Oil Squirters - Aftermarket vs OEM Oversized

tocobill · 10-18-2022, 09:40 AM

So I bought a set of the rebuildable ones from Taormina Racing a couple years back. I have installed 2 and frankly wasn't super impressed with the fitment. They slightly warped while installing but the spring set up is my main concern. Since then there has been alot of drama over the Taormina products. In order to removed these they will likely be destroyed by the slide hammer and I likely won't be able to more. I ended up with oversized since the ones I removed were OEM and slightly larger than stock size but undersized compared to the oversized units. The engine is a 993 with the bottom end built up and gt3 oil pump and 10-1CR.

Prior to me pulling these out what other options do I have? I know some race engines run a set screw drilled for size but dont operate at idle oil pressures like a street car would. Ideally I would like to be able to service these but its not a deal breaker. I can still get OEM oversized but need to get my hands on one to measure the diameter to ensure they work.

Curious what out there. Thanks.

I just bought a set of standard OEM squirters(not oversize). ODs were all 6.22-6.24mm.

Thanks. The case is drilled to 6.5mm for the toarmina units. IIRC the oem oversize are also 6.5mm .. just dont have one to confirm. Im shocked that there isnt much more out there then oem and toarmina.

I have also found the 993T squirter 993.101.018.60 which appears to be the longer version with a 2mm orifice. Has anyone installed these in a NA 993 case?

There’s not much out there because the stock ones work. Changing sizes and spring tensions no thanks, the Porsche engineers made them they way they did for a reason.
I’m sure oil supply and pressures were thoroughly tested.Change flow or pressure in one place changes it in another.
If your having a fitment issue after removal use a dab of lt620

Thanks. OEM oversized 993 Turbo squirters are on order.
