Oil line and fitting size.

[kopenytro]

Hello,
I am doing a rear mount Garrett t28 turbo set up on my nytro.
After doing some research I can not seem to get a good idea of the line and fitting sizes I need to use for the oil supply and return.

Also, do I need to run a .035 oil restrictor in the turbo oil supply line?

Any help is appreciated.

Yes you need a oil restrictor for ball bearing Garrett's. for supply line -4 (1/4") braided is a common size but I like using -2 (1/8") braided that the local rubber supply shop has for brake lines. It's more expensive but smaller and easier to work with, since you're restricting at the end anyways flow is not a problem. For return using a crankcase vacuum return I use a 3/8".

Thanks Rick,
The turbo I am using is a journal bearing. How does that change the oil supply restrictor set up? Also, is there a general rule of thumb for the size or volume of the oil return catch can?
