Default Anyone Added Piston Oil Squirters?

I have read this:

And this one:

Has anyone acquired new info? Not what blocks have them, just what it takes to install them.

Doesn't seem to cost too much for parts:

My question is why do you want these? What 928 engine failure could have been prevented by them?

Spraying oil directly on the rotating assembly has got to increase the windage/foaming/ejection problems.

I will be running boost on the stock internals, though I have invested in coatings, better EFI, etc, I would like to use the oil squirting to cool the pistons a bit. That will intern raise the threshhold for detonation. I have the crank scraper system (the full system) so I was hoping that would downgrade the additional windage issues the squirting would bring.

Thanks Rick. I looked at their page, and I don't see much info - only a paragraph or two and a picture.

From what I understand, the oil squirters in theory would cool the pistons a little bit....BUT they also squirt oil directly into the moving crankshaft assembly which just adds oil to that huge frothing cloud of oil that spins around the crank in the 1st place..... granted your scraper with should help with that problem.....

If your serious, just find a low # 87 block.....I have one..but its in my 928!

My block is already prepped and ready to assemble. This was a last minute thing that I think I should at least find out more about.

I don't know about the spraying at the crankshaft idea - its supposed to spray up at an angle from where the mains reside, which would, IIRC, miss the crank fillets most of the time if not all.

IIRC I have two pages, PM your email address if you'd like for me to send it to you.

Its funny that I called the guy that does my cylinder lapping down here, great guy, mike at motorworks, and he suggested I call 928intl. I just though it was funny.

Well, no luck down here. Rick - thanks for that PDF. Thats a DIY situation I am not sure I can do myself. I do LOTS of stuff, but screwing with my own block by the mains is something I don't know if I would want to do.
