Power steering is also gone - just use the manual (unassisted) steering box from the Scorpion model.

Steering effort is fine just a little heavy at parking speed but not excessive.

Interesting that you don't run the P/S set up at all. I have Barney's Scorpion track car now (Scorpion King), but still run the PS unit.

I would love to lose the weight, cooler, lines, etc associated with it, but have been told that they become very heavy with an unassisted set up.

i have removed mine as it was leaking, only problem is when your doing 3point turns, once moving all ok, on gravel dont notice and and on tarseal i think you get more feel.

Well the TC is in and now the fun starts of putting all the bits and bobs back together and wiring up the new ECU. Should have the turbo back this week and then all the pipework can hook up and plumb in the thermostat and and and and........

Sorry just picked up on this question to which the answer is "I dont know " LOL

It was done while the motor was being built but I never saw it before it was fitted. What I can tell you is the sump was cut at the deep end forward of the crossmember and 'ears' welded in that run as deep as the original sump. Internally I have no idea other than I am told it has had baffles and a windage tray added.

Seems to have added a litre to the volume of the sump.

OK, we're getting very close - should be all done this weekend and off the MRC for the ECU wire up, start up and tune. Must say I have a migraine after all this. :?

This weekend should see the final intercooler piping in, the thermostat hooked up and a tidy up of some wiring.
