got a small bit of oil coming from the compressor side circlip area.
I thought restrictors were only used on BB turbo's turns out a lot of honda boys use them to limit the ammount of oil pressure going to the turbo,
I get a good 4bar oil pressure over 4k rpm all the way to redline .. and it starts up at 4 bar too until warm ( brand new oil pump lots of pressure )
this is around 58psi , I read that a turbo only requires 25-35psi to run all the time. and could be the reason for oil escaping the seals?, Ive been running 0.8bar boost which isnt really helping to keep the oil where it should be
does anyone know the correct restrictor size for this sort of pressure ? I am running an-4 oil feed line , standard unrestricted banjo bolt , and 3mm restrictor at turbo
the 90 degree oil return on the starlet is a major flaw . this is widely frowned upon by other tuners and mechanics, never knew until now!
my current oil return is the usual 16-19mm samco 90deg , I really thought this would be ok as lads run them with no probs.! Im thinking my problem lies within oil pressure side of things,
any knowledge would be greatly appreciated :teach:
