Re: What Oil Restrictor do I need?
 

Justin at PTE also said the same thing. Journal bearing turbos love oil, and do not need a restrictor. BB turbo's need a restrictor. I feed my 67 from my oil filter housing with a -4 line with no restrictor, my oil return line is a -10 (keep in mind my center section is vertical as well and not at all at a angle). I have never had a problem with my turbo since changing to this setup suggested by PTE.

Beat me to it.

Re: What Oil Restrictor do I need?
 

Would it not still apply to any material state? A venturi would affect a gas the same as it would a liquid.

Re: What Oil Restrictor do I need?
 

How big was the orifice of the oil inlet, at the turbo?

Re: What Oil Restrictor do I need?
 

-4.... 1/8th npt. just like most turbo's

that last one is for you sheides. it states that it should see a maximum of 70psi on a fp green on a EVO. not that cam's car is an evo but they share the same center section and bearings and seals.

Re: What Oil Restrictor do I need?
 

Wrong. FP does not use Mitsu center sections.

Re: What Oil Restrictor do I need?
 

DSMs and Evos don't come with oil restrictors yet their stock turbos don't have an issue.

Re: What Oil Restrictor do I need?
 

This is where the problem lies, misinformation

Actually they do, its at the inlet of the turbo, its just not inline on the oil feed line.

well i cant find the link to the green, but the red is made with a garrett compressor wheel and a mitsubishi center section and exhaust wheel. so kracka i dont know what you know, but fp must be wrong.

Re: What Oil Restrictor do I need?
 

Call FP if you want. None of their stockframe Evo turbos use genuine Mitsu center sections.

Anyways, back to the topic at hand: Why does every turbo you touch turn to junk within miles? Or wait, you don't offer turbo rebuilding services, right?

Re: What Oil Restrictor do I need?
 

already did, and yes their "dsm" turbos do. this whole discussion is about a 2g with oiling problems i could care less about evo turbos.

Re: What Oil Restrictor do I need?
 

Then why did you bring the topic of Evo turbos up?

Re: What Oil Restrictor do I need?
 

because of the oil pressure to the turbos. nobody has a link to overoiling, only an evo link.

Re: What Oil Restrictor do I need?
 

What does the oiling requirements of a non-Mitsu center section Evo turbo have to do with a 20G on a DSM?

Re: What Oil Restrictor do I need?
 

Not so much. Gases are compressible; liquids are not.

Re: What Oil Restrictor do I need?
 

wanna clean up the thread so we can get his problem solved?

His questions have already been answered on page 1.
