Think of it like this the -3 restricts the flow due to size of the line go with a bigger line and it will supply more oil and pressure. Because the car is seeing 90psi does not mean that the oil feed has the same pressure

mmmm not necessarily... smaller hose, more pressure. bigger hose, more oil.

I don't think so with this application.........but think what ya want........bigger hose is less restriction which would be more pressure

always gotta act like ur so tough over the computer. and to think, you were a really cool guy in person... its shame. put a keyboard in front of someone and all of a sudden they are Mr. Tough Guy.

Not exactly there was nothing tough or even remotely assholish about the statement I said you think what you want. But one could say the same thing about you now couldnt we. Pretty mouthy here but not quite the same when I met you. Trust me Im more than opinionated and dont mind letting people know how I feel. Most times I dont say shit for the sake of not having a e pissing contest. You have your opinion I have mine. The only thing is that I was able to back mine up.........

Secondly for the little time that you met me please dont think that you know me or have my personality pegged because I assure you that you have no idea....

[tAylor]

lol... ya you dont like to be an E thug at all...

bitch, i never claimed to know you.

[4Door]

im sooo lost with all the turbo tech talk lately lol

but a pissing match, wheres the pop corn lol




















oh, here it is j/p

sigh.......you done yet Now back to Tophers build......

[Topher]

anyway, im not mr brainy guy or anything like that, but here are my thoughts.

With a motor at idle we will say it has 20psi of oil pressure. Now since my oil feed is at the same place as my oil pressure unit, it wouldnt matter if the oil was feed into a line or not, if both were plugged, the line would just feel up with oil, then return to 20psi. 20psi on a -3 line and 20psi on a -4 line is the same, 20psi is 20psi. Now both lines would have a .065 restrictor, therefore letting the same amount of oil into the turbo.

In my opinion it wouldnt matter the size of the line because the pressure will be the same, the motor doesnt increase the oil pressure if more oil is in the line.

Im not sure if liquids are the same as gases, but I know the smaller the hole, the more pressure/air will come out of that hole, just like when you have a blower at the end of the line to blow stuff off tools, motor,s cars, etc, you find a small reducer to put on the end and the air will blow harder.

[BiggieBert]

kinda like putting your finger/thumb over the end of a garden hose...

[Topher]

yea, its the same amount of water, yet the hole got smaller so the pressure went up, therefore making the water to farther, but not as much water, the water that was going out is now kept in the hose and thats what makes the pressure go up. So if you have a small hose and a big hose, both with the same about of water coming out before you put your finger on it...which one do you think will have the most pressure when you cover the end

[Boosted-EH-804]

There might also be something that your missing or not seeing. There is a reason they tell you to use -3 instead of -4. Look at the BW S turbo's they use -4 because they dont care about the extra oil being supplied by the bigger line plus they need the oil. Now look at all the other companies most everyone uses -3 and its usually recommended hope you figure the leak out.....

Your car is a headache for sure. Best of luck to ya with the OBD0 harness
