Hey guys just Want to sort this out before my engine goes in I read somewhere on here a while ago that when putting ball bearing turbos on a car ie 32GTR that you may need oil restrictors in the feed lines. I've done a heap of searches and can't manage to find it again so Im wonderin does this apply with my application or do Garrett restrict all their direct replacement turbos such as -5's?

Cheers in advance.

There's gotta be a reason why HKS supply banjo bolts with restrctors built in with their GTRS & GTSS turbo kits so one can only assume they are needed.

if you need the banjo bolts with the .8mm restrictor in them, you can get them on ebay from kando_dynamics.

Well the HKS GT-RS's that came off my car had NO restrictors in the core BUT had really stupidly small oil holes in the banjo bolt.

The off the shelf Garrett -5's that replaced them had the restrictors in the core hence no need for the HKS banjo's. Stock banjo's went back in.

Look into the oil feed and see if it is restricted.

My -1/-9 I installed last wk had the restrictor built in the core....To the bottom of the hole was completely sealed off, and to the side about where the thread stops there was a tiny hole probably 1mm or less. You actually have to look good to see it, and honestly I think the -5 would be the same.

Always wondered why HKS lncluded the banjos in the gtss kit....Probably just to justify the price : )

You'll also have a little work to do with the front turb oil drain pipe to get it to work.

BTW....No need to worry about the whole "S" thing....Just labelling AFAIK

Half the problem is knowing what to look for.. when you look into the oil feed on the turbo you don't easily see the 'restrictor' part. But actually you are looking right at it.

I took a photo of mine out of the turbo. You see the tiny hole on the side (this one is 0.8mm, the -5's came with 1.2mm originally)

hope these photos might help.. but to summarize, yes, -5 do come with a 1.2mm restrictor.

(oh and yes this turbo pictured is a -7.. but -5 is same)

Yeah Cheers man I've gotten to the point where everything measures up the same looks the same and to all accounts IS the same apart from the tags so they're going on lol!

Cheers R32 TT pic's will help out alot. I thought they would be restricted from factory just wanted to be sure.

Blue_vl_t yeah I'm running a trust aftermarket pump but I cant remember the exact thread I was reading and if it even refered to replacement bolt on kits might have just been aftermarket larger than stock items.

Anyway thanks all for the help.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
