Don't know what happened with all that baloney before, ..........but now.......... .....if you go to Cosworth USA's home page ........... http://www.cosworthusa.com/ there are some intersting articles there. ( I'm interested in what they say about block honing tips on there ) But check out '2008 EJ2557B Component Development." ........ http://www.cosworthusa.com/blog/default.asp?idpage=16 and there is your monster turbo EJ25 on a dyno at Cosworth. I didn't see any preformance numbers though so far. But put that in yer Vanagon ! and darn.............they have a nice dry sump system ( link on the first page to it ) ...... but the gilmer belt-driven scavanage pump is mounted where the AC compressor normally would be. Gotta have AC for a high end West Caost Syncro Subaru Westy. I wonder how much current an electric scavange pump would draw, if such a thing could work. And their machined nearly flat sump with oil line connections on it looks great too, for their dry sump system. it's fitted on the engine on the dyno too it appears. I've been thinking of a belt-driven oil scavenge pump for a Subaru dry sump system for quite a while too....... perhaps there is still a way to mount one, drive it by belt, and keep Alt, PS, and AC in a Subaru or zetec vanagon.
