Hks Gt2535 Restrictor?

[lowexr]

I just had a HKS GT2535 rebuilted.

My turbo rebuilder told me not to use a restrictor since the chra already have a build in .025 restrictor. The turbo have been running the hks banjo restrictor for years before the rebuild..

I don't want to blow the turbo

thanks

So what is your question? What was the rebuild for? Why not just the HKS stuff as before?

So what is your question?

I couldn't bring myself to ask that before, but, +1.

I think his question is, with the information hes been told, should he run a restrictor if the CHRA already has a restrictor built in which if there are two restrictors in place could choke the turbo of oil and if there is no restrictor in the CHRA then he could flood it with oil. I don't think rebuilding a turbo requires a change of the CHRA, usually bearings, wheels and shaft. If that is the case, continue using it as you were before.

We kind of knew that, but were trying to encourage the expression of ideas and questions in actual, readable English text.

And a HKS GT turbo has a BB core and therefore is not "rebuildable" and does in fact require a new CHRA.

I thought places like rotormaster in Melbourne actually can rebuild Garrett cores nowadays?

yeah sorry about that, my question was sould I still use the HKS restrictor?..lol

I'm french canadian, I'm not 100% Billingual sorry...lol

You shouldn't tell people that!!!!

Actually, I apologise for accusing you of not being able to communicate in English properly. If you stand back and look at your original post, it looks like it was written by someone from the new Gen Z crowd who suffer from a near complete inability to communicate properly.

BUT.....if you look at it knowing that your first language is French, then it also makes sense why it doesn't read quite right. Again, my aplogies!

[lowexr]

No prob!!

I still don't know if i should use the hks restrictor...lol

[GTSBoy]

If there's a restrictor in the core, don't use another.

If your engine oil pressure exceeds 65psi at mid-high RPM range than use a 1mm restrictor. If you don't experience those oil pressures then you wouldn't necessarily require one.
