when running a borg turbos do you have to run any oil restrictors or anything?

and does anyone know if they require any special fittings for the oil supply and drain?



thanks!

 

i believe all of bw turbos are journal bearing and dont require a restrictor...

not sure about the oil return thread size... the company i bought mine from had the 90fitting that turns it into a 1/4 npt thread... so a simple 1/4 npt to -4an worked for me...

oil return i got from the same company a flange that converts it to 1/2npt then used a 1/2npt to -12an fitting

im running an s366 if that matters

 

hhmmm. some sites actually recommend -3an line and if you run a-4an then run a restrictor.

like this ; under "application notes": http://www.full-race.com/catalog/pro...oducts_id=1908

 

hmm so i was told -4an or -3an is okay.... should i be running the oil restrictor? what happens if i dont run one?

 

Hahaha... I dont know either muibubbles

 

better off with too much oil than not enough. Run it without a restrictor, and if you get smoking then do something about it.

 

how about call airwerk and find out the proper information.... When I get mine, if the information isnt here, Im going to call to make sure...

both too much and less is bad....

Better safe than sorry

 

very true, just time is an issue, going to bring the car in to the shop friday to have the exhaust made and a few things here and there.. PLANNING to drive it home i hope this isnt one of the issues that stops me... =/ will make some calls tomorrow..

 

I prefer the -3 line no restrictor and its always worked for me.

 

i always worry about the right restriction.

if some turbos get too much pressure they blow their seals and start smoking.


but a -3an line is a restrictor in its self most times

 

well after reading full races, im gonna go with a -3. id be even more worried about borgs oil feed. dont they relay on their oil design for such quick spool?
