oil restrictor ...

Postby tang0_au » Mon Jul 24, 2017 11:17 am

brains trust: is there a formula or recommendation for what size oil restrictor to use in a chinabay GT 2760 (i think) floating bearing turbo ?

It's just how I set them up, they only need a mist of oil, flooding the bearing can cause slowed boost response ( grab a roller bearing spin it dry, then flood it with oil and spin it.... ) plus there is no need to loose oil pressure thru the turbo. It's not needed. $3 restrictor. But that's just me. I'm no expert!!!

I meant to edit the first one to add "just like SP". Not repost over you todd.

I agree nothing wrong with that.

thanks ...

I already have everything hooked up to the port on the block next to the flywheel - have made up a 1.5mm restrictor that should flow enough ..
