I'm replacing the whole pump front cover, the seal around the sprocket is what let loose , I will check out the old pump for heat related failure.

I would venture to say the pull that it happen on didn't last more than 15 seconds maybe

 

I have run them dry over 9000rpms at the drag strip...dont know if you have anything hooked up to log oil psi...but if you do you would be able to see a surging each shift at high rpm

 

I currently do not log oil pressure, I'm sure the pick up can end up suckin up nothing at moments under full on acceleration which for obvious reasons is bad

 

Buchnerj, I guess you never heard my story about dealing with robi. What where you having done to the coilovers? If you were just doing a rebuild you should have asked. There are 2 very good company that do this.

 

Well, good news on the Robi front. He called me late today and said that he is going to replace the whole casing and refresh the whole coil over and ship it over night to me. Should be here late tomorrow if he finished today or early Friday at the latest.

I was worried for a little while because sometimes they fall behind on phone calls, and I hadn't heard back to even figure out how to pay for the repair costs. Having to ship it cross country over night isn't easy on the wallet either. Oh well. It will all be good by Friday.

Now the motor on the other hand....

What happened with your experience with them?

 

Well, in the end he made it right so no need to tslk about it on forums. I hope the engine situation resolves itself. Makes me weary of using them
for my future engine needs.

 

Well. The price on the rebuild wasn't too bad, but if it was a good bit more I would have definitely jumped on those Ohlins and sold the Robi setup.

Don't get me wrong, I like this KW3 combo and it handles great. Just hate to dump money into rebuilding coil overs when you could save a little more money, sell the set I have and give those a shot.

They look like a real quality product.

 

Lol thats definitely worth hanging onto

I'd help you out but I can't decide which one to get rid of... molestor island or ky **** lube... decisions, decisions.

 

Why is it not picking up oil in a straight line? I understand why in corners without a bigger, baffled pan but from WOT and rpm?

 

So if you had to choose between the following, which would it be?

Option A: http://www.full-race.com/catalog/pro...oducts_id=1018

Option B: Like new Nisei Intercooler, full pipes kit (short route), mini battery. All coated black.

I already have an aftermarket exhaust manifold, and intercooler and pipes, but all of the above would be an upgrade over what I have now. I already have one of these for the exhaust: http://www.lancershop.com/customer/p...4&cat=0&page=1 and A Greddy FMIC and Injen piping all around. I think both options are an upgrade. Assume that both packages are the same price, and you have to pick one.

 

I would go with the better intercooler......keep them charge temps down!

 

man tough choice.....i would leave them both - they are just to good to let go.

 

That and you can sell your current setup and recoup some cost.

 

i'll tell you what, i will take one for the team and delete "trav gives free handjobs" and replace it with "pissed off Pennsylvanians".

but North Park Glory Hole stays!

 

can we get a mod to delete some of the stupid tags like loca, local, meet, lancer, part?

We need more epic tags.
