just want to know where to put the oil restrictor: on the turbo or on the engine. i know i should just use a -3 line and fittings but i already have all the stuff needed to use a -4 line... i filled one of the fittings and drilled it to a smaller size... just not sure if putting it on the engine is the same as on the turbo? any info would be great, and yes i did search ( oil restrictor,, oil feed line, oil line, restrictor) if you know of another post please link it.......

 

mine is on the turbo, I have no knowledge of them on the engine tho so I can't compare.

 

I was thinking about this yesterday, oddly enough. A restrictor on the engine will clean up your setup, as well as allow a steady flow into the turbo. A restrictor on the turbo will shoot the oil directly onto the shaft, which might be better. If it was watercooled too, it probably wouldn't matter, but oilcooled-only, I'd go with the restrictor on the block.

 

you can pretty much put it wherever you want....i have two oil lines, and it goes between those two...as does my oil pressure sender.

 

mid-day bump for any more thoughts......

 

what kind of pressure (psi) are you running to the turbo?

 

i run 10 psi to the turbo at idle (warm)

and abour 35 at 4000 rpms...., 40 or redlined.

 

where can you buy oil restrictors at?
