, I had to run a restrictor, but then again I didn't know a goddamn thing about how important it was that I not have my oil return DIRECTLY into the path of a rod counterweight... oh well, this time, crank scraper, windage tray, and I will probably still use a slight restriction just cuz I like a lot of adjustments to ---- with. Makes me feel like I'm doing something.

Re:Stealthmode's Oil Restrictor Valve
 

I have a crank scraper for a 1.5 if you want it.

So basically all the kits that are for sale, greddy/fmax/drag/fullrace/maxrev/edlebrock.. Note how those kits dont have any type of oil restrictor valve, nor have I ever had to use one. Why would this be needed?

Do you have a juiced up oil pump from the factory or what ;)

I use 3/4 on my returns, those little barb fittings that come with the stealthmode and tunertoyz kits are way to small imo.

Re:Stealthmode's Oil Restrictor Valve
 

The world wouldn't be complete without nay sayers. :P

Re:Stealthmode's Oil Restrictor Valve
 

well thats the last of stealthmode ;)

Re:Stealthmode's Oil Restrictor Valve
 

Doubtful...... ::)


They also don't come with any type of REAL fuel management, but that's kinda an important part of a turbo setup. :P

True, but I've just never seen the need for one of these. I mean, I've had some real half assed setups over the years and not one of them ever had the problem with to much oil pressure. Beau even used a big ass 3/8 oil feed line one time and it didnt have problems. Maybe our cars just have really weak oil pumps ;)

dude did projekteg weld up your downpipe? :-X

Re:Stealthmode's Oil Restrictor Valve
 

Don't be happy for the guy that it works, tell him he's a dipshit for thinking he needs something that just took the smoking out of his setup. ???

Re:Stealthmode's Oil Restrictor Valve
 

One thing my new t3/t4b turbo lacks that my old straight t3 had, is a restrictor at the oil inlet. Mines a straight shot to the center section. However I ran both turbos on both motors and it only started smoking after I put the fresh Y7 in. It smoked so ------- bad, It would fill up the cockpit sometimes and almost gag me out of the car. Obviously the t3/t4b smoked the worst of the two snails.

I would guess the people who sell those turbo kits also have appropriatly sized restrictor holes on their turbos?

You know hey, I can't speak for everyone else. I was just posting up that this 10 dollar item basically made me not want to burn my car. It was becoming a real displeasure sitting at work smelling like burnt oil all day because I had to ride in a car full of smoke. Not to mention its really embarassing pulling up to the street races with a 1/4 mile plume of smoke behind you. I just figured I probobly wasnt the only one out there fighting this (obviously not since he sells these things) and that it does indeed work.

If your setup doesnt smoke, more power to ya.

Lol... I think my buddy steve, slow as he is will be with us a while. Good drains are what its all about, but you gotta do what you gotta do if ur shits smoking, Your drain looks good though.
