Oil line sizing

[97camryman]

Ok this is for the turbo guys, I need to make an oil feed line going from my oil pressure sensor location to my ct26 that has not been clocked or anything unusual. I have read the turbo sticky many times but my case is special because I have higher oil pressure. When I removed my engine balancer assembly awhile back I plugged the oil feed ports to it and now my engine runs substantially more oil pressure and thus I would assume, volume. I am afraid that if I use the regular size feed line everyone else is using that I will have too much oil going to the turbo and I will blow out the seals. Should I use a restrictor in the oil line mabe? What do you guys think? By the way the oil pressure is about 20 psi higher than stock across the board.

I bought a -3 an teflon hose today with aeroquip fittings. Hope it is the right size. Anyone?

-3 AN for the oil feed works fine. I used -4AN on my setup, which is only a tad bigger (1/16").


You want the drain to be big though. Something like -10 AN or -12 AN.

Lol thanks, I have the drain way covered My drain line is 1 1/4 inch which is like -20 AN or something. I saw a few people using -4 and I felt that with higher oil perssure -3 would be ok but I wanted to confirm this with someone who actually knows.
