Oil spray bars

[Giles]

Hello all.

I'm building an 20XE with throttle bodies, 88mm Omega pistons, cams, etc and 100bhp of nitrous.

I have been building this engine to a very good specification to make sure it can take the 330bhp that will be produced.

My question is that for the Phase 4 for the LET you fit oil spray bars. Do you think that this would be good for my xe? I know pistons don't really need cooling but this maybe good when the NOZ is running. Also making sure there is lots of oil at the small ends must be a good idea?

I understand Regal do oil spray bars in the UK for the EDS phase 4. They tap jets in to the block, not spay bars. These jets open at 3.5bar. The oil is fed to them through the main bearing shells. Ash is this how you do it in Germany? Don't you risk oil starvation/reduced pressure to the crank under high revs?

Thank you for any information.
Giles

Yes, Chris from Regal does the same modifications on the Phase4 blocks like we do in Germany.
You can also use this in your XE-engine, but then I would take a bigger oil-cooler!

Hi !

@All UK people : There is a massive technologie transfer between EDS-Fahrzeugtechnik GmbH and Regal Autosport UK , so we teached each other the good things for our business like the oil spray cooling system for the LET engine and we have a perfect relationchip !

So you can trust Regal in any case , if something is unclear , Chris is calling me directly , and min. 3 times a week we talk to each other about problems , news or new developments !

Every month we have a personal visit , this time we go to the UK and stay for 5 days to see London !

This will go on in the future !

best regards to the UK from ASH
