OMG, this would be so frustrating for you if all your issues is linked to a faulty OEM fuel pump!

Thanks! Hopefully the hard lessons we're learning now will help everyone avoid them in the future.

I took a look and I found these. Sorry, not very good pictures.

Unfortunately, I do not have pictures of the oil cooler with the shrouding on it.

I can't find a picture with the Meth injection. I'll take a pic tomorrow at work if I remember.

Yes, the oil cooler system is ours. Yes, we will be selling an oil upgrade kit when it's ready (gotta fund the race program somehow hehe). I still need to go in there an make revisions to make it better as it does not meet my standards for production parts. We had 2 races on back to back weekends and I only had a few hours to put this together so I had to rush it and just make it work. I also was extremely tired from lack of sleep so my brain was not working at 100% capacity.

Your company is exactly what guys like me need! Go on, hurry up with your production of all these things!

Honestly, at this point, it'd be a great relief for me if it is the fuel pump. I'd be so happy to not deal with this issue anymore and actually spend time improving the car instead of fixing it.

I've expected to run into issues here and there. It's part of developing a race car especially a new platform. The frustrating part is not being able to figure it out. That part keeps me up at night.

I am having the same problem with my car, my car is going in to get the fuel pump replaced tomorrow. Your fuel pump is deffinetly bad, search my posts and you will get the info you need. Good luck, get to the dealer fast there is a big shortage of new style pumps

Man, I sure hope it's the fuel pump. Thanks for the post!

Assuming they have the new pump in stock, you might be on a waiting list..Hope they can get you one on time for the event.
