Wow that is sweet and at first I thought the engine was backwards. I'm used to looking at dsm motors. Haha

Re: Insane tube evo
 

I love the front-mount turbo you can see in the bumper instead of an intercooler.

Re: Insane tube evo
 

looks brand spankin new. Still got that new car smell.

Re: Insane tube evo
 

Fuking clean, LOVE all the carbon fiber doo-dads (shifter, pedals, etc) but POS DOESN'T EVEN HAVE CUP HOLDERS!

Re: Insane tube evo

Albert (dv/dt) makes them for Magnus. I have a ton of respect for the guy. He's got a MechEng degree from the Univ of Chicago and his dad owns a machine shop, so he's got a ton of machining experience too.

Holy craptizzle, that is pretty sick.

Re: Insane tube evo
 

Damn, thats fucking awesome.

Re: Insane tube evo
 

Fuck yeah, that thing is sweet!

Re: Insane tube evo
 

Very nice, can't wait to see this thing in action.

Re: Insane tube evo
 

A billet front cover... I never thought I'd see the day.

Re: Insane tube evo
 

I think one might be actually a wastegate for launching purposes. Kinda like how Rau's setup is. A wastegate on the charge tube. Maybe not though after looking at the other pictures.

Re: Insane tube evo
 

Wow, just wow. I want to see some videos of this thing.

Re: Insane tube evo
 

That is some great craftsmanship for a race car, usually they look pretty rough!

Re: Insane tube evo
 

thats a sexy race car! now only if my evo looked like that id be set :score010:

Re: Insane tube evo
 

Yup a mechanical fuel pump like the big boys use :)

That billet front cover is.....a work of art.

Re: Insane tube evo
 

Why is a machinined front cover even needed though? I can see a solution for the balance shaft hole,..... Oh. This is a dry sump setup, they got rid of the oil pump and all the balance shafts....

Re: Insane tube evo
 

No, the oil pump seems to be there. It is at 4 o'clock. I would like to see the engine out of the car but fully assembled!

Re: Insane tube evo
 

Trivia question: What university did he start his ME degree at?

Re: Insane tube evo
 

The U of Who Cares? :aikido::rollinglaugh:

Re: Insane tube evo
 

No, that's just the mount hole an empty pulley for the timing belt. It looks like most of the use of the billet front plate is for a real secure mount for the dry sump pump.

Re: Insane tube evo
 

I'm going to bet some place in Iowa.

Re: Insane tube evo
 

LMFAO. The evo is a tractor???

Re: Insane tube evo
 

Huh, it just says it uses a modified Magnus oil pump, not dry sump. If you look in the picture of the engine installed in the car it also has the stock oil pump gear on it. Are they just using that for the timing belt?

Re: Insane tube evo
 

Jet, what do you think that object is to the right of the front cover in the last pic.

I think it looks like a dry sump pump. Or maybe a vac pump?

Re: Insane tube evo
 

That pump is not actually installed in the Evo. Look at the harmonic balancer, there isn't another belt running in front of it and there also isn't room for it, there is a piece of the frame there. I do agree that is a dry sump pump. Maybe that is for a different car?

Re: Insane tube evo
 

Perhaps something like rwd application

Re: Insane tube evo
 

Hah, dick, the great Iowa State University. :bullrider:

Re: Insane tube evo
 

I wonder what kind of gas mileage it gets? lol Sweet ride

Re: Insane tube evo
 

Shep has/had the same damper pulley and what looked like the same 3 stage scavenge pump (dry I would assume), if that helps at all. Now I know what I need to look for used when my car runs again.
