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:

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
