Make sure you buy the NPT > -3AN adapter.

 

s2knoob thanks for chiming in. I read up on your build log and it looks amazing!!! Im in contact with precision and they said that it might have been starved. They dont have the turbo yet. I was taking it off tonight and it started raining. Garage is full of parts im trying to sell so the car is outside. Got everything off except the manifold bolts. (hope rain doesn't ruin anything) I taped the feed and return lines pretty good. I told them i was running the restrictor and they asked who told me to do that as they would never advise that with the journal bearing... I'm curious to know as there are mixed reviews and I wouldnt be able to tell if i needed one or not before it's too late and find out the turbo is blown again. They keep hinting towards this not being covered under warranty so i doubt their "good customer service" will cover this. I was looking into the ptuning ODB but that wont work with my manifold and I was also looking at the oil scavenger setups. I hate it when things break as I just got rid of my supercharged tiburon for this and now this breaks too.. :/

 

I hear of so many blown precision turbos, does anyone ever blow garrets ? lol

 

Derric, you'll need a bolt to plug the vtec oil pressure sensor port (10 x 1.25). The engine oil pressure sensor is located beneath the vtec solenoid/pressure switch (and above the oil filter relocation block). Like Reapur mentioned, you'll need a -3-->1/8 NPT (double male) adapter (if you're eliminating the factory sensor) or a T (if you're going to keep it). The oil feed line itself will not need to be modified at all.

As for the turbo failing, I'm sorry to hear that. Did it die in a blaze of glory? Hopefully Precision will step up and fix this for you. Did they realize that you're running the turbo on Honda? Honda's have high oil pressure (relative to the needs of the turbo). Running a restrictor is prudent, but ultimately, your call.

You mentioned that you started on the removal process; did you find any metal shavings (ie. bearing remnants) in the return line?

 

When you buy a Garrett you have to sign a NDA lol

 

Damn I didn't look in the line yet. I tapped it up and tried to get the turbo off before rain but didnt make it. I will have to look later on. I'm sure I mentioned it was a honda. and It seemed fine up until I checked it. I did however get those bad backfires when I went WOT but when I was anything lower than WOT, it was fine. I was planning on getting it retuned with the exhaust but this came first. :/ I was checking everything before making a 300mile trip to purchase side skirts and then found the turbo was screwed. big headache.

 

I have a oil firewall setup from fasturbo.com I got before i bought Ptuning oil block if its something you need let me know. I never used it and wont be using it since I have the ptuning block.

 

Okay thanks man. I will keep you guys posted.

 

I know for a fact also that the ptuning block wont fit that kit. I talked to Kyle about it when he had the car and also looked at his setup specifically when looking at what manifold I wanted and that one would not let me keep my ptuning block.

 

lol precision turbos SUCK! I'll add this thread to the stockpile of threads, stories, and first hand experience I have stored in my head proving that precision turbos, do in fact, suck donkey dick.
