Subject: Re: Team3S:
Dry sump conversion?
The main things would be a new pan, a reservoir, a
pump [ usually belt drive ]
and the necessary lines to pump the oil and
return it to the modified oil pan.
The biggest pain would be the
scavenger pump, they may make an electric one
otherwise the brackets, pulleys
and belts would be a PITA.
You should be able to find the pumps at
Jegs or Summit.

Re: Team3S: Cracked wheel
Well being a mechanic here is my opinion.
Cracked Wheels will never bee the
same,, even if bent you can straighten them
and re weld them, but next pot
hole you hit,,,,, Get the point,,,,.
Every time you weld the metals or bend
back metal it becomes weaker.. until
finally you try and bent back and it
will jsut rip arart.. my sugestion,,
spend the little now before you ahve to
spend alot later for suspension parts
and axles becasue when that rim comes
apart,, thre goes everything in it's
path,,, might even hit the side of the
car,, then 2K for a new paint
job....

Sounds to me like the dreaded ISC failure.
If your

if you let go, it's most likely the ISC. I have one for sale (along

pretty much every other part on the car) if you need it.

The stock pan has something of a baffle. Its just a plate
about level with
the "hump" in the pan, with a hole for the oil pickup to fit
through. It
also has slots on the edges, so any oil on top of the plate
that gets
sloshed to an edge will make its way into the pickup area. I
think that
design is actually pretty good, but I have zero experience with
any sort of
modified baffle setups.
Do you see the oil pressure drop
at all during hard cornering on the track?
If not, then baffles won't really
help anything.
> OR --- how about the Accusump products ???
>
Anybody with information on their products.
I've seen some circle-track
cars use them, but I guess I never seriously
considered using one on my
car. I've autocrossed my car, but the turns
usually don't last more
than 5 seconds or so. I never noticed a loss of oil
pressure, but I'm
sure the stock gauge probably isn't the best.
I'd wonder where to plumb
it in... The oil cooler circuit isn't opened to
flow into the motor
until the oil is warmed up. There's sort of an "extra"
bolt on the oil
filter mount (if I'm remembering right) - maybe there would
be a decent
spot.

Subject: Re: Team3S:

I haven't seen pressure drop, but hard cornering is when
you can least
afford the time to look. In addition if you're not paying close
attention
and get a quart down during a weekend the could be a fatal
error. I haven't
seen the inside of the stock pan maybe it's better than I
think.
As to the Accusump, they sell adapter plates that fit under the
oil filter.
The storage cylinder would be a pain to locate, although it's
orientation
isn't critical. Maybe it's overkill but I do like the idea of a
pre-oiler
for the engine --- hell, it's only money, of which I have less and
less as
a result of this
upgrade.

Jim Floyd had some system on his car where you
turned the key and heard
a pump run for about 15 seconds. You couldn't
start the car until that
was finished. I think it was an oil pre-pump
to get things lubricated.
Jim? Can you tell us more?
I think
it was the Colorado state law making sure his car wouldn't be
used for a
high-speed getaway vehicle. He'd have to sit there for 15
seconds
outside the bank before driving away. =)
I'm all for oil stuff here
being another open tracker. Same with fuel
tanks. I looked at
fuel cells in my Pegasus catalog today and they are
costly (around $1,000 for
around a 20-gallon size) but it is safe.
I need to start making a list
for us track junkies and the mods
necessary and where to get them. I
keep forgetting to do that. It
would also be a help to the new folks to
see how little they can do or
what it really takes to make the car
worthy.

www.summitracing.com has fuel cells that
I think start at $100. Do you burn
20 gallons of gas in one day at the track?
This is a lot of high-speed
driving! I need to try it one day. I'd better not
get addicted to open
track racing - it is like ten times more expensive than
any of my other
hobbies! How frequently do you open track guys go
racing/practicing, once a
week, once a month? Once a month ain't too bad, but
then you need to own a
bank to be able to afford all the car maintenance that
comes with this
hobby. I even assumed that you do all of your maintenance
yourselves.

In one day of a Driver's Ed I burn a full tank of
20.5 gallons of 94
octane (about $35 a tank). If you put in a 5- or
8-gallon fuel cell
then there are parts of WV that I drive through that don't
have gas
stations but 125 miles apart I think. I wouldn't make it from
one shop
to the next.
Someone in MA put in a 25-gallon tank.
Just saying if you still wanted
to make 300+ mile drives before filling then
you'll need something close
to stock. I would want the 44-gallon one
and pull up to a full serve
station. Watch them scratch their head to
see if there is a leak or
something and just keep on filling. Candid
Camera moment.
And I doubt Summit Racing's fuel cells come in aluminum
boxes like the
ones from Pegasus. Maybe that is the difference.
Pegasus ones had -AN8
fittings too. Not sure what others have.

Mr. B,
I have used the Accusump product
and it does work as advertised.
It will bring your engine up under oil
pressure before you start it.
However it will do nothing to cool down your
turbos when you turn
off the engine.
I am currently using
www.pre-luber.com because it saves my
engine
and my turbos.
As we have discussed previously I can't afford to
melt any more
credit cards.
When I upgrade my engine and/or turbos I want
it to be on my terms
not due to component failure.

And how much weight does this save putting it on
your car? (Please
phrase your response in the form of a negative number
since it will save
negative weight.)
This might not be useful for the
Suthern' kinfolk but you guys up there
in Colorado and Montana might be on to
something here.
The Accusump will pre-oil the car and your head will wait
one minute to
shut the car off or get the $80 TurboTimer things to do it for
you.
Since this Pre-Luber is in my own state I might be out that way and
stop
in their place sometime. Thanks, Jim.

Hmmm ---- They're both toothed
wheels, If it's driven by a belt or
chain it's a sprocket if it's driven by
another sprocket it's a gear.
It's the thingies on the end of the cam the
timing belt turns.
Good price also --- Steve is beginning to piss me off,
every time I
make a payment on my credit card he has a special on
something
I want.
The issue with the cam gears is knowing how much you
want to
change the cam timing relationship --- it can make a difference
but
I don't think there's a very big data base out there on where to set
them.

RE: Team3S: oil pan baffles
And how much weight does this save putting it
on your car? (Please
phrase your response in the form of a negative
number since it will save
negative weight.)
This might not be useful
for the Suthern' kinfolk but you guys up there
in Colorado and Montana might
be on to something here.
The Accusump will pre-oil the car and your head
will wait one minute to
shut the car off or get the $80 TurboTimer things to
do it for you.
Since this Pre-Luber is in my own state I might be out that
way and stop
in their place sometime. Thanks, Jim.

RE: Team3S: oil pan baffles
Mr. B,
I have used the Accusump
product and it does work as advertised.
It will bring your engine up under
oil pressure before you start
it.
However it will do nothing to cool down
your turbos when you
turn
off the engine.
I am currently using
www.pre-luber.com because it saves
my
engine
and my turbos.
As we have discussed previously I can't afford
to melt any more
credit cards.
When I upgrade my engine and/or turbos I
want it to be on my
terms
not due to component failure.

Gear/Sprocket - same thing in
this case.
My only question is what to set them to. There aren't
any AWD dynos in my
local area so I'd have no idea how to set them
up.

Re: Team3S: Adjustable Cam Gears at a Great Price
Hmmm ---- They're both
toothed wheels, If it's driven by a belt or
chain it's a sprocket if it's
driven by another sprocket it's a gear.
It's the thingies on the end of
the cam the timing belt turns.
Good price also --- Steve is beginning to
piss me off, every time I
make a payment on my credit card he has a special
on something
I want.
The issue with the cam gears is knowing how much
you want to
change the cam timing relationship --- it can make a difference
but
I don't think there's a very big data base out there on where to set
them.

I was joking there, Jim. Cars for the track
are always wanting to take
weight OUT of the car. The Pre-Luber is
noted as about 10 pounds for
the turbo pre-luber.

Any quick tips on changing the oil feed
line for the
front turbo. Is it always required to remove the
serpentine
belt and if so are special tools required
to reinstall the belt? The bbok is
very unclear on
this point.

The
belt will need to come off. The A/C compressor needs to be
unbolted
from its frame, and the compressor mounting frame itself needs to be
removed
to allow the hard line to be removed/replaced.
Is there
something wrong with your feed line? It is usually the return
lines
that have problems (if any).
Make sure you use new copper crush washers
on all the feed line connections
at the banjo fittings.

Subject: RE:
Team3S: Oil line, front Turbo
I just changed my oil today and noticed the
oil drips/stains underneath
on the oil pan. I looked up and think it is
coming from the return oil
line from the front turbo. Is this
common? Now that I look at it I
want to wrap it in insulation and heat
wrap tape and fun things like
that.
Also, I think the transfer case is
leaking at the seam but only under
hard idling or hard track use (I had to
idle high for 20 minutes so
sitting still like that it got to drip exactly 5
times on the ground).
The drops are like Budweiser and I don't know what
RedLine synthetic
tranny fluid is supposed to look like after 20k
miles. I'm not sure if
it was possibly some oil that I spilled from
above that made its way
down to that side of the engine.
... and I
thought the top side of the engines were crowded but up around
the oil filter
and stuff is just as bad.
