I have found small oil coolers with a fan for $100, but the electric pumps are expensive. My plan is to either find a cheap electric pump, or try and use the ring gear as a pump. The tricky part about the second option is it's hard to test. Can a cheap fuel pump be used to pump gear oil?
The intent here is to cool the oil and send it to the upper bearings so my 901 lasts behind a V8. |

Hmm, I do have the power steering pump from the firebird still. OOh, didn't some MR2s have electric power steering pumps? $30 from pick-n-pull.. that's what I'm talking about! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |
