ct26 oil restrictors

**Blackmk3** · 25-04-2007, 07:43 PM

does the ct26 have a factory oil restrictor? on the 7mgte? or do they just take full flow oil pressure?
Ive just got a turbonetics 60-1 upgrade and i want to sus out all the lines before i pull the turbo off

a search didnt come through with anything

Thanks
Nick

the restrictor is only to reduce the flow of oil to a roller bearing cartridge.... plain bearing turbos do not need a restrictor as far as i know

thanks for the advice anyway does anybody else know any more?

Thanks

not all nissan ones are mate, i wouldnt bother with one, but you can work out the flow from the oil feed line. It needs to be around 2L per minute from memory

i think il just make up new hoses in the same size as the ct26 then oil flows going to be the same well same ish

Thanks for that just wanted to know it was going to be safe to run full pressure insead of blowing my oil seals out sideways

There's an article i posted in that thread which tells you how much oil your turbo needs.
