    I’d also like to add my ball bearing Garrett gt series doesn’t need one either. It’s built into the chra and they’re only needed when running upgraded oil pumps/pressures. Had a mate with a s15 use one and cook his turbo because of lack of oil lol. Glad you showed the proper need for a good drain as well!

At this point, going with another manufacturer "may" not allow me to be ready in time. I've called at least once a week, and it's "this weekend" or "this week".

    100% Facts. As long as the oil return is proper / big enough, than you'll be all good. That being said I do run a restrictor on my eBay hx35 but it's way bigger at about .08 as opposed to peoples improper .035. That's cool though I didn't even know you don't need a seal for it to not leak

    • @cmattdabrat
      @cmattdabrat  3 года назад +1

      Exactly! That's interesting to hear. I'd say there are some exceptions to the rule, but if you're running into issues, this is a great default to resort back to. Crazy isn't it? I'm not an engineer, more of a hobbies engineer, but that fact seals do nothing to keep the oil in, just goes to show if issues come up, look at your drain / return, whether there's kinks in the drain line, or it's at too extreme of an angle.

    My china gt3582 finally let go after 4 years, bought in late 2019 installed in early 2020. It has worn enough to have bit more play than normal but it resonates like hell at 3000rpm, and is even more lazy than it was new, also it is a bit big for my application. Weird thing is it didnt have built in restrictor, im not sure how many actually does have but this didnt, so i had to drill my own on a flange to allow "proper" oiling, lines are feed an4 and drain an10. no leaking or other weird stuff happening with oil, just normal wear i guess since 4 years sounds like a solid time for a summer fun "daily" car, or maybe too little oil who knows. I plan on opening the turbo and maybe even throwing a repair kit on it to save it for some random use.
    Since its now broken i am stepping down to a T3/T4 / T04E turbo, much better size for my setup and enough to have fun, will keep current oiling setup but going to drill out my flange for full an4 size if it has restrictor built in. Maybe i will get another 4 years out of this or even more who knows.
    Great video to explain oiling on journalbearing turbos!
    Fun fact, that gt3582 is the one in my profile picture.

    No journal bearing turbo needs a restrictor and interesting enough Garrett claims there ball bearing cartridges don't require a oil restrictor either. This info came straight from a Garrett technician I spoke too. Now either he was just pulling my chain or he hasn't a clue what he is talking about. If you would please look into this claim and post a video of your results. Thank you. Great video too my friend. I enjoyed the content.

      Thanks Jim! I should have been more clear with my title. The turbos I have include a built in restrictor. So, they do need some restriction, but it's not a 1mm or smaller though. Ball bearing turbos need a restriction because you're really just lubing the bearing and keep it cool with the oil, vs journal bearing turbos acting more like a crankshaft journal.

I keep getting a puff of smoke when i let off throttle under boost at high rpm on my honda b20 , and theres nothing i can really do with the return line. I know its not really recommended but thought about trying to go down to a $10 1.5mm restrictor to see if it would help, before i go the expensive route and tear the engine down to check for worn rings etc. Any ideas buddy? cheers

      Hi mate, ive always been told to use a restrictor on the honda engines, they run at high oil pressure. I have destroyed the last Chinese turbo from using no restrictor. I have a - 12 line with huge 19mm drain plate. I went with 1.2mm restrictor. Only time will tell!

    • @cmattdabrat
      @cmattdabrat  3 года назад

      I'm not sure what size it is. It's not too uncommon to get a puff of smoke. If it's constantly smoking, different story. I'd check to make sure you have as straight of a shot, minimal bends in the drain, you have an adequate PCV system, the drain is going into the highest spot possible for the drain. I know Honda's make some high oil pressure, so a restrictor may be in order. Or like you mentioned, you could have excessive ring gap, but that would just show in excessive oil consumption.
