Is it safe to run a -3 oil feed on a gt 40r? thanks

 

i've never seen a 3 an on bigger turbos, i used to run a 4 an on m sc61 without any problems, i would use a 4 an on that turbo, i've seen a 6 an some setups.

what are you talking about?


-3 is fine..... ball bearing turbos use alot less oil then journal bearing turbos...you can run -4 with a restrictor fitting even with -3 you should run a restrictor.

 

-3 will work just fine, im using a -4 but I have a restrictor with a .030 hole in it. So thats all the oil that the turbo gets, what ever it goes through that .030 hole.

 

I'm running a -3 on mine.

 

thanks. I didnt really want to change the fitting on the back of the block from the previous turbo.

 

i had the same question about the feed line on the gt40r, so the 3-an is fine right? but what about the restrictor i have a .35 on my old gt35r would that be alright to use?

 

I ran a -3 on my GT4088R no problems at all.
