Help.. apexi rx6 guys... what is this/where to buy?

I'm enclosing an attachment., seems to be an oil restrictor, and idea where i can get one, what diameter the hole is, and what threads on both sides. Anyone make one? where? Mine snapped in two...


Thanks,
Rob

Yes it is an oil pressure restrictor. I know that it is a standard fitting, so you should be able to obtain them from any supply house that carries AN fittings. There are two of them one is on the T/C (Turbocharger)side and is part # 8604-1104 (AN4-M10xP1.5). The other is for the E/G (engine) side part # 5904-0230 (AN4-M14x P2.0).

lol when i got my rx6 kit that part was stripped. even though the fitting is a standard size the restrictor hole in it is not. you need the little hole because of the ball bearing. the only place i found that had it was apexi japan. its like 12 bucks for it. and it took like 2 months for it to arrive. I talked to Mas at apexi usa and he ordered it for me. if you call him he should know what it is that you are looking for.

what size are you using? How did you fit it in exactly? I'm using a 64 now, and I am not blowing oil out the BOV anymore...

you can find the fitting... pretty easily, you just have to take it to a welding shop, or maching shop and have them brazen the top and then drill a small hole.... otherwise, like apexkw said, you'll have to order one from apexi.....
