Sorry had a quick question, I was told if I spun a bearing in my motor the metal from it will get into my turbo and killed it. So I started searching and found a few -4 an inline filters but the ends are both male which means I would have to buy a female to female an connector.

I did somemore searching and seen a few people used nitrous filters but not alot of info. I was wondering if it would be ok to use a -4 to npt nitrous filter which would resolve the need for extra fittings. Has anyone attempt to use a nitrous filter and if so what were the results?

thanks for the link but that doesn't answer my question but either way I called holley and they said it will be fine.

3.50 alot better than 69.50

 

I would be more worried about the filter limiting flow causing premature failure. You are supposed to change them regularly...what a pain in the a$$ unless you have a single turbo kit.

 

I do, a single t61 and the turbo is right behind the drivers side headlight so it's very easy to reach

plus the filter is reuseable

 

ya without examining the bearings on the turbo, it will be hard to know if you are getting the proper flow with that filter.

not sure how holley would be able to tell you if its appropriate. i'm sure its ok for use with oil and thats probably the extent to which they said its ok.

 

it's easy with the oil line hooked up to the motor and filter run the npt in of it to a gauge to measure it. Then if everything is in spec use and if it restricts the flow too much don't use it.

Remember this is a filter not a restrictor

 

15-45 psi range and you're good. Jim Wolf indicated to me that some have had success with the metal screens that are in fuel injectors. The filters you linked to do not work for me, so I have no idea if its similar to what you are proposing (I've never run nitrous).

 

no need for all this, the oil filter on the oil pump will do the job, just go and bay a magnet bolt for the oil pan.

 

I disagree fully. I lost both my turbos when my rod snapped. metal all thru the system. At least they were journal bearing so the rebuild was cheap. Cass lost his turbos a couple times and garretts dBB are about $$$$ to rebuild. a 50$ filter is small beans
