What stage pump are you going to be using? On our race car we run a 4 stage pump which scavenges two from the sump pan and then one from the back of the head. We are still using internal draining, though really the ideal would be to weld up all the oil returns and just let that one scavenge do the returning as that would avoid windage induced from oil draining right into the cranks vacuum trail. Has John considered doing something like that already?

Interested in answer to this...

Here is a detailed Vid on how the merge of the wastegate pipe will be down. You need to listen to it with full volume and listen to what John has to say.

Always wondered about the advantages of something like that, following the direction of the turbine wheel/exhaust gas rotation.

The further this build goes the more impressed I am with the thought going into it.

Inducing swirl and/or taking advantage of it is very common in fluid dynamics and effective. Clever.

I am running a 4 stage pump, and yes the ideal way would be to weld the oil drains up , and we did not weld it however we have used bungs for all exept the ones on each ends of the head.

Ok,

The latest is the merge is getting cut up to form the shape that John had said on the Vid above i should be able to get some more pics on it tomorrow.

The next step is to install all the Motec system i have done some work in installing it, will get some pics up tomorrow. The other thing i am installing is the zeitronix E85 sensor to determine the concentration of Ethanol.

I should also get some pic of the bottom end as this has been completed.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
