Rharris19... what was the end result of last years build? what did you do? how was it routed?

good info for rear mounts.

This will be happening after our 24 hour Chumpcar race in May. We were waiting to see how we did at this February 11/12 Lemons race and since we came in 2nd, we are waiting until after the 24 hour straight race. If something fails miserably, then we can fix it overnight if at a 2 day race.

And what setup are you running? Any pictures?

I find it very appropriate that Kurt revived this thread.

Good day braineack.

Check post dates... I have revived nothing. Sorry.

a 1 month slumber...

then please accept my apologies. i will lurk elsewhere.

Now you've hurt his feelings.

No. my feelings arent hurt. Just walking on eggshells. Dont want to get banned for getting "uppity". there is a lot of information here and a lot of decent members whose opinions I respect, so I would like to stay as long as possible, and that means eating .... sandwiches with a tip of my hat and a smile.

boy there is an undercurrent here that I don't understand

Not my idea but apparently it did work.
Nissan 200SX diff oil cooler pump and oil cooler to circulate the oil.

Damn, that's exactly what he wanted. No excuses robert, get 'er done.

After the May race it will be done. That is an awesome find for the 200SX diff pump for an oil pump. The intake track will be made of 2" pvc and will be glorious.

that turbo also died in that location from too much heat.

You mean all that heat trapped in a small confined area was bad for it? Get outta here.

The way I will do it will have it up and in the air. All of the oil supply equipment will be in the trunk.

Just a quick one for this and I'm not resurrecting as its a statement.
The turboot on a 5 was first done by my friend and posted on here with mocking about spool time and other such unhelpfulness well over three years ago. His worked fine for road up until the oil line snagged on his drive and killed the turbo. He ran the oil from the engine which was clearly not the best solution although driving it was no more laggy than a Subaru.
As a project it's fun but the hole in the boot means no shopping after you have done it. Measure twice, cut once

Here is a very viable option for pumping oil. I discovered this at one of my customers today, and what I've seen is that it is used for oil, not coolant.

Looks liek some "bearing straight gold", jerry-rigged ---- going on right there.

That's straight from the factory ---- right there.

:rofl::rofl::rofl: Have you never looked at a lemons car up close before? That describes 95% of the pack to begin with

this is off topic, but when they talk about how much money they have into those "dredges" it 100% blows me away. aside from the one with the excavator on it (Christine Rose?), not a single one of the "boats" they feature has anything even remotely approaching what i would call common sense. no indicator lights, automated anything... and everything seriously looks like it's held together with duct tape and wood screws everywhere. how have none of them died on camera yet?

hey, don't dis ducK tape, baling wire, or cable ties

That would describe a lot of people on here :rofl:.
