I would think an 044 pump should take care of it.

thanks Karl!!

Either the 044 pump, which isn't a direct fitment or use the Mercedes Bosch pump which is a direct fitment.

I'm using the Mercedes pump and larger 55# Deutchwerks injectors on my 383, plenty of fuel to be had...

odurandina

thanks Doc,

are you talking about something like this?

docwyte

No, it's from a '70's Benz. It's the one Lindsey Racing sells.

UPDATE!!

C&R wanted a ludicrous amount of money for a radiator (over $2000!) so we started looking at oem suppliers.

Ended up going with an auxiliary radiator from a 2004-2007 Audi S4 V8. Going to be V mounted on the passenger side and ducted from the grill and fog light with one of my 11" Spal fans on it.

Drivers side will have a 11*13 Setrab oil cooler V mounted along with my existing PS cooler, ducted the same way and with my other 11" Spal fan.

Main radiator is getting shrouded and my 16" Spal fan.

Then two more hood louvers on the center line behind the main radiator.

Lastly, (something I'm quite excited about) is installing an adapter so I can go back to my factory 951 brake master cylinder and rear proportioning valve. That'll give me back proper pedal stroke and brake bias. That'll make modulating the brakes so much easier and brake bias proper...

The fabricator at the shop finished his last project and should be on mine tomorrow. Hoping to pick it up September 25 or 26...

Very cool Doc. Make sure they take pics of the progression so we can use your ideas. very interested to see what the come up with. Will they be mounting them from the bumper support?

V2Rocket

****, for $2000 I'd just cut the front structure of the car off and run 2 951 radiators in parallel, side by side

docwyte

Eric, they'll be mounted behind the bumper support, top end tilted back. That way they're somewhat protected.

Yeah, I about choked when I heard the quote for the C&R radiator. To be honest I always wanted to go with an OEM one, just much easier to replace if I need to...

odurandina

got one more question;

for future ref;

does anyone know the exact capacity of Eric Hill's LSx swap oil pan?

docwyte

Not sure, mine is a very early example and I know he made changes since mine has been built.

Pretty sure it holds 8 quarts tho

odurandina

thanks!

Well the project that was ahead of mine in the shop is finally completed so my car can get worked on.

Here's what's getting installed...

Auxiliary radiator from a 2004-2007 Audi S4 V mounted in the passenger side, ducted from the fog light and grill

11x13 Setrab oil cooler V mounted on the drivers side ducted from the fog light and grill

2 hood vent/louvers directly behind the radiator to create a suction pulling through the radiator

Removing the dual 11" Spal radiator fans and replacing them with my single 16" Spal fan

Installing the 951 Master Cylinder and hydroboost adapter

Hopefully that takes care of the water temperatures and also gives me back proper brake bias and brake pedal stroke.

Really hoping to get the car back no later than this coming Friday so I can hit the track next weekend...

docwyte

951 Master cylinder is mounted, had to turn around the coil pack on cylinder #6 to make clearance for the reservoir. Also had to do some work on the hard brake lines. Apparently they'd been "modified" when the Ford Hydroboost was installed 5-6 years ago...

Swapped the two 11" Spal fans for my 16" Spal fan.

Next up is mounting the S4 auxiliary radiator and side mounting the new oil cooler, then putting in the two hood louver vents...

Xaerran

You make it out this weekend?

odurandina

has anyone ever done a larger heater radiator, then ducted out the passenger rear window?
