Hey guys ive been getting mixed answers from alot of people can someone help

i have a rb30det and a brand new garrett gt3540 now for the oil feed fitting should i run a restrictor style fitting or just a normal type ive spoken to mtq he said you can run either depending on oil pressure and my good mate STAO from hypergear said i should use a normal fitting and the restricted one will cause my turbo to die

can someone please let me know im goin crazy i have a -4an braided oil feed line

both are inverted flare type ONE WITH THE restriction is a banjo type and the non restriction is a normal turbo to -4an please help guys cheers

as for oil pressure i have no idea as the motor is not it yet and only have a rb25det oil pump

yeah they do as most garretts do but ive been advised from ATP in usa to use a ristrictor and mtq but then i have stao tellin me it will blow the turbo saying that i had a gt3071 on my rb25 with a normal fitting and front and rear seals went on that so i dont really want to risk a $1500 brand new turbo

has anyone here had experience with out with the restriction fitting

im really looking for results on the gt35 on either a rb25 or rb30det i know the fords are prone from factory to blow the seals for this reason i just want to make sure it will be fine with a restrictor as for warranty purposes

I've been running my GT35 on a RB25 with no oil restrictor, for ~3years now with out any problems.

I asked around about this as well and was told not to use a restrictor in the oil line as it is built into the turbo.

ok cool so i just got a email back from garrett and they said it all depends on the ammount of oil pressure your engine has and to make sure you dont get more then 55-60psi goin into the turbo and that a inline restrictor cant hurt

Of course they wont be replacing the turbo under warranty anyway. Too small a restrictor will definitely cause issues and I have seen too many GT35 turbine wheels shear the shaft at the rear bearing to not run a good supply of oil to it. Just my opinion though.

ATPUSA said if i follow his recommendations of using a restrictor it will be covered under warranty as even gt35 they fit the restrict the oil im just goin crazy here cause the last few garrett BBs turbos have died do to a normal fitting as do most fords with the same fitting so im not to sure what to do here its on a rb30det yet to be fitted back into the car so i cant excatly test how much oil pressure it has

this is what they said

Jayson, have a look on the turbobygarrett.comweb site (select Turbo Tech, then Basic, then Oil and Water Plumbing) it shows the max oil pressure for a Garrett Ball Bearing is 60psi, more than 60 psi may result in oil leak issues

I would go -12 tbh, but if you already have all the -10 stuff give it a go

i had big issues with my GT35 and a 5/8" (-10) oil return and they were resolved by making the drain 3/4" (-12)

also my oil feed to the turbo has a 1mm restrictor in it just before the turbo, has had it for over a year now without any issues.

ok cool as titan so i should get a 1mm fitting thats wat ive been told

what issues did u have with the 5/8 oil drain?? the braided line i have it about 60cm long but iknow its the thickness that i need to get right

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
