Oiling problems on sharp turns, Whats your oiling solution? Options

[JPB]

Talking to some track dudes some have said they gave up driving T4s due to loosing to much oil on the track and no matter how big the Acusump was, they still burned out bearings. What is your solution to this problem? THNX (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

No issues with the cooling fan. We use a Vanagon shroud, but the 914 shroud will clear as well. The factory mount brackets that bolt to the case do have clearance issues, however. Kevin Groot uses this pump on his E-Prod car and I believe he fabbed his alternate mount from a piece of angle iron that mounts with the bottom two bolts and sits direclty on the cross bar. I made a similar mount, but I welded a brace that uses the upper passenger side mount bracket bolt boss. I had to mill a slot in the bracket for a pipe nipple to pass through to the pump. I wanted the extra support, though Kevin has had no issues with his bracket. I made one of these for Tom Burdge and he reported no issues with it. If you needed one we could produce it for you.
You will not be able to retain the OE rubber mounts. But I believe the early 914's had rubber mounts outboard instead of inboard at the engine, so perhaps you could use that set-up if you don't want to hard mount the drivetrain. I'm not 100% sure about this as nearly all of my 914 experience (beyond the engine) has been with race prepped cars, mostly our own.
