i need to find an oil restrictor for my turbo. i had it rebuilt once and dont want to have do it again. my oil pressure is vary hi. i had to plug my oil squirters so that bumped it up. does anyone know where i can get one? im going to the dyno friday.

 

i have two solutions for you...

1. Take the existing oil fitting out of the turbo and weld the orifice that is IN the turbo closed, so spot weld it so its closed off...Make sure u dont weld over any threads. Then buff it so its a flat surface then drill a 1/16 hole through it very carefully with a drill. That 1/16 bit is frail, so go slow! Just put the fitting in a Vice to hold it still while drilling, make sure to go in as straight as possible. 1/16 is .0625 hole. I did this and it cured all my blow turbo problems.! HTH FREE FIX! NO MONEY!

2. Go here, get this and u spend money... http://www.atpturbo.com/Mercha...L-022

 

thanks, anyone else

 

The simplest solution is to take a 1/8 NPT allen-head pipe plug (cost a quarter at NAPA), drill a small hole in it (I used a 1mm bit) and thread that into the oil take-off fitting. You should be able to thread it in far enough so that the NPT-AN adapter can still be threaded in on top of it.

Alternatively, fill the NPT-AN adapter with JB-Weld and then drill out a small hole.

 

you can get the oil restricter from tuner toys

 

just curious what the ill effects are of having too high of oil pressure? I would guess that blowing the seals could be one of the possibilities, but not sure if it is limited to affecting the turbo

at 80lbs of oil pressure at ilde it will blow the seal right out. oil in the exhaust and into intercooler. last time it made it to the bov.

 

anyone else have any ideas.....

please dont do this, this will get metal shavings in your turbo. definately dont do that. just buy the fitting

 

whatever geoff, just clean the fitting in a brake cleaner tub. i have had mine like this for over a year. thanks for that reply,

Dome, i was wrong, i was lying, i was trying to make u blow ur car and turbo up. dont do this, it has worked and been fine on my car and many others.

im dumb

bye

sellin my turbo kit off and not ordering my cage for my DA integra now

 

There is a lack in the market for oil restrictors for newer turbos. If you buy a new turbo chances are you'll get a 1/4NPT oil line. As far as I know no body makes these, I had to custom make one using an oil restrictor for a piece of hydraulic equipment and then weld that into an adapter.

Basiclly, somebody needs to start making 1/4NPT oil restrictors.

hahahahahahahahhahaha

some people.

 

Don't **** with the turbo, just modify the fitting, you can just as easily weld the fitting shut and drill the orifice on it rather than the turbo itself.

You can also buy an adaptor fitting that is already closed off, just drill whatever size hole you want.

You just have to do some hunting, check out the Parker website, and Swagelok website, someone also mentioned that someone already has restrictors made (why re-invent the wheel if you don't have to)

 

Here autometer sells a restrictorhttp://hp.autometer.com/produc....html

**** this, read my thread more carefully,weld the fitting on the turbo side, as in, the end of the fitting that GOES into the turbo
