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

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
