If anyone needs one of these pumps, we have one we are no longer using. It saw about 2-3 hours of use max last year, and being that we built our own dry sump this year, we no longer need it. I got mine from westech, and think it was around $250 or so. any resonable offers will be considered. please email me back if you are in need of an almost new pump and don't want to shell out $250 for it. thanks Dave Schumpert Virginia Tech Formula SAE engine team At 12:47 PM 4/21/99 edt, you wrote: >Gary, > The pump is a 'Shurflo' distributed by Westech (512-847-8918) >used by NASCAR for circulating rear-end lube,..among other tough jobs. > The problem of oiling at idle is mostly because the dynamic oil seals >in the turbo require a certain rotation speed of the shaft to be >effective ,...and depending on turbine A/R it could be spinning too >slow.
