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)

One must keep in mind that budgets for racers are typically tight. The CB pump has worked well in every race condition we've exposed it to (when properly plumbed). We've examined the bearings on several hi-strung E-& F-Prod engines using the pump and they looked good enough to reinstall, even on one engine that had 300+* oil temps and multiple missed shifts.
A plus for the CB pump is no belt to fly off. A minus is no multi stage scavenge or crankcase vacuum. For the racer or AX guy who is faced with oil starvation and a mulit stage drysump system will sap his tire bill for thenext two years, (or the babies diaper money, or the house payment) the CB pump is a great option. We will continue to use ours until Jake finishes development of his improved version. Using this style pump we have no belts whatsoever on our car and a big stove pipe shoved through the firewall right up to the fan shroud, which would be tough to do with belts. I still maintain that real race cars don't have doors, I don't give a damn what SCCA says. I race a car with doors, (I don't use them) but I don't pretend it's a real race car. Real race cars began as a clean sheet of paper and were designed for racing from the get-go. Want to see some real race cars? Click on the link. http://www.ismasupers.com/ |
