Ok well my turbo is officially drinking oil and its only a matter of time before it rly dies on me or something worse happens i have decided to change it. In searching for turbos i have come across a t25 from a early 90's bluebird sr20det. I have decided to use this since A. its only $100 and works B. the A/R on the exhaust housing is bigger(not sure about the intake) C. is non-ball bearing for a slower spool (yes i want a slower spool) D. I can send my old housings out and my friend can get me a killer deal on a frankin turbo he has been selling to alot of SR20 customers. E. Did i mention its $100?
btw here are the specs of the turbo:
T-25, 60 trim 56mm BCI-1 compressor, 53.8mm 62 trim
T-25 turbine, .64 A/R turbine housing. Journal
bearings.
My questions is about the oil delievery to this turbo. I know the t25r on the car now runs dual ball bearings and if i am not mistaken runs an oil restrictor so to not blow the seals out on the bearing. Now this T25 i am getting runs journal bearing an i am not sure if i should still run the stock restrictor (i am thinking not) but if not running the restrictor is a good idea what should i run as far as a oil feed line?
