Our turbos use oil for luberication. I think cooling as well. Anyooo. The oil pressure is so high in a rotary, without a restrictor pill to lower the oil pressure, the turbo seals will begin to leak. When you buy a aftermarket turbo, you sometimes need a pill to restrict the oil.

Holy hannah Chris....that is one very nice looking engine bay - more specifically the rotary jewelry in the engine bay.......

I can't wait to see the wheels turning on this properly done S4....of coure you're probably a little anxious too eh?

BTW, you must have a small fortune invested in AN lines/fittings, that sheeat adds up REAL fast.

Once again - keep up the good work, you make this rotor-head proud!

Guess I need to pull the excess teflon tape out of my eyes.
I saw your car at Rotorfest and was impressed with it.
Good job

If you don't mind me asking, about how much do you have into the AN stuff? I just finished my car and the total bill is around $3100. With a few leftovers, of course.

Honestly Aaron, I could not tell ya. I really never kept track of the money. If I was to guess, $1200.oo That includes the FPR, Oil Cooler lines, Fittings, Pulsation Damp, walboro pump, braded lines, An fittings, and splitter blocks.

$3100.00 is some bank!

Jeseus!! I thought $1800 was bad. Did you run A/C and power steering too? I bought everything but that and spent $1800

A/C and power steering? What's that? Car never had it, never will.

My fuel system was also probably a little more unique then most. And that bill included the pump, filter (2 of them), FPR, etc. etc.

OK that makes more sense now. That is pretty close to my total including the fuel mechanicals. Since the topic has been breached is it possible to run A/C and PS with AN and SS braided line?

Would it be possible for you to give us a rough...'list' of fittings and hosing we might require for doing such a badass job?

That is a little tough. You see, everyone I have seen has a different setup. If you noticed, I moved my alternator. That allowed for more room for my plumbing. If you look at RX-Heven's setup, his is different because he was using FD manifolds. The best thing you can do is draw it out several times. Go to FC3SPro.com I think it is. RTeds site anyhow. He has a good drawing to start with. Feel free to hit me up. A parts list from mine will be quite diffferent from say, anyone elses, and visa versa.
