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

If you are asking, "which will give more even distribution to 2 turbos?" with the options being 1 x restrictor and then splitting the supply, or split the supply and then 2x restrictors, then the obvious answer is 2x restrictors will have to give a better chance of even flow.

Uneven distribution of oil happens all through your engine until pressure is up that's normal same as 1 head feed splits off to feed all your cam lobe squiters.

So no not asking about distribution.

Correct outright VOLUME and flow of oil is what I was asking

Edited by mr skidz

distribution = outright VOLUME and flow of oil. same same.

I will elaborate on my earlier explanation. You have (pick a number) 4 bar of oil pressure at the block. You put a restrictor there and the flow rate of oil through that restrictor drops the oil pressure to (pick a number) 0.5 bar. That pressure then is directed at 2 turbos. The length of hose, the fittings in those hoses, the details of the inlet angles at the turbos, the details of the outlets on the turbos, the amount of crud that may or may not build up in the oily core of the turbos......all of these things then work as the next restrictions in the 2 flow paths. If one of these is significantly less restriction than the other then it will get more flow. Worse, if one of them changes (ie the amount of crud in one suddenly changes) then the balance of flow will change. In the extreme, if you clog one of the turbos up altogether, then all of the oil will happily flow through the other turbo.

On the other hand, if you have 4 bar at the block, run 1 hose followed by a T followed by 2 lengths of hose all the way up to the turbos, THEN have the restrictors just before the turbos, then your 4 bar is pretty much present all the way up to the turbos themselves. Then the differences in the hoses and fittings all the way up to the turbos comes out of the equation, because the pressure drop across your restrictors is the dominant factor in determining the flow in the 2 branches. Sure, all the stuff in the turbo core and downstream from there is still in play.....but the beauty of it is that you have 4 bar upstream of the restrictors on both legs. If you go close to blocking up the flow path through one of the turbos there is still some good driving force to push oil through that turbo. As flow through that turbo falls, then flow through its restrictor falls and as that happens then the pressure drop across that restrictor also falls and the pressure between the restrictor and the turbo rises - thus increasing the driving force across the core itself and maintaining flow in a situation where the other setup would have stopped flowing.

I tried Banjos from CGC but they weren't the correct size. I took the standard banjo bolts, tapped the holes, loc-tight'd a bolt to the end, cut off and re-drilled to 1mm.

Wasn't a hard job at all.

Loctite doesn't work well with heat, but if you jammed the bolt into the bottom of the tapped thread it should work fine, done it myself on a few desperate occasions.

How did you go with the 1mm drill bit? I have snapped a few off in them too.

depends which loctite.

can get thread sealer than needs an oxy acet heat to break it down.

Yup, lock tight and bottomed out into threads before I cut and ground it.

1mm drill is go slow and clear out often and you'll be ok. I used soft bolts to make sure no probs too.

They are actually 1mm restrictor banjo bolts, M12 x 1.25mm.

2 are in the sump, one on the side of the block.

so you have 2 on the sump, is that the return oil line from the turbos?

is yours single or twin turbo?

So you have one 1x 1mm banjo bolt feeding the oil is that right?

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
