The built of my chassis has finally progressed to a point where I could assemble all the transmission oiling stuff. I am sure the oil will be terribly confused finding its way back into the case
Oil pick up and scavange filter with magnet
Electrical oil pump switched on at 113F, into filter from there to thermostat
Oil exceeding 180F will be routed to the oil cooler
Pressure control and distribution to the gear pairs
Excessive oil directly into case
Now I can bench the system. I need to find the sweetspot of spraying a good amount onto the gears and still flow some directly to the R&P. All at as low pressure as needed. Things I can play with is the nozzle size and spring pressure for oil pressure control. More to come.

Based on some Porsche racing transmissions I have seen, I like the idea to return the cooled oil through jets directly onto the gears - at least some of the oil...
To make sure I have constant pressure and therefore even supply to all those points, I designed a distributor block with build-in pressure regulator. Anything past 10-14psi (adjustable with washers) will return directly into the case, through the oil filler hole.
And yes, it is a fuel injection rail profile

Very nice!
Is that just a spring loaded ball check valve inside?

Halbug is that a whiteline sway bar you have on the backend if not can you tell me which it is, i need a set of sway bars front and back. |
This sway bar is part of the Mendeola rear axle kit. Not sure it will fit original trailing arms? |
It looks like the Sway-away bar just mounted with different weld-on mounting brackets. I have one listed for sale. Does your sway bar has a number stamped on it? I can look at mine to check for the number. |

| Ok thanks for the information. Do you plan on putting a scoop around the cooler the scoop could double as protection. |
