Rosie Member 361 Member For: 17y 10m 3d Posted 04/05/11 03:29 AM Share Posted 04/05/11 03:29 AM I had Oil Surge and fixed it by having a Floor fitted to a new Stock Sump, with '4' off-set Swing Gates and a Lip fitted where the Sump goes shallow at the front of the BA Sump.Pickup was relocated in the middle of the new setup!Then fitted an Oil Cooler behind the Drivers side Driving Light opening and gained some extra Oil in the Lines!Problem solved!Can't spell the Name, but fitted 'Costeci' Pump. (From WA).Car is tracked hard at least once/Month.Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't bother with N/ADepending on the year of the engine some valve springs are stronger than others but I would replace them anyway.Also do the oil pump gears. They are week and sometimes fail when hitting the limiter hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risking Member 7 Member For: 13y 9m 10d Posted 04/05/11 11:52 AM Author Share Posted 04/05/11 11:52 AM I now have an FG LPG engine which I've grabbed cheap.I plan on Keeping the block, crank, head and cams. After some lengthy discussions with my machinist we decided to just buy the freshest block and head we could (7500km old) then replace everything to bring it up to spec.I'll be running a full dry sump so wont be worried about the gears failing. was more a curiosity question.

Risking Member 7 Member For: 13y 9m 10d Posted 11/05/11 12:19 PM Author Share Posted 11/05/11 12:19 PM (edited) The build has begun, I've been collecting parts for a while now.Ive got6 speed holinger H6S. ( sequential)Tilton triple plate clutchTwo 3540's with tial v band exhaust housings.CPC (custom plenum creations) inlet plenumMotec m800 and aim mxl pro dashInjectors, Weldon fuel pump etcPeterson 4 stage oil pumpPeterson tankAti balancer and drive mandrelWe are looking to use pauter X section rods and a custom JE piston. Same stuff we have used in previous cars.The rest of the car is being built as a space frame r32 chassis, but will have an r34 Gtr front end. Carbon body panels (already moulded)Tilton pedal boxEx 997 cup car calipers and 380mm rotors997 Porsche uprights with center lock hubs18x13 rear wheels 18x12 fronts.Custom 4130 subframes and suspension components.It's an all or nothing type of build that has a very healthy budget behind it, I've got all the parts listed areasy besides the engine internals. In the next few weeks I'll get the engine sitting in the chassis then have it stripped down to begin the rebuild.The old rb26 we use is based on a 20+ year old design and honestly they are rubbish engines.The ford engine seems to have some good credentials behind it and how could I ignore the extra 1400cc to begin with. Big capacity, very similar weight, same engine layout, newer technology design, how could it possibly not work.
