That's what the label on the box showed, unless GCG sent me something different inside.

I had a shop doing the installation, and they told me I didn't need it.  Not sure if it's a good idea to add a restrictor on top of another anyway, that may reduce or slow the oil flow too much.

I don't think what you are questioning have any relation to the oil situation around the restrictor.

No, I have no issue for the past 5 years, lag, smoke, etc.  I do feel the -9s are still laggier than I expected, even with the Tomei cams I have that come with very different centerline than factory cams.

I have stock oil pump.  A high pressure oil pump will not impact the oil restrictor.

Mine is dyno tuned to 20psi, but I only run 15psi most of the time.

The questions I asked are I think relevant to the oil restrictor because it seems people that tend to have problems with Garrett turbos:

a) experience more lag and/or smoke because of over oiling

b) run high pressure pumps

c) run high boost which is probably why they have the high pressure oil pump.

One theory is the high pressure pumps over power the in-built 1.0mm restrictors causing a) above and so require the HKS 0.8mm restrictors.

Anyway thanks very much for all your replies - you have really helped me make up my mind not to use secondary restrictors.

Put your factory cams back in. Just gonna be laggier with those Tomei lumps.

The difference in restrictions you're talking about is negligible on a turbo oil feed.

I run the original HKS GT-SS which are metal ball bearing -9 equivalent. They came with restricted banjo bolt from memory, not an actual restrictor in the turbo. There was nothing in the turbo chra to limit oil flow.

The newer -9 sounds like the oil restrictor feed is in the chra for exactly the reason of not needing any restrictors in the fittings or line, so you can't stuff it up.

Doesn't the turbo call for a specific oil pressure at the feed? So in theory at least a super high pressure oil pump will need more restriction and a low pressure oil pump would need less restriction. How much that actually matters in the context of real parts I don't know.

Not oil pressure- oil volume. As long as it's not the volume requirement for a journal bearing turbo as they require far less oil volume on a ball bearing cartridge.

Read what I posted. The turbos oil volume is regulated by the restriction too. On my HKS GT-SS it was to use a different supplied banjo bolt as the restriction, as in say remove the standard banjo with a 5mm odd hole (stock journal bearing heap of shit) vs one with a smaller (1mm or so) hole for a ball bearing cartridge.

If the new -9 are restricted as implied at the chra to the correct size it doesn't matter what oil feed bolt you use as long as it's bigger than the chra oil feed restriction fitting. I've noticed Precision doing exactly this on their ball bearing cartridges to stop muppets getting the oil feed sizing wrong - just use a -4 line to oil turbo feed and it will be correct as the chra fitting has been restricted for you correctly.

I checked online and Garrett seems to suggest that at warm idle minimum oil pressure at the inlet needs to be at least 15 psi and at redline no more than 45 psi. Can you really separate oil pressure and flow rate in these systems? I assume that when the spec says a certain oil pressure it implies a certain resulting pressure drop across the CHRA and a resulting flow rate.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
