Ahh, yes, that rings a bell.
Will have to have a re-read later.
I like SM, very genuine nice guy.

Synthetic media filters can have some advantages particularly if running high ethanol content fuels. The typical off the shelf Ryco cellulose filter will absorb water and can go into bypass fairly easily, whereas the synthetic media filters don’t really absorb the water. Then again in some instances you may want to catch the water in the filter and just change out the filter. Just you never know when you’re in bypass.
Either way those Ryco ST filters can be pretty good value for money.

Probably not so much of an issue with a race car, I'm sure they get more frequent oil and filter changes.

As Immortality mentioned, the filter gets changed very frequently, after every race meeting.
I will use the Z9ST ryco filter.

I've been staring at this picture for a while now and am struggling to understand how this doesn't wreck the crank and valve train with no balancer?
Any one have any ideas how this would survive?

Also, I have a large amount of updating to do, I have all the parts now to finish this project with exception of the belt. The pump is dummied up to the old block, the tank is mounted in the rear of the car, pics to follow.

I'm the director of VSH (Vlad's Spec Holden), because HSV were doing it ass about.
Re: Ecotec V6 Dry sump
Yep, they offer a power steering pump adapter to run off the rear. It makes it a nice setup
