Probably sucking from the sump and then feeding into the front of the main oil gallery that the pump would. Then oil flow can just continue as per normal. Looks like a good setup! Just make sure you get some anti run off guides for the pulleys to keep the belt from ever jumping/running off.

Yeah I was thinking this too. Looking at the pump pulley and thinking it looked weird, then noticed the belt could potentially just slip off. LOL

There really are only pro's for having one. Who needs or wants air con anyway?

we live in australia where it regularly gets to 35c for weeks on end, who on earth can drive around in traffic without it? I guess if you have no issue rocking up with sweat patches over your entire upper body to work it isn't a real issue though.

I barely use the bloody thing. Only ever hit the AC button to demist windscreen or to make sure the bloody seals in the pump didn't get stuck and die.

Now that I've had issues with the ViPEC never letting me turn it off, I've taken the solenoid out for the pump anyway lol

I guess the aircon is a problem for alot of people who are used to modern day comforts.

However, if you are building a wild car/engine, such as the one in this thread then its really not that important. Having a near bulletproof oiling system that can handle stupid amounts of abuse is :banana:

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
