Will this oil restrictor work for a 14b turbo? Thanks.

Would also like to know what the ideal hole size is for one of these restrictors.

 

When I first turbo'd my d16, I had oil blowing past the seals with a -4 line. Replaced it with a -3 line and problem solved. Although...if you're going to use that restrictor (and it looks reeeeeeally small) I'd buy one from somewhere else....$14 seems like a rip off. I think you can get those from Sunpro or Autometer alot cheaper....it's a standard fitting made of brass for goodness sake

 

Hmm, there is also another guy selling an oil filter to go into my -4an line, he said that would decrease my oil pressure. But I also hear of alot more people switching to -3an and solving their problem. If I were to switch to a -3an I would have to change my block adapter and turbo adapter wouldnt I?

 

You are best off using a -3 feed line so you don't need the restrictor band aid.

 

Thats kinda what I was thinking. I am using a Stealthmode oil line kit, so what else will I need to switch to -3an? Will I have to change the block adapter and turbo adapter?

 

I would just change to a -3an line. I have yet to see a real analysis of what those oil restrictors actually do, like a pressure test before and after the restrictor. Who knows how it is affecting the pressure.

 

Well its obvious it would decrease the flow of oil volume. But whether its too much of a decrease or not, thats my question.

 

Forget the restrictor.

What I need to know is if I need to change the fittings on my block and turbo in order to accept the new -3an line. And if so, which in particular will I need?

 

Up.
