Speaking of oil feed tube...

Wally, sorry if you've put that info somewhere, but which oil do you use in your engine?

I'm asking because there's much debate going on about zinc levels in modern oils. I'm reading some ricer forums and they're speaking about Brad Penn grade 1 20w50 as the best choice. Jake Raby also prefers that oil. Maybe we should make "oil thread" on GL...

I fully agree on the Brad Penn 20W50 as I also run the GT1 'racing green' in the engine. Its still called Kendall here though

But please not another oil thread... enough of those already.

Hi Walter,

I noticed a fitting on your sump extension ... I know which DS pump you are running so am guessing that this is the return for your turbo ? If not, what is it for ? Are you still using the Tilton scavenging pump ?

I'm trying to eliminate as many support systems as I can in my build right now, and this looks like a great solution for the turbo drain ... considering the 38mm scavenge circuit in the DS pump.

Unfortunately, I also have to upgrade the DS pump feed from a -8AN (12.7mm ID) to either a -10 (.625" / ~15.9mm ID) or even a -12 (.69" / ~ 17.5mm ID). More fittings .... more hose

Of course

Its a -12 hose I use, same as I use for DS pump feed from the front trunk. Better safe then sorry. I bought the Tilton, but have still never even used it...


Just today I did some work making the wastegate feed tubes from both pipes and still keeping them separate. Hope to have some updates at the weekend.

Very happy with the progress from today.







Only downpipe + silencer to sort, but the silencer from ebay still needs to arrive...
