So as many of you know my 2056cc motor is getting an overhaul due to an oiling issue. I was originally thinking that I would:
* modify my tuna can to give it more volume * finish my conversion to a single large vent at the chimney * run a 30mm pump (vs. 26mm) * baffle the case the way FAT does * move my cooler to the front bumper It's starting to seem like I would be spending close to the same amount as going the CB Performance dry sump direction. Think this is overkill for a 2056cc track/autocross car? I'm guessing it would cost me $600 total to relocate the cooler and go dry sump. |
