Turbo oil feed

Where is the best place to get an oil feed for the turbo from? Cant even seem to find the oil pressure sensor :-S also does anyone know if you need an oil restrictor with a garett gt28r turbo? Thanks.

Tim

i believe most people take the feed from the right hand side of the head.
and the oil pressure sensor is the closest sensor to the oil filter

Ross

Thats a great help thanks. Think i will take the grub screw out of the side of the head and retap it for an oil feed. Thanks.

Tim

Yer take it from the grub screw at the front of the head a t cambelt end just above exhaust port 1 its 1/8 npt/bsp thread and no turbine technics told me not to use a restrictor

What turbo are you running? Garett said To use a oil restrictor with all there ball bearing turbo's so dont know weather to or not. Thanks.

im using a garrett t28 if yours is ball bearing it must be a t28r in which case you mite need to restrict it as normal t28 is journal bearing, if yours is ball bearing im well jelous lol

Yes it is a gt28r 😊 i almost bought an rs but they were alot dearer. What power is yours and what 1/4 mile times? Hopefully mine should be ready in a few weeks.

nice!! mine 215whp 262bhp and quarter time of 12.4 on justy drive train what sort of build is your engine

Ive got ur mag feature. Its a really nice car. Ive got forged rods, 8.5:1 comp forged pistons, custom cams, bigger valves, stronger valve springs, solid lifters, aftermarket inlet, ported n polished, gt28r turbo, 550cc inj, balanced crank, lightened flywheel, dmdave clutch n fuel rail, fuel pressure reg, 255 walbro fuel pump and converted my swift to 4x4. Hoping to get 300bhp at the flywheel but not sure if it will be that high. Ive also removed the dizzy and running an mbe standalone ecu n got polycarbonate windows. Need to upload some pics of my build but not sure how to do it.

thats quite a list of mods, what rpm are you going up to to need solid lifters?

Only going to rev to about 8 for now and see how it runs. U can gain an extra 10 to 20 Bhp by having them, but the downside is that they need reshimming every so often when they wear. What compression ratio are you running? Have you had any problems with the drivetrain since you turbo'd it?

Above question was for swifty.

thanks for the mag - i run 8.5:1 mate and you should easy see some massive power as im on standard cams crank rods valves, and only prob i had was snapped rear drive shaft launch on high friction concrete and hot tyres lol but my rear diff is welded with uprated prob dont forget

how long ago did you get ur rad as that bloke hasnt replied

Ive not welded my diff, is there much point in doing it? Ive removed the viscous and lengthened and strengthened the mini prop. I got my rad about 8 months ago. Have u tried looking on ebay?

Yer as uve done the viscous and prop work. With the power ur pushing thetes no way the rear will take the planetary gears are tiny its that or LSD and yer thers loads of civic ones bit not swift ones

Will see if i can find one for you. Did u weld ur diff in the car or did u take it off? Who sells lsd for them?

If you search ebay worldwide theres quite few but there all 40mm twin core, which must be what ive got.

Did it of the car bit in the box as culdnt get the bearing nuts undun and yer I saw them earlier not sure who sells the LSD now think theres a bit on here about them tho
