The old spun a rod bearing trick
And this is why I loath these aftermarket companies. There’s probably 10% of them that should be in business. No warranty, no support? Was it an end tank that started leaking or did something crack? I’m really wanting to increase the cooling capacity and oil capacity. What kind of options are there?
For oil cooler, I went completely custom with a Derale 25 row core. MAP has a great kit (as mentioned above). I did buy a SPAL fan to bolt onto it, but haven't needed or used it (still in box).
I'm not sure when Radium changed the fuel hanger design but if it was before the 21st of October 2020 their new design will still need a surge tank.
Good to hear that there's plenty of cooling from the factory setup. Summers out here are hot a humid. With both of us driving, the car gets very little cooldown.
For the oil cooler fan, adding an inline thermal switch would be pretty easy and would only run when needed.
Did you happen to take any pictures of your JUN oil pan before you installed it?

Just cut out the factor fender liner vents more, that will give the cooler more airflow. The oem liner only has one side with holes. Here is before and after of mine:
In fact, later he puts in the comments that it was a nightmare trying to fit it. Last edited by razorlab; Jul 3, 2021 at 08:53 AM.
I replaced the section with a wire mesh a while ago when I replaced that inner fender well. Not sure if it helped.
When rebuilding the 4b11t what are things that need special and what parts can be reused? For example, piston failures are not excepted until 500hp and 9k rpm.

if you fuel starve (ie exiting a corner on power), will that be a "true" lean scenario that causes lean scenario and knock, or would the engine just pull timing/stop?
i remember years ago top gear did a 1-gallon race with supercars until they ran out of fuel... a very expensive test if it actually caused the motors to go lean

I would imagine that "supercars" do not have this issue. MHI decided to use this tiny little tank without a sub-tank pickup area, and a hump going to the passenger side. There is a venturi that pulls fuel from there, but not enough when there isn't a good place to PUT the fuel once it is sucked over (from the factory).
i mean regardless of starve per se, any car will reach a point where there's no more fuel picked up (the top gear bit ran them until totally empty) - what then? mass lean to detonation?
I guess the short answer is that running out while idling versus running out under high load determines if damage will occur. It isn't good for ANY car to run out (and hence go lean) under load. The pics razorlab posted are a great example of the mayhem that occurs!
