you don't need one as long as you have a -3an line. i have 50k miles on my sc34 with no issues.

for a honda -3AN is standard - no restrictor as long as you have no oil system modifications

Not the best idea, but it is best to check your oil pressure to be sure

I'm running mine (EDIT: clarifying that it's an SC6152sp) with a -4 feed from the block (no restictor) and a -10 return line. It's a Neon though, so oil pressure may be lower than a Honda from the sounds of it.

Anyway, I spoke with a guy from Precision about this, and he is the one who told me to run a -4 (instead of the -3 I had) from the block where it is as close as possible to full oil pressure.

It has been running great for about a year this way so far.

-4 AN feed off the an GE oil filter adapter. -10 AN return.

No restrictor, no problems... my motor sees plenty of oil pressure too.
