Thread: Cheap alternative for an oil restrictor

So for the last few days, I've been scrambling trying to find an oil line restrictor for a ball bearing turbo. Atp sells one but its $12 and shipping is completely outrageous for something they could stick in an envelope and slap a stamp on. I really couldn't find anything reasonably priced and was going to make one like in the how to thread.

Then, I found this today:
Auto Meter 3277 - Auto Meter Restrictor Fittings - Overview - SummitRacing.com

I'll probably have to drill the hole out just a bit, but its much easier than tapping a fitting with a set screw and drilling it out. This will thread right into a nissport adapter for the oil feed and I happen to have -4 line so it works out. Plus it's under $10

Just thought I'd share this find in case anyone else finds themself in the same situation as myself.

that's the same thing you would get from ATP. i have one that i'm not going to be using unfortunately..

not sure what size that one ise though, mines 0.35

Plus $10 Summit shipping, right?

summit usually has REALLY good shipping prices compared to other places i've shopped..

i get my k&n air filters from summit and after shipping its about the price of a filter locally or even at other places online..

For years Summit had a minimum of $10 shipping, no? Or like a minimum handling fee of $10?

the local stores can order in autometer stuff (autozone and so on). They usually can get stuff in the next day or day after and won't charge shipping.

i love shopping at summit! dont even get me started on the free shit they've sent me.. an when i had to return something cause i Thought it was broke, they overnighted me a new one an included a return label for the old one

i think it was like $13 after tax and shipping. And summit ships quick

How come your not using it? And I like this one because the ATP one is threaded for 7/16 which would screw into the turbo. I feel like I'd have to buy another 90* -4an fitting to put on the ATP piece so the feed line won't kink. I think the hole on this one is a wee bit too small but thats what drill bits are for

it dont work with my banjo style oil feed
