Hi guys.
To all Zetec turbo users.
Im running a Zetec black top with Escort RS (t3) turbo.
Im currently rebuilding the turbo as its knackered and I want to be sure its getting enough oil.
The oil feed union on my setup has a pretty small hole, only 2mm which is think is too small. It can be opened up (up to) 4mm if needed.
Just wondered if anyone new what they were running?
I was told there is a simply test you can do to ensure enough oil it getting to your turbo, and it should be (at least) 300ml running out the turbo
oil outlet within a 60 second period....
Thanks

4mm here it's done 30 or so track days and been ok.

Will upload some for you.
I use -4 an line with a 1mm restrictor at the turbo end on my pinto, so far so good.

3/16 inch or 4.5mm
Ah ok thanks.
Sounds like me 2mm is way to small!
Depends on your restrictor. My Td04 has m10 banjos at the block and turbo.
The Impreza banjo has somthing like a 1.6 hole.
Looks small but I can tell you there is lots of oil coming from the return.
