a little bit
here you go how it is now
But i plan on making it forward facing throttle body
So is the motor completely toast? I would really like to know please cause thats crazy. What kinda oil pump was that?
thanks man! its been running prety good..
well maybe to good, i did a awesome 2nd and 3rd gear pull the about 5 min later idleing at a light it lost oil pressure, i shut it down instantly, towed it home, tore it apart and found this
do you think the underdrive crank pulley caused the oil pump failure?
I honestly think the underdrive crank pulley cause the oil pump to break. There are people with 4V and 2V cars running 700-800 HP on stock oil pumps with no problem. From all the engine builders I have talked to and research i have done, the underdrive pulley creates alot of stress on the oil pump causing gears to break. The only real crank pulley I have seen not break oil pumps is the Innovative West Pulleys.
My guess its the crank pulley because usually a Supercharger running off the crank pulley will put more stress on the Oil Pump than the turbo.
How large is the fitting on the oil discharge from the turbo?
I only ask because a guy on a local forum had an issue with the turbo oil drain not moving enough oil. I'd think this problem would be even worse with a high volume pump. Check out this thread. He ended up changing the drain fitting to -12 (3/4") and his issue was resolved. Might be worth looking into, to avoid a similar problem on your car. Here is a link to the thread in question:
