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)

Fred the reason I recommend running the cooler the way you currently have it routed and not as part of the drysump plumbing is that the hot oil exits the pump, thereby heating the pump. If you return the oil to the pump from the tank then send it to the cooler (using your present routing) you will send cooler oil to the bearings than if you passed the cooled oil back through the heated pump.
We run a 12 qt tank, which we fill about 3/4. Kevins bracket looks good to me. Kevin I thought you only had two bolts holding yours on. Glad it's really three. When looking at the first photo Kevin posted my bracket looks like his, but I welded a vertical piece of angle to the passenger side of the horizontal angle that bolts in at the original bracket upper mount boss. I first slotted the vertical piece so the pipe nipple passes through it. Kevin send me an e-mail when you get back. I want to hear your oiling ideas and bounce some ideas off you. |
