I've got mostly bad news as the new oil pump is not a direct bolt on. It requires welding and possibly the Hydra EMS as one of the exhaust cam position sensors is in a different location. The pump itself is better for sure and I'll get more into it after I test but since I have a Hydra we are moving forward with it since I can alter the reference angles and if I have to I can run the exhaust cams in "open loop."

I'll post some pictures and more details about the pump a little later.

Stay tuned,
Phil Grabow
