    Why no brake booster Jeremy, is it because or running seperate masters?

    Also i dont see any extra oil return from the head to sump as most of the guys reckon is needed. Any mods done in that regard?



    P.S Kedders sorry for thread jacking

    Our driver reckons he can brake better without the booster.

    Not sure on the extra oil return what's the benefit?
    Sorry not something we had heard about.

    Cheers

    So you guys never had the oil pooling in the head issue, i'll try and see if i can find the thread that argued that point.

    Well if its conqured Bathurst i don't think theres a need for it.

    HI Neale when i built the motor i had a plug put in the oil feed journal at the back of the block then drilled a 3mm hole this reduced the amount of oil going to the head giving it enough time to drain and we dont fill the catch can in fact have not had any oil in the catch can in 7 race meetings including one at bathhurst also no bearing failures this was a lot simpler than trying to fit extra oil returns

    Heres a grave dig, Im in Brisbane and I just bought this sa63 with the 3sfe pictured in post 1. Anyone know any more about it? It had map sensor unplugged, and a few other interesting things. Its a low build number, under 500.
