I am not trying to be a s,art *** but it could hurt if his motor has lower than normal oil pressure right?
I was told by precision to use a 3 an with no restrictor on my b16 with an sc61?

Re: Oil Restrictor (littletriad)
Honda motors already have pretty high oil pressure when compaired to other cars. I would run one, cheap insurance IMO. Ive never heard of a restrictor being the cause of a turbo that got trashed due to lack of oil. I run a Function 7 one and not a problem at all....

here's your answer:
email some1 abt this very same question to use on my DBB GT35R and this was the response:
You have to determine if you even need a restrictor. Generally, the
restrictor is required if your engine runs very high oil pressures (e.g.
above 75 psi) and or idles high (over 45 psi). If this is the case, the
excess oil pressure can leak past the seals under certain operating
conditions.
You must know your oil pressures before and after adding the restrictor to
ensure you get enough oil to the turbo.
If you're unsure, don't do a restrictor. Worse case scenario is if you run
without one, find out you have an oil leak, you can always add one and the
problem goes away. No harm done. Most likely, you'll run without one and
never notice an issue.
