Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
Even if it doesn't add a single HP or make the motor last one extra mile, the mods you made are top notch in quality and detail.
Almost could be mistaken for a professional motorsports build.
Plus, peace of mind that you wont be blowing out o-rings. Overkill? Absolutely. But it's still top notch work.
Thanks, I don't have an Engineering degree to use in order to optimize designs, so I tend to go beyond what seems rational!
that's cool. I've also seen people tap and thread the pump and block, and use a larger line
The next challenge was dealing with the interference between the stock oil transfer tube and the ARP mainstuds, the main studs really wanted to occupy the some space.
Also I was nervous about the stories of the o-rings popping out...
I figured the best thing was to make a new oil transfer tube that solved those problems(hopefully).
I kinda' did it the hard way, started out drawing the stock oil tube in CAD.
3D printed the stock tube model in SLS nylon, then carved away the problem area.
After I had some reference models, I increased the tube inner diameter to match the inner oil passage diameters(Block and Pump), and designed new fittings with redundant o-rings to ensure a better seal into the pump and block. Then another SLS print to check fit.
When I was happy with the new tube and fitting design, I then fabricated the tube and fittings from seamless steel tube and round stock, adding an addition support bracket to ensure that the tube stays in place.
TIG brazing was used for the welding process followed up with a little black oxide coating.
You can see the progression here.
Overall, I feel good about the new transfer tube.
-Better flow
-Redundant o-rings
-Support bracket to limit movement
-Clears Main Studs
In the future, it would be nice to have the tube mandrel bent and maybe get better at TIG brazing. But I think it should work as intended.
So what's the veredict for us mere mortals? Dhim the m181 pressure relief spring?
This is what I've been thinking all along.What, no dry sump?
