Just send me what you have and let me put it together for you. I've got two ITS engines in the works at the moment. They need a friend!

With using the Rx-8 stationary gears, is there anything else needed, or can I just order new front/rear gears and bearings for such and "bolt" them in? Seems like another great tip. To use that three window bearing there needs to be two additional oil passaged machined in..correct? Not to mention that bearing is $77! thanks!

I've got this mod on my IT7 and avg 120+psi above 3K. At idle, the pressure drops to 40psi.
Also have the larger competition 6qt pan.

The remote filter would be a good mod, tho.

Just remember that too much pressure is not a good thing either. 100-120PSI seems to be the right place based on my experience on track.
