Hi,

I have purchased a second hand HKS 2530 for my RB20 with some lines, however the oil line appears to be from standard and doesn't fit the smaller thread of the turbo oil feed(coolant lines fit). I need to get a new line made up, what size restrictor would people recommend to put in this line. I'm unsure if the HKS already has a restrictor in it. I don't want to starve the turbo of oil but I don't want to break any of the seals by getting to much oil in there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Adrian

The restrictor is already there.

And it doesn't break the seals, it only makes the oil get past them. So just run the line to the turbo...if it gets a bit smokey, then you need to put another restrictor in. HKS assumes that you retain the 2mm factory restrictor when they do this though, so you need to make sure you have that one on the block side also.

Thanks for that.

Is the restrictor in the block itself or on the line attached too the block?

Both.

The factory RB20 oil feed has approx. 2mm restrictor in the banjo fitting on the block end.

The turbo also has one. The restrictor in the in the turbo is less than 1mm so the only purpose the one in the banjo fitting serves is to slow the oil down before it gets to the turbo. The factory turbo is journal bearing in the series 1 and ball bearing in the series 2 and 3 so the restrictor is there for the factory turbo setup. You can leave it there or take it away, it does not matter. The one in the turbo is all that matters and Garrett put them in all of the GT range of turbos in an appropriate size.

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
