Oil restrictor

[ballx4xlife]

Hey guys, do you know where I could find a .063 oil restrictor for my ball bearing turbo? I went to Pepboys and Advanced Auto Parts and they had no idea what I was talking about. I don't really want to buy one online because the shipping will cost just as much as the restrictor itself. Thanks

Its for the oil feed into the turbo. I guess to keep the pressure down so I dont blow any seals.

I hear you on the shipping cost maybe look on ebay or something but at the end of the day if you need it you need ...

Right, did you try a nitrous jet?

I do have a bunch of nitrous jets. I havent tried one though. I will see if they work. Do you think they would fit in the AN fittings good?

nitrous jets work, BUT make sure you can properly screw both oil fittings with the nitrous jet in between them. honestly though your better off buying an actual restrictor online. local stores wont know what your talking about. as for shipping, atp turbo sells them.

if your looking for a cheap hobby, this ain't it.

According to the guys I bought my kit from, they said I need a .063. .065 is pretty damn close. How much of a difference can .002 be?

I would guess you would really need the .035 seeing you have a ball bearing turbo.
I run 1 .065 for my twin 60's with journal bearings.

According to the guys who I bought my kit from, I need a .063. Its a T76 if that means anything (dont know if bigger the turbo, bigger the oil restrictor?)

Its all about oil pressure. The bb turbos need less pressure than journal ones.

I use a .068. It's not that big of a deal. Just get whatever. It's just gonna prevent it from blowing oil past the seals and causing turbo life decrease as well as smokey start-ups.
My fitting allowed me to use a nitrous jet perfectly so I did, don't let people scare you away from using it if it fits properly on your setup.
