Rb25Det - Earls Turbo Lines With Ball Bearing Turbos

[SkudR33]

Hey guys,

I'm after some opinions on a ball bearing turbos and oil flow.

I've got a GCG high flow ball bearing turbo and I've just changed my lines over to the Earls turbo line kit... Do I need to fit a 1mm oil restrictor with the oil line they provide or is it fine to run it without the a restrictor?

Thanks in advance!

As it's a Garrett core I assume, you will need to run a 1mm restrictor. BB turbo's need stuff all oil, but the size of restrictor really depends on your oil pressure.

Probably best to call them and make sure.

I tried dude, the guy wouldn't really give me any solid information but rather pushed me into getting a quote written up which was $150 for the oil line on its own!

The whole earls kit was $239!

MCN Motorsport Connection is where i usually get my lines made these days. Speedflow ftw.

I buy the 1mm restrictors for the turbo oil feed off Kando.
