It looks pretty solid. I was just throwing out ideas in case you want to make another version down the road. What you have will work. I think you should finish up your project with what you have done. You have a lot of other things to worry about.

When its all done and you get to the testing you might want to data log the oil pressure during whatever type of driving your going to do.

do you think i should go with individual oil pressure sensors for each of the scavenge pumps?

you've done quite an impressive job with this project so far. love the fact that YOU do the work yourself in terms of design and machining things. however, if i had to choose a part to drool over it would be the oil pan/plate. i can't wait to see the intake manifold.

good luck and keep up the awesome work.

thank you very much, it means the hell of a lot to me.
and i cant wait to see the intake mani either!

It doesn't matter if the scavenge lines run dry for a little bit. What you should worry about is the oil tank running out of reserve oil for the pressure pump. No pressure = spun bearings. I'd figure out a way to log a pressure sensor tapped into the pressure line just before the engine.

ok, so all i have to do is make sure my oil tank is big enough that its not possible for the system to run dry? I mean, in theory, if there isn't enough space for the oil to go, then it'll never run dry.

Just a small note I think might make a difference. Does oil decrease in volume when it heats up?

seems like common logic would explain that it increases.. but hell, mabey it plays the same game as water and ice.

Looks good Chaotic. You are really thinking outside the box. I wish you the best of luck and hope everything turns out well for you!

oil increases in volume over temp rise...hence checking oil in trans or engine is always done at OP temps....
And oil tends to overflow a dip stick when hot if overfull,,,,,,,,,
this is due tp the wax crystaline structure of oil as it cools and heats up..of course that also is related to viscosity (wax crystals) but is alos directly related to voulume as well

thank you, i hope so too:)
thats what i thought..

what do you think is a good size for a dry sump tank?

thought mabey you guys would enjoy these drawings of mine, of what my engine will look like when its done:

ok... thats just too much damn free time. :lol:

Those fenders look an awful lot like what I designed for my vert. Should I get a set made up for you ;)

thats because they are the ones you made for your vert.

i'll hit you up when i have the extra 2400$.. that is the plan :rolleyes:

Yea have to get one of those intakes... Sick man, sick.

Pics or GTFO. Come on man I wanna see this get together, looks exciting.

well since you asked sooo nicely.. :gwink:

unfortunatly this isn't going to progress too much for a little bit, due to my inability to find a good paying job.

I heard that. Fortunately I'm moving to Jax fairly soon. if I can find a nice place that's good and inexpensive. A job would be nice too.

that's a huge turbo! good luck with this project!
hey pm me a price for that hx35...and specs/pictures...


thanks....

Check out Delslow's build, he had the same turbo I do beleive on his p-port. Might help with your build. Looks great thus far, good luck!

Ty

yeah delslow is a big inspiration for what i am building. he however has the s480, not the s475.

and thank you! :icon_tup:

Looks like a hell of a project. Love that you are doing all the work. Good luck on everything coming up!!!

thank you:)

lol adam is so behind... with his 12a and here goes u with this build lol what happend to the porsch???
