restrictor

I have a 93 rx7 with a garett gt37r. I was wondering what size restrictors do you guys use because i just rebuilt the motor and having a hard time deciding if the turbo is blowing oil of the new rebuild is still smoking....

Thanks for the help.

I also just thought about this, but the turbo went bad on the car. So that might be all the old oil in the exhaust. I am just really worried about it and dont want it to go bad again.

It was just started today for about 20 min or so. So i might need to let it idle and drive it a little bit more before i get too worried about it.

if it's a fresh rebuild and you have only run it for 20 minutes.... then it's got a little bit before all the smoke is gone

Only oil mod that i have done is the pellet in the front cover. I will have to check the pressure at 3500, but i am sure that it will be high.

Yes i have a -3 restrictor that ams uses for the evo's and talons due to their high oil pressure as well. I believe that it is a 37 thousandths.

I had a GT35r with a restrictor. But I heard somewhere the BB turbos have internal restrictors. SO I just took it out. Runs good.
