Oil restrictors for the turbo line...

Post by **USDM_OneVia** » Fri Jun 11, 2004 9:05 pm

Well... doing a bit more research and since I broke that fitting off my block, I don't think I have a way to regulate the oil flow now since that block acted as a restrictor of sorts. Does anyone know if the Taka lines have restrictors in them or if I even need one? I was planning on dropping the motor in tomorrow, but if I have to order a restrictor, I have to wait a whole nother week. Any help? I don't want to blow the seals on the turbo the first week after I install it.

If you are refering to the restictor as to the oil feeder that plugs on the side of the engine which supply oil to the line for the turbo, I do have one, i took it off an engine that I stripped apart including the oil line, if you are interested, let me know.

Yes I am refering to the oil feed restrictor that is the block adaptor. I have that piece and I am trying to get a cutom line made for it but no one has a fitting that will fit the stock restrictor. They have a fitting to go straight to the block but then I need to find a way to restric the damn thing. Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

What about using something like this.

Ok, I found the fitting for you, they look like the one in the picture that you posted, (copper looking ones), and they are identical to the original ones with the same thread, if you want to see a picture of it, shoot me an email at [email protected], I will email it to you, if that would help

would using a flow valve to restrict flow work like the one in the pic above.

i wouldnt recommend using a valve, cuz it can open/close very easily, you dont really need it adjustable,
