Just went through similar shit, but a single. If you are using the stock oil feed lines on yhe twins, as far as I know, they have restrictors on the banjo fitting on the block, BUT you have to check ur oil pressure and make sure its not too much more than stock. I think on the tomei pump you can adjust the oil pressure if its too high.

Quite often I have had to use multiple 1mm restrictors on single setups, it's common to overfeed the bearings/journals with oil and force it out the seals, especially if the drain is compromised. Grab some 34 restrictors and try them, as the 32 doesn't run them i'm pretty sure, but understand journal turbo's need a lot more oil supply than BB cores, you might have to drill the restrictors out a bit if they are journal bearing cores.

If you can lower the pressure externally as XGTRX mentioned it might be a lot easier than mucking around with the feed to the turbos.

Set your oil pressure Via the Tomie pump according to your bearing clearances, oil weight and RPM limit for the engine internals to survive.

Then sort out your turbo oil feed restrictor.

Pointless lowering your oil pressure to suit your turbo feed if your running big bearing clearances and intend to rev to 9000......engine will just eat itself out internally if the engines oil pressure is not there at higher RPM's

The turbo oil feed rate is adjusted after you have sorted your engines working oil pressure.

I'm looking to restrict my factory oil lines to my bb turbos I heard the factory 1.2 millimetre is reduced to point eight millimetre with High volume oil pumps?

Does Earls or someone sell banjo bolts with smaller orifices.

Ive silver soldered the inside of the fitting then drilled it out to desired size . Bit less dodgy then gluing.

definitely that's the go f**k glue, was just hoping to change a Bolt and be done.

I'm surprised there's nobody selling these things as I'm sure I'm not the first person to put ball bearing turbos on an RB with a big oil pump.

Absolutely, Just want to know whether nissan chose to restrict oil flow at the block via banjo on the 34's while garrett obviously fit them on the cartridge to be sure there restricted for warranty purposes.

The difference being 1x .8mm banjo restrictor at the block vs 2x .8mm restrictors at turbo cartridges.

Just wondering under pressure if both examples/ Turbo's would see identical oil flow being dictated by the smaller .8mm oriface @ the block.

For a high volume pump setup

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
