Sr doesnt have them for their own turbo kit. Turbonetics doesnt carry them. I am using a carb jet now but i need something smaller than a .030

Are you running the SR stage II setup, like me? I was wondering if you're using a -10 oil return line. I'm just trying to figure out if this will happen to me. I've only driven my car around the block a couple times with no smoke, but also no boost. I'm using a -6 supply, and a -10 return....and hoping for no smoke. CJ

--6 is way to big. -4 can even be to big beause or such high pressure on rotaries.

Oil Restrictor

I got my oil restrictor from this guy. It comes with a .060 restriction, but I bet he could work with you on different sizes. It's a 1/8 NPT fitting, so I'm not sure if this will work for your application.

Hope this helps,

-john

Here's .035. That's as small as they sell.

Why would SR call for 25 thousandth when they dont even supply a restrictor for their own kit? Restrictors are normally used for "ballbearing" turbos! IMO

At what point can you tell if you need a restrictor? I've driven my car a couple times, with a little boost, but nothing crazy. I'm yet to see any smoke or anything like that. I'm running a -6 feed, and a -10 return. CJ
