Are you running a high pressure oil pump? Chances are your restrictor? in your turbo may not be small enough and better yet, you have no real way of measureing the pressure to your turbo. Modern turbos command a set 40psi of metered oil pressure for proper lubrication around the ball bearing surfaces, failure to ensure this pressure can result in premature wear or damage to the sealing surfaces, whats worse is these modern turbos CHRA’s cannot be rebuilt without the main core being replaced.
Consider this cheap insurance for your expensive EFR, G Series, Xona, Precision or other turbo.
Turbosmart?s new patent pending OPR T40 is an oil pressure regulation system for your ball bearing turbocharger. It helps prevent compressor or turbine stage oil leaking or smoking, and takes the guesswork out of oil restrictor sizing for more efficient and effective oil delivery. Providing an aftermarket turbocharger with the ideal oil pressure has always been a challenge. Traditionally, the turbocharger?s oil feed has relied on a restrictor system, which are difficult to set up correctly. When incorrectly sized or set up, they can be the cause of turbo seal leakage and blow-by. Turbosmart?s Turbo Oil Regulator ensures the oil pressure going to the turbocharger never exceeds the maximum pressure turbocharger manufacturers specify for oil supply, regardless of engine oil pressure. The result is an oil delivery system that is more reliable and easier to setup than a standard restrictor system.
