What about a crank scraper to pull the oil off the crank that leaks through the rod bearings?

This is my daily driver(i know im a bit crazy) so under long engine run periods the oil that runns off the crank can help to stabilize crank temperature. Especially if an external oil cooler is used like i am going to. | | | 08-27-2016, 06:53 PM | #18 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | I've been playing with the silver car a lot lately, but I'm back on the engine build. Pistons are ordered and being made, should have them in a few weeks. Started mapping the ecu and coming up with a few methods of controlling boost on both the turbo and supercharger. But I cannot test until its running. As for the stock engine in the black car i thought I found the line but turns out i melted the pcv valve and burnt the plugs. So i had to redesign the pcv system and hope thats what took the plugs out. Currently running on stock engine with 180k 10psi boost (dasc) + 2shots nitrous ( 75 low and 200 highend) | | | 09-01-2016, 03:11 PM | #19 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | Received the pistons, so i started weighing parts to ballence the lower end | | | 09-05-2016, 11:26 PM | #20 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | So, to make a long tube turbo header i didn't want to tie up my car for weeks test fitting, so this happened. Now i have a test fit engine bay in my basement. And because the block was junk i also have a test fot block to weld off of | | | 10-09-2016, 09:25 PM | #21 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | Test fit bay finished now to fit the turbo and start fabing the header | | | 11-24-2016, 02:36 AM | #22 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | So i decided to run the ebay turbo kit for a while so i can get some tuning done while i build the long tube top mount header. Also got the block back for the last time, rotating assembly has been race ballenced and most of the parts are in. I'm also trying to make a s85 electric oil pump run the oil cooler system, i had looked into a dry sump setup but, im running very short on engine bay space. Not to mention, pretty pricey. And im already pretty deep on a motor i may blow. But it will be fun either way | | | 12-04-2016, 05:30 PM | #23 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | Mostly finished the adaptor block for the s85 oil pump. And the oil pan should be back from the welders monday. Ive been playing with locations for the oil cooler. Still not sure yet | | | 12-05-2016, 04:21 PM | #24 | Member Join Date: Mar 2016 Location: Cedar Park Posts: 65 | Crazy build, definitely subbed! Is that the fitment of the OBX manifold?

Now im thinking ill need to turn out an aluminum version of the back plastic water pipe. If that goes well i may try and make the side one too Last edited by andakn; 12-14-2016 at 05:46 AM. | | | 12-15-2016, 04:01 PM | #29 | Member Join Date: Mar 2016 Location: Cedar Park Posts: 65 | new engine build. dasc + turbo +2kits nitrous + methanol Looking good man! If the aluminum water pipe works out well keep the schematics, I know a lot of people would be interested in buying one my self included!

Someone needs to fab up some aluminum water pipes and make a fortune on this site! | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
