nathan_r33 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 hi all I recently purchased an r33 gtr to find it had gt2860 bb turbo's. I have noticed that almost everytime I drive it, at least once it will puff out a big ploom of blue out the exhaust on deacceleration, (I stop at an intersection just after hitting boost and I can see the smoke). now the turbos look to be almost new and is the only modification to vehicle (and exhaust). now question is do you need to fit oil restrictors to the feed lines when fitting ball bearing turbo's. I havnt yet inspected lines on vehicle yet, just thought id ask first as some said you don't have to when I done some research. engine seems to be in good shape with good compression.

Plattsy Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 yes is the short answer. ball bearing turbos need oil restrictions. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/445511-r33-gtr-passing-oil/#findComment-7336269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan_r33 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Im aware of that, have been told two things basically. The factory oil lines already have restrictors? and that they don't?. I would naturally think they don't as they come std with bush bearing turbos.

scotty nm35 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Sounds like you need another restrictor for each turbo in any case. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/445511-r33-gtr-passing-oil/#findComment-7336279 Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty nm35 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Pretty sure you only need the restricted banjo bolts. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/445511-r33-gtr-passing-oil/#findComment-7337024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
