with my new build on the first start up my oil pressure to the turbo was at 80psi after the restrictor? is that to much? should i get a new restrictor? or is my gauge screwed up? its an autometer mechanical gauge. thanks

how long did you wait after start up? my gauge reads 80psi till it warms up then it drops to 30psi

 

Do SC61s generally like a restrictor, or not?

Thanks!

 

-3 no restricor here... 80 when cold, 15 when warm at idle.

No problems at all

Excellent, thanks!

Hey, while I've got you, how about a couple of follow-up questions?:

1) Is that oil feed hole on the SC61 a 1/8" NPT hole?

2) All of the 1 foot long oil feed lines I see are -4. Where is a good place to get a -3 line?

Thanks again!

 

PM Flamenco-T..he will have what you need.

 

Okay, thanks!

I just don't have the time anymore to go through a whole symposium like I used to. In your case, If this is indeed a Honda block that you're running, NO an oil restrictor is not necessary for a -3AN line that comes from the oil sender to the turbo itself. the pressure at the line would be about 30psi or so consistently. It will be a different pressure reading at the block itself, then at the end of the feed line. I believe that the SC61 with the p-trim wheel (6169?) uses a 1/4NPT fitting, so you should be pretty good.</TD></TR></TABLE>

What TheShodan has to say about using restrictors with an sc61, id take his word

 

except that the feed fitting is 1/8 NPT, Not 1/4.

Yes he was saying for the SC6169, mine also has the 1/8npt, SC6152SP
