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

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?

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
