oh mmmaaaannnnn! come on dad!! lol

alright richard, you got me there. i have the other rack but i'll have to get the mounting spacers as i plugged and offset drilled these to mount the rack.

me and the neighbor did scare outselves a little when we hit 80 and the car started to wonder with oncoming traffic, but i thought it was the front or rear alignment that might be out.

i can replace the rack easy enough.


in addition to the first post for all you efi guys, we were trying to datalog off the efi and weren't getting any data. the neighbor is a computer head so he suggested shortening the datalog cable because of intereference and it worked. suggestion was to either use a shorter cable or shield with aluminum foil in the future.

thanks for looking out after me richard!

the dry sump after the initial iteration is really not that difficult.

the tank is from oval craft, they still make the tank although it is a little shorter and wider, so i don't know how it would fit in the footwell. can't be scared to cut into the metal here.

the pump mounts with enough clearance, although some modifications had to be made on the mounting holes of the brackets.

all lines are -12.

the scavenge lines fit easily enough, although if i had to do it again i would put the screens inside the pan, there should be two on the right, one leading to the rt. front and the other to the rt. rear, the other line should scavenge off the left side for plumbing purposes, all mine scavenge off the rt. side and things are tight, hence one line had to run to the back and up the left side, although it does have a scavenge tube inside the pan running to the left side.

the scavenge off the pump goes through the oil/water exchanger and then to the tank through a 60 mic screen.

the pressure is fed off the bottom inner side of the tank through a hole in the trans tunnel to the pump, out the pump to a cannister filter mounted on a plate bolted to the inner frame rails, out the cannister to the pressure port on the engine.

everything is pretty compact and looks complicated, but it is not difficult to pull the drive train or work on things if the need arises.

there are 45, 90, 60, and 120 degree fittings uses, one just has to use the imagination, and a little help from our friends.

if i had to do it all all over again, i would not use the electric water pump, it messed up the location of the alternator too much, making extraction slightly difficult to hook/unhook the wires on the back. it could be located on the upper left where it belongs because of the oil pump location. it could be located on the pass. side, but working on or removing the pump would entail removing the alt.

hope this answers some of your question.

by the way, noticed on the newer chassis, the fuel tank is offset to the rt. with batt. and halon on the left. weight distribution?

take care.
