WOW good find, what size do we wanna drill that?

 

i'm in, f-corpret, help out the little guy.

 

Whats the latest? If we can't get enough people I'll go ahead and buy a restrictor elsewhere. I'm needing one within the next couple of weeks

 

He is drilling and tapping the restrictors this week and we should be able to start ordering monday.

You can easily drill it to whatever size you want.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Got a part number for the -3an version for all us guys running the correct size oil feed?

 

I don't see the point of these. Why not just run a smaller feed line? I am also wondering why the sudden urge to use these? I mean there are many people running 3+ year old setups with out them and no problems. Does it have to do with the new Honda oil filters? Are they actually going to increase oil pressure that much? Sorry so many questions but it kinda feels like a HT bandwagon sale is all.

I should start selling this stuff
honestly though, seems like 3an(3/16" ID) oil line hasn't caused any blown seals. Adding a restrictor doesn't hurt either.

You could use the fitting off the top of a NOS Fogger nozzle 1/8ntp and -3an tread and just put a nitrous jet in to restrict the flow, and there cheep and you get them in all sizes.

 

is the greddy a -3an fitting or -4an fitting

 

It is just one more thing to help keep the turbo in better condition longer. It is basically just a litle bit of insurance for an expensive part of an engine. if people don't want them, that is fine, but I will use one to help protect my investment.

 

i want one but i need to find out the size of my line

 

Your line size will not matter with this fitting. It has 1/8 threads to screw into the turbo and then female 1/8 threads so you can just screw your adapter into the restrictor and connect your feed line. it is more universal than the other adapters posted.

 

so i can pick up that autometer one and just drill it out????

what should i drill it out too

I believe anywhere from .050" to .065" It would be best to measure oil pressure, and redrill if necessary.

I think the restrictors being made have a .060 hole.

 

what does this do and why do you need it?

 

It helps to keep the pressure down on the oil feed, which will help the turbo seals.

 

Talked to the guy about the restrictors and they are done, but he is at SEMA this week. He said I can post his info on sunday so we can start order monday.

 

some turbos have restrictors built in... check for this before you waste time and cash.

 

im interested in this restrictor

Here's what I'm going to be putting on today. Hopefully it will cure my excessive oil burning at high r's. It's a .055 NOS jet and fitting. My -3an line will thread right onto this:

 

is this still available?? i need one.

I'm with you on this. I've posted before when these were for sale and no one really responded to me. I understand that lowering the pressure to the turbo is better, but what do these restrictors restrict to?? From 70 psi WOT to 50 psi WOT with the restrictor? Someone has to run a oil pressure gauge AFTER the restrictor to see just what it's doing. I can't believe no one has asked this before. It seems like everything on here analyzes stuff to death, why doesn't someone actually test one of these restrictors out with a gauge?!?

 

i dont get why people with -3an lines are even asking about this... if you are running -3 an lines which is the corect feed line size then you DO NOT need these little restrictors... unless im missing something and someone wants to let me know about it
