 Fantastic info on this topic m8... :yes

 I was lost reading this thread initally with you both, but spent a few hours today with Ant on his car and it makes sense now....

 It\'s a pretty good Mod, even aesthetically pleasing as well... :p

Its quite a good mod. I was going to get the Feed kit but to be honist if you are prepaired to mess about a bit you don\'t need it.

There is a OMP mod as well so it will run with the LTX8, thats easy as well just a bit of messing about getting it correctly set.

Omp mod.

I have to admit i\'ve not mastered this one.

Basicly take the OMP, The motor part of the pump (round black bit) is held on by 3 screws.Pull the motor off & you will see how the thing works.It travels around 1/2" from fully closed to fully open.I usually stack some washers in there so it is stuck at around 1/3 open.You can go to about 1/2 but it will blow some smoke & you usually will have to bring it back to around 1/3 to stop the smoke.
This will give the engine plenty of oil so you will have no reliability problems at all, and you won\'t need to keep the std EMS to run the OMP (no wiring needed).

This is one i picked up recently from Jon at RX Engineering (Cheers mate) if you see this.

Does this OMP mod give you enough oil at high rpm. ?,  the other option is the series 4 front cover with the mechanical OMP set up.
More money and effort:(

I have only recently done the OMP mod myself but the guy who told me about it does this alot.

Jon is MR Microtech, he had alot to do with the development and is one of there Biggest Outlets in Austraila.

Then your in the same boat as the Electric one? (you cant control it)

I\'m still running my new engine in but in a few weeks i\'ll check the flow rate of the OMP and compaire it to the stocker at WOT.

it has a rod from the throttle linkage to a little lever that increases the oils as you accelerate so you shouldnt need to control it.

Have you run any times in yours yet?,

also,  whats an extended port?  is it a streetport with a longer tail, hence the overlap?

[Grizzly]

Ok, I used to have a S4 omp with a 2 stroke mod. As you say you have to change the cover which involves Sump off etc, if you are not rebuilding your engine at the sme time as Fitting a Microtech its not realy an option.

My car has never been on the strip on track, i have never had the right Wheel/Suspension set up to do it Justice.

Extended port is the proper name for a Street port, The Street port was Tag\'d by Tuners becouse its best for the "Street" Bridge becouse it needs a Bridge for the Corner seal to run on etc.

I am progresivly getting more dareing with every rebuild, my extended port started off quite small and is now what i would call big (not masive but a nice size). BTW it went a bit bigger after the US forum told me it was still small:rolleyes:

Why have you removed the OMP? There is a Mod for that too you know;)

My Spec seems to be getting changed and messed about alot at the moment.

I don\'t know where to start, I have a T2 with a fair size extended port(with 500miles on it) it has Fd oil reg Bafled etc etc, Baby 60-1,Microtech LTX8S,Inovative Wideband,Profect B2,4x1000cc\'s,Aero Fuel reg,2xSkyline pumps(soon to go dont like having the risk of one packing up)OS Twin plate Clutch and OS Flywheel,Fd Upper,OMP mod,Braded OMP and Oil cooler lines,Alloy rad and Ic in V-Mount(soon to be a Charge cooler),EWP,No emitions or Ps etc and the most stupid loud 3" exhaust you\'ve ever heard.

Cusco comp2\'s (which i have 3" ground to sill?) then just stuff like Polly bushings,Toe elim bushings,camber bar,sway bars,Uprated Diff/Engine/gearbox mounts,Braided lines and Hawk pads with sloted disks.

And thats my Vert, I have a Coupe which if it ever gets finished should be more fun;)

I know, i must be the only one that is elusive, its not alot to look at the moment though. needs a roof and a nice paint job.

Anyway i\'m not coming to play with you, I heard you got a Kia and a Big port yourself:eek: LOL

Nar i keep saying i\'ll come playing but i\'ll have to see Pip first, (Not to hot at setting it up as you can proberly tel by the new engine).

Problem is the Fd never had a Mechanical OMP so the Throttle has no space for it (unless you loose the Cruse control or somthing like that).

P.s. I need to read before i post, sorry if it don\'t make sence some times.
