On my old setup, which was a drag gen III for a b16, I kept my oil line a splitter for the back of the block. My question is, I am now doing a sohc with a t3 .42/.48. It is the saab turbo. will the oil line that came with that kit supply to much to this old turbo, or do i need to use a restrictor? I am not good with npt lingo or line sizes, so don't ask how big it is. But i am sure somebody knows what sixe of line they supplied ?

 

tuner toys sells the stealthmode kit. its everything you need, and you wont be disappointed. its well worth the money. of all the ghetto ---- i did on my car, the oil line i did not ---- around with.

 

you should not need a restrictor. feed line size makes little difference.

by the way frank, nice shameless plug for steve, had nothing to do with this guys question.

 

obvesiouly this guy doesnt really know what hes doing with oil lines. no need to research it with a basic hmt kit, if he gets the stealthmode kit, it has everything he needs, and it works perfectly.

if he were doing some crazy hotsex ----, i would tell him different, but hes not. but at the same time, if he were, he should know these kind of things.

so no shameless plug, just a good opinion.

 

Stealth's lines are -4an right? I think that is the same size as the Drag lines...

Personally, I prefer using -3an feed lines and no restrictor.

 

Yeah, they are -4an. I found a website that has all the kit info. This will be my second FI honda, but is hardly my first modded honda. I had 3 na b series motors prior to going back to a d series.
My question was more towards the turbo itself, and whether a -4an line will suuply too much oil and cause the seals to go bad sooner? Or do i just need a decent size return?

 

im pretty sure u'll need a restrictor on that

 

If the drain line is working properly and the turbo is in good shape, you won't need a restrictor valve and a -4 feedline will be fine.
