Sheepers latest Ms75

That's a weird one, if it's easy to get the oil pump off, perhaps could try shimming the spring on the relief valve and see if it makes a difference?


This is the sort of oil pressure spread I get with V6 motor (just before it shit itself, one of the times it shit itself) 

Dont get 30psi until around 3000rpm, dont get to 60psi till 6000ish so I'm not sure if you'd see this problem (or not problem) become evident by running the motor and idling it.

[sheepers]

The pump is already shinmed as per the deemed  7M oil pump modifications 

[ajg193]

I doubt it is the filter, they bypass at something low like just a couple of PSI across them.

[Roman]

Unless you had the filter plumbed up backwards, wouldnt it be doing nothing? 

As its just an anti drain back type thing? 

[ajg193]

They have the anti drainage valve and a bypass valve at the other end, usually will bypass if filter is blocked or you are at reasonably high RPM. Apparently oil filters are actually only filtering the oil less than 20% of the time on most cars

Covers look spectacular!   I'm sure you've considered it bit have you got some sort of baffle on the bottom of the cover under the breather hole like the factory one  had?   I only ask because I  never put mine back in after  cleaning them up and sucked the better part of a litre of oil  out the little breather hole into the inlet before I realized what I'd done, don't spose it'd matter if it went into a catch can tho

 Cant wait to see this thing running

Cheers for the heads up. 

I have actually made the covers so they accept the factory baffle inside them so it will be exactly as it was from factory.

[Yowzer]

Holy shit those cam covers are lush!

[HighLUX]

Great turd polishing as always Mr Sheep

[Snoozin]

Power. 

[Roman]

Looks friggen awesome.  

[sheepers]

Honestly,  this is the best colour/polish aluminium/clear paint job I have ever done. 

Irl is pretty ace

[Roman]

Damn dude, you've knocked it out of the park with those covers! 
Looks incredible. Colour really suits it too.

Is 5M_GX designation a throwback to an HKS variant of the motor or something? 

I absolutely cant wait to hear this thing sing! 

What's left to do now?

[sheepers]

yea so HKS made an engine, or maybe dress up parts for an engine and they called it the 5M-GX. they were doing similar parts for the 4age (which was called a 5A-GX) at the time and the 4age stuff was fairly popular.

the 5m stuff, not so much. they made a turbo kit for a 5M which there is a tiny bit more info about, but there is nothing i could find on the interwebs about the 5M-GX except a couple of photos. 

i have no idea what they did as far as engine improvements or anything, i just found a picture on the internet and decided to copy it.  

cool story bro.

 

what's left is make some sort of ITB setup for this thing and a set of extractors. the extractors will be fairly easy but the ITBs could turn in to a bit of a nightmare. there is very little room around number 6 and the firewall has a hump in it that means i cant come out of number 6 in a straight line.

time will tell. 

 

[HighLUX]

Roman dave 3d printed ITB manifold plz

[BobbyBreeze]

I'll just leave this here. 

 

[sheepers]

That thing sounds fucking terrible.

Sounds like this...

Sounds like it needs some time spent on accel enrichment.

The flyby vid is sweet though!
