big 16g oil feed and return question

[Sandman817]

Since im getting close to putting my motor back together and getting my dsm running again pretty soon i have a couple questions.

I just received my oil return line kit from GYM and it is a -10an kit. The only thing is it didn't come with flanges for the turbo or oil pan. I found GYM listing a vibrant flange with bolts for 30 bucks and i was just wondering if there was any place cheaper since i was unable to find any, even on vibrants website.

My 2nd question is about the oil feed line. Previously i was running a big16g from godspeed and a SS oil feed line was provided with the turbo kit. The line is way smaller compared to my drain kit that i have now. Im just trying to figure out what size supply line i should run so i don't supply the turbo with too much oil pressure and push oil past the seals while boosting.

Thanks for your help guys, appreciate it.

Who sells an oil drain kit without the flanges necessary to fit the drain to your car?

You should use a -4AN feed from the filter housing with a .070" restrictor, or just buy a new 1G feed line from the head and feed the turbo as it was intended from the factory. These lines are less than $30 new from JNZ Tuning.

haha good question. Now im going to end up spending 50 more dollars than i should have to just to get the flanges and new gaskets.

As for the oil feed line goes, i found 2 feed kits from jnz one from the head and one from the OFH. I was looking at the kit for the OFH and it looks exactly like the one i already have. As far as the restrictor goes, is that built into the banjo bolt/eyelet or is this something you run inline?

The only line that comes with a restrictor built into the eyelet is the factory 1G line from the head. Nothing else you'll buy has any type of restriction...therefore this needs to be an accessory.

alright, i did some looking around and came across this one.

TURBO OIL RESTRICTOR AN-4 BILLET ALUMINUM - eBay (item 260591740295 end time Feb-18-11 13:22:36 PST)

Shall work just fine.

Just be sure you don't over-tighten the restrictor and strip the threads as the part is aluminum.

awsome, going to order it this week. along with 2 mitsu oil return flanges and the gaskets. Trying to get everything for my build

Why not just use a stock 1G return line?

well i already have the return line kit so i figured i would use it...i mean i did buy it for a reason
