It's not quite as efficient as the engine pump. But I don't have to worry about pressure drop and things like that. Racing on a hot day, I can keep the oil temps down to about 210-220*. That's about perfect for the Royal Purple I use. |
Thank you Bob. Very creative and nice work. But it just won't keep oil warm under the conditions we discussed-that's the focus of my posts. Your set-up looks effective as backup supply for race conditions.
