This may have been covered already, but if not, toss a "heads up" here when this will be airing, even if its not a T4, its gonna be fun to watch aircooled beat up on water pumpers.

Good job guys... That car is a work of art and it came together so quickly. Any chance this thing will be campaigned at drag strips?

Question about all the plumbing. Looks like a belt-driven oil pump. What is it really? |

Yes, We will be campaigning the 550 at Drag events, autocrosses and even some road course events in the future... With a swap of gearing and tires the car will be a multifaceted race vehicle.
The oil system does utilize a belt driven 3 stage massive dry sump oil pump... Its used for many purposes, primarily to keep up with the open clearances inside the engine and to provide a fully evacuated crankcase with negative crankcase pressure (vacuum) the engine is apart for repair and further development. 300HP N/A is just around the corner- it made 244 with less cam and only 8.6:1 CR on pump gas.... I have 7 cams to swap into it over the next couple of months. |
