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:

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
