Default lsVTEC, oil feed line question, SEARCHED. thickness -3an????

ok, i used to run a turbo on my b16, now i have created a lsvtec, can i use a smaller feed line then -6an, cuz i have a turbo feed line sitting around that i would like to use but its like -3AN for a turbo its like half the size, will that restrict the flow to my head?
lemme know if i can use the ISH.

i dont think that you would build up enough pressure to supply your vtec. i would just go out and but the -6an line. better safe than sorry

I haven't seen anyone use smaller than -4.The head does use a lot of oil volume with all the controled leaks.You may get a pressure drop because of the small size of the line.I'd make the investment in the -6 and sell off the -3.
