just got my turbo rebuilt, they said the -3 line was to small I needed a -4. Anyone have thoughts on this?

 

its to small i have gone thru 4 turbo in 8 months

 

-3 is fine ask Flamenco-t and many others -3 is optimum choice for turbos

 

-3 is perfect.

 

i use -12...... depends on what kind of power you plan to make

I understand the -3 seems to be the right size for hondas..........but why? I have a 3-3 but i want to know why is it so perfect. Don't want to much flow?

 

-3 is fine..

we deal with high oil pressure 50-60. that couldl be the cause of blowing seals, 50psi is pushing a turbo seal.

with pressure that high it shoots a lot of oil through.

 

they said they won't warranty it if I don't chance the feed size, should I call and tell them honda makes high oil pressure??

 

I have been using -3AN on all my setup and I have had a lot of customers with my feed line kit and I have not heard of any problem as of yet. But yeah honda have a constant high pressure from the block and I don't foresee any problem with a -3An line. I do have a few customers who came to me with a blown turbo using -4AN line and I ended up replacing them with -3AN lines.

thanks stan

 

So is 4-AN to big then ??? IM building my own kit and thats what i got was a 4-An let me know PLease

 

i used a -3an from the block to a tee fitting from there i used another -3an line to the turbo and blew my turbo at high rpms. changed to a -4 from the tee and everything's been fine since.

 

o yea...... sorry..... it was a long day yesterday

 

I use -3 on all the kits i build. If you are having problems then it's most likely a problem on the return side of things. Either not completely gravity fed or a kink in the hose. -3 line is NOT the problem...

 

-3 is the recommended size for a oil feed line

 

thanks guys, I'm running the 3 and I have the braided -10 return line, it had a slight kink where it hit the crossmember ( CRX) so I redid it so it didn't touch. Started the car up tonight and works great. That and my JDM Blitz super sound BOV and the damn car sounds like a Supra! lol
