Guy’s the oil problems have nothing to do with bearings, or certain cylinders… not that other problems don’t exist, but the oil problem is due to starvation. See here http://www.dalmotorsports.com/cars.asp click on “Oil Conditioning” 2nd paragraph under the picture.

Mikeh, if you are planning on someone else to do the install/labor for you, and since you are in the SF Bay area, you may want to consider the plug and play option offered by Comptech. They installed both an Accusump and oil cooler in Kip's right rear fender and it works fine. Very clean.

Otherwise, Andrie's offer would be great given his R&D in such matters.

And change the oil sender. It solved my gauge problem. HTH.

Once again, Rob - great info.

Thanks Hrant, but I like doing all the work myself.

I'm still curious about Andrie's passenger rear fender well installation... Seems promising.

If you have 3.0 motor, I would seriously consider accusump if you are:
1. Fast enough
2. run slicks. I mean full racing slicks not just R compound.

We toasted our motor at NSXPO 2003 at Sears Point from oil starvation. Burnt the rod bearing.

Full slicks are not going to do much difference in g loading as a shaved r-compound tire.

Todays tire tech on r-compounds are very similar to a full race slick. The slicks are just thinner, and lighter, and treadless. As far as treadwear and stickyness, they are not far apart.

If you are running full depth r-compound, I see your point.

Obviously you had not have any experience with true slicks. Going from R compound to true slicks is similar with going from street tires to R-compound.

Ask Kip Olson who I introduced the slicks to? Easily 2-3 sec faster than R compound. Even Hoosier!

Just as a hint: German mag "sport auto" did several tests with cars on different kinds of tires - including race slicks. These testes always include the maximum g force at a certain corner at Hockenheim short course. The best street tires are usualy in the 1.1 range, the R compounds (like these on the BMW M 3 CSL) around 1.3 and the race slicks above 1.5 g.
