Nice! I would purchase one.

Ditto! I’m ready! I’ll also be buying the UAOS

Congrats Skip!

What are your next steps on the UIDS before you release it for sale?

What are the criteria for a passing grade?

Congrats and thank you for trying to build a better mousetrap.

Great news Skip. It is wonderful to find people who are working to improve the 996 with innovative products to improve reliability.
I am looking forward to this coming to market. I have three 996s which I have UAOS for and looking forward to getting the UIDS for each vehicle also.

x2, throw me on the list.

Same. Will go well with my UAOS and I'll post updates from Sears Point (aka Sonoma Raceway)

Next step is to get it on a car that has consistent, documented, track related oil pressure issues..

pretty sure Jason ' Zbomb" is on deck for this

Jobyt,

That would be fantastic. Let us know if you are running the UAOS with the return pipe as well as how much oil you are running. Same with if you are running a deep sump!

Any data is good data!

Congrats to George and Skip for successful initial testing. I’m continually impressed with the transparency demonstrated from these guys… I have confidence that the trend will continue as they progress down the road to market and I think the support they are getting from the folks posting their interest in purchasing is great. I don’t forget, these guys are doing something hard, doing it in the open and competing against products that have been the “go to’s” - for better or worse depending on your opinion. They have invested their time and money to make these cars better - I hope the results continue to be positive and they see a well deserved big return on that investment.

I really believe developments like these can save engines - 10, 15, 25, 35, 45K engines from the destruction that occurs from oil starvation and for those of us who push the motors hard and don’t have a ton of money - the impact could be game changing.

Thanks guys and good luck going forward !

I need this in my life.

Remember...

You can always buy 2. One for the car and one to put on display in your living room as modern art. 😁

It would BY FAR the coolest, most baller looking race car part you can put on one of our engines (until skip and George decide to make an ITB kit… that could give the sump a run for its money)

I’m super vain - so I dig that kind of thing.

Thanks for asking . The criteria for a passing grade is absolutely "0psi oil pressure drops" under any circumstance. The oil pressure should follow RPM precisely with the only delta variance being temperature/viscosity..

These tests Pass


.Extreme braking from 100mph to 0 =Pass

12 high RPM pulls to 7300rpm =Pass

Dead stopped on Death Hill, nose up, full launch = Pass

High speed cornering on Clover-leaf i22-i65 = Pass

George and I had thought ahead and designed mounting holes in the floor of the UIDS v2.2 to mount baffles, swinging doors, or slosh plate if tests proved it was needed. I was finally able to produce a pressure drop on 40 mph hard switch-back tests at "Toes of the Dragon". ..

Toes of the Dragon switch-backs test= not Pass

So George will be machining a perforated slosh plate to mount 1 inch above the floor on 1 inch stands-offs in the pre-drill/taped holes..this was not totally unexpected.(although a gut punch at the time)..

Toes of the Dragon test = will be re-tested.....Please be patient
