Default Restrictor questions

I am running a -3an feed line into a vibrant feed flange, will I need to run a restrictor? If so where can I pick one up? Also running -10an drain line.

Is this really honestly necessary? If you don't have any sort of answer for me regarding my question why post here. Waste of mine and your time. I don't understand why people feel the need to troll.

The only person that actually knows what size restrictor is needed on that heap of **** is god. So get on your knees and start asking or hope some other dipstick that's running one comes along...

It's all this cheap eGay crap that's wrecking the scene...

I've read if you actually rebuild them that they aren't too bad. This was given to me new from my brother and not all of us have $1000 to spend on a turbo. I'm in the process of saving up for a better one. This is the one I have to run right now. I've taken it apart and rebuilt it. I've fully built my motor and everything. Thanks for all the help you guys have been! If you've got a gt35r or precision you would like to give me go for it. If not I've got this rebuilt Emusa to run. Hey at least it's balanced!

Well, if its at least balanced, then it must be good right?

Listen. Only General oil pressure ranges at the oil feed line are going to determine what size restrictor is needed (if one is needed.) You have to ask another EMUSA owner with a similar engine platform what they decided to chance with. Since few, if any at all exist on this forum, again.. you may need to resort to prayer in order to find out.

Is that better? Or did you need some sort of hug...

The purpose of making this thread was to find someone with a similar set up to get info from. The at least it's balanced was a sarcastic comment. I've never seen flaming like this on Honda-tech which is why when I have a question I generally come here. Guess I will looks else where for help. Thanks again. I'd prefer a cookie than a hug thanks.

It happens all the time, and 9/10 it's about eBay crap. You eBay lot need to start your own forum. You could call it "Honda-Wreck.com" . That way when we start threads on your forum you can attack us haha. Search through the threads on page 1 and you'll see for your self.
