Bnoon Banjo turbo restrictor bolt

[tburton101]

Okay, So earlie this morning around 5:30am I wake up for work and say hmmm, i'm calling out of work. Okay anyways to the point. I got a bnoon banjo bolt that he made into a oil restrictor. I had to work on my cp-e fmic anyways because my turbo hot side had my coupler so oily that my hot pipe kept blowing off. But i fixed that and installed the banjo bolt tightened her all the way down until completely tight. Anyways I went for a hard ride and no smoke at idle! I then went for another ride i couldnt believe it no smoke at idle. Only smoke I had was once after a back fire after wot it was blue smoke, which I am going to order a Oil catch can. I think the oil catch can will fix that issue.

Yea I was pretty fucking happy that mine quite smoking using his bolt too. I cant believe no one thought of this shit a long time ago. But i think with so many cars blowing up people have stopped caring about their cars smoking as much or something. Im using a bnoon bolt with a saikou michi catch can and no smoke at all.

[tburton101]

Hell yeah man it's deffentely awesome like I said I get smoke after wot sometimes. So I will buy a occ also what oil catch is that where you get it from and how well does it work??

Just search for saikou michi on google and you will find their website, you have to email the guy and he will let you know if they have any in stock and give you his paypal. They were recommended to me by some people on here and the quality is excellent. The stage 2 catch can is the one you want. It works great and keeps your oil from getting fucked up so fast.

Glad it worked out for you guys.

Saikou Michi is the shit! I need to post pics of where I mounted mine. I don't have to pop the hood or lift up the car to drain it either!!! Just put a drain pan (or butter tub) under it and drain... takes less than 5 mins total.

i wish you would because mine is a pain in the ass to drain.

Well, until I get pics, I can describe how it's done...

Passenger's side of the radiator support, down at the bottom, there are two hard lines (I didn't look to see if they are AC or power steering lines or something else). There's a bracket where those two hard lines are bolted to the side of a radiator support area. I used heavy duty ty-wraps and tied it right to that bracket. Then, I used a 3" hole saw and cut through the plastic undertray right below the catch can to let the petcock stick through.

That's it! All I have to do is lay down and drain it into a butter tub or something like that.

[superskaterxes]

ugh wtf!!! i wish this worked for me =(

How often are your draining you Saikou Michi can?

I installed and drained after 1000 miles and had maybe 2-3 oz. I am running for 2500 miles this time to see if that is ok.

I've had maybe 2-3 oz after about the same miles as you. First time using this one though, so I'm still experimenting.

Did this, and you will get group buy pricing $85 delivered for a stage 2 5/8" CC everything you need except hose.
Now the hose is a problem - you can't use heater hose it will collapse under vacuum. Try to find vacuum resistant hose - good luck I can't find any. What are you guys using for hose on the CC setup ??????
Thanks!

You CAN use heater hose, it just has to be the HEAVY DUTY heater hose that doesn't collapse under vacuum. Here's some online http://www.ebasicpower.com/pc/MPI132...r%20Foot).html

Also recommended if you're going the catch can route is a SECOND PCV!!!!!!

I used a marine grade gasohol rated fuel line in 5/8". I purchased it off some marine supplier from e-bay.

Thanks!!!!!! How many feet do I need - 10 feet ???

Bnoon, are you going to make another set of bolts or no?

Yeah, I think I did mine with 10 feet and had about 2 feet left over.

Don't know, haven't worked out the details yet.

[Yahdy Ras]

so you cant just get a hose from home depot or something?

[eddelgado]

The problem with most hoses from a home depot type store is that they are not fuel/oil resistant and will collapse under vacuum. You may have the same problem with standard heater hose.

Actually, I just got some heavy duty hose from Home Depot last night that is automotive grade heavy duty hose. I had to get some more because I want to relocate the PCV and reroute the hoses a bit... The odd thing was, the Oriely's (however you spell that) auto parts store only had the wussy single layer wrapped stuff and no heavy duty hose in 5/8".

bnoon you'd probably make good money making more of the bolts, i know i want one lol

I'm actually down money from the first run after shipping/site donations and drill bits (broken or dulled). The tiny bits don't last long at all and cost nearly $4 each. Not doing any more. Unless you guys can afford a price jump. But after Mazda comes out with their revised PCV, we'll see if that is worth a damn, then see if it's still worth it to make more.

[failure]

How much were they going for? Shipping should also be on the buyer.

[bnoon]

FYI, I'm doing another run of 20 bolts. Few bucks more than the first run and I'll give you shipping options if you want tracking/etc. The updates are in my "Quest to cure..." thread.

[red07]

Got the bolt in today. Easy install. I took the TMIC all the way off, and had a factory fail, the rubber TMIC bracket grommets were torn, so I have to get some new ones.

Install is literally remove TMIC/shroud, remove heatshield, remove bolt, install bnoon bolt, reinstall heatshield/TMIC/shroud, and done.

No smoke so far, I'll run it harder this week as the temps will break 100, and I'll see how things are.

Brad, your bolt was longer than the factory bolt. Is that normal?

Yes, it's normal. It's maybe 1/8 longer or so... There are enough threads to engage in the stock turbo and the extra length does not block the oil from feeding both sides of the center section, so we're OK.
