Default Oil feed restrictors

Question!

What are you guys using?
-3AN or -4AN feed lines
Are you using any type of restrictor to prevent smoking?

Im using a T-76 F1-Trim

Im now ordering all the oiling parts for the build


Thanks,
Derek

Well, .125 is the ID of -3 AN line so i will just drill my "restrictor" with a 1/8 bit.
Should work fine!

Thanks guys,
Anymore opinions on this subject?

Sweet! The reason why i purchased -4an was incase i drilled a little too big. If i drill too big ill just drill the hole 1/4" and use various size NX jets. I Dont think you can use NX jets with -3AN.

I'm running a .053 nitrous jet for a restrictor. I think my feed line is -4.

Really!
3/64 .0469
1/16 .0625

The regulator on my Function7 flange is basically a a 1/16 inch hole which can be drilled out to increase oil flow.

Hmmm, currently your running smaller than 1/16"
Whats your oil pressure like?

Im installing a ported Melling Oil Pump on the 370 im building so i may have to go with a small hole as well.

Thanks,
Derek

I'v been running a -4 with a 1/16 hole (welded and drilled in the npt/an fitting on the turbo) for three years now with no problems. When I was told to use 1/16 drill bit I thought it had to be too small, but it works great not one bit of smoke.
