the stages refer to how many points the scavenge pump is pulling oil from, therefore having even more control over the oil. More control, more rpm. Thats a very basic explination.


Blake, any more info on that 11k rpm motor setup? that sounds like a good read.

Thanks man

Dude, Holy crap again. Every time I see an update in this thread I wipe the drool up from my lip and say Holy F**king Crap. That first pic kinda tripped me out but everything seems to be coming together awesome. Mind explaining the differences between the two pan/pumps? They look almost identical does the one on the left have the ability to push more oil or is it stronger?

Made a parts run to cali Monday and picked up a majority of the aero for the car. The guys at DTM Fiberwerkz make some quality parts, much nicer than some of the bigger brands. I picked up LB style flares, carbon side splitters, carbon front splitter, carbon trunk lip, and a carbon full replacement roof(first in the states)

I left everything wrapped in foam to keep it protected, but pulled out the dash because i couldnt resist

Clean and simple with a nice weave

I also stopped by extreme dimensions and got some cheap shit aero. Front m3 fenders which are such bad quality i cant even try using them, some random e92 polyurethane bumper, and a carbon roof wing.

So now all thats left for aero on the car is m3 plastic side skirts, and oem m3 front bumper. As well as oem steel fenders.

I was supposed to recieve my motor parts from RHS/Comp yesterday but when I went to the shipping hub, FEDEX lost the crate and had no idea where they were. They luckily found them in Tuscon AZ and I got them today. This shipment included my RHS block, RHS 291cc heads, front cover, rockers, cam chain set. I wanted to make a run to Havasu to drop all the stuff off with Ben at EFIU yesterday but that didnt work so ill do it next week

James is also working on mounting my wilwood pedals with a machined fixture so they can be moved slightly

Monday i'm making a run down to check on the car and bring some more parts. He's mounted the quickchange, and will be working on getting the wisefab on as well as fuel cell mounting so stay tuned!

So fire

[BlakeOlsen]

18 Fab is buckling down on the car to get more progress knocked out quick. In the meantime, I'm still getting parts together as well.

My Dailey engineering billet pan/pump showed up at EFI University as well as my ATI Damper...

Pictured is my 5 Stage pump(right) next to Ben's 6 stage setup for his 11k+ rpm LS

My Lunati 4" Signature series crank showed up

My forged rods did as well, but I decided pay the extra (3x the price) and upgrade to full billet rods. As much money as i'm throwing at this motor, I don't want a weak link. The oil pan/pump was nearly $4k alone with a discount

Same day, my Seibon carbon hood showed up. It's an oem M3 style hood

I'm sitting at the airport now in Oklahoma typing this, my dad and I had to fly back here for some cancer treatment stuff for him, but we scheduled this around the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals, an indoor dirt track race that's going on all week. We've always wanted to attend so it was a cool way to turn around a shitty situation.

This coming week, he and I will be driving to california to pick up a lot of the other body parts and roof for the car so expect an update soon.

[SebastienPeek]
