I have been wondering what all is involved, labor-wise, and how much of it I could sanely tackle myself with my somewhat limited tools and mechanical capabilities.
The "parts-list" has been regurgitated over and over again, but I don't recall ever seeing a detailed write-up of the actual conversion procedure. Anybody know of one? I'd like to learn more about the oil tank installation, throttle cable setup, etc. |

If you're going to use the stock 6er tank, I can enlighten you a bit.
Oli lines are the biggest headache. You are undoubtly gonna want an exerrnal cooler (if you don't , your engine will (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ). Braided lines (or maybe some of them Teflon covered jobbies) are gonna require 2 AN to metric adaptors. One on the inlet to the tank, one on the engine...scavenge side. (Otto's got em')Even if you don't put on an ex.cooler, the AN lines will allow you to break into the lines at some future date.....after the engine gets too damn hot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Summit or Racers Warehouse (Wholesale?) for lines and fittings. The feed side is pretty straight forward. A rubber, 2 piece line is available. Tank to below the cooler...metric fittings. Otto's can do the cooler mod. The rubber line sold these days is almost the right length....just a bit long. As a result, it tends to wanna collapse/kink. Hose clamps (I use 3) will prevent this. Smart Camber sells a support to prevent this, also. You DON'T want this line to collapse durring high suction conditions. You also wanna take a look at an exploded view of the stock tank install. There are rubber isolators at the mounting studs....also at the feed line at the bottom, which doubles as a mounting point.....don't pass these up. The exploded view also shows all the stuff needed at the oil filter console. Vent the tank to a catch can. I put mine in the rear trunk. The oil tank WILL pump out oil while racin'. Peice of cake, eh? BTW, while I have the car up in the air, are there any specific pics you want? |
