    Anyone use the upgraded VAC Motorsports High Volume Oil Pump?

    I have a built S54 with stock compression with an older AA HKS SC kit with 6 nozzles of meth spraying into the intake manifold but I live in South Florida and of course I have overheating issues.
    Does anyone have any experience with the upgraded VAC oil pump? Any noticeable difference?

    Timing is everything. I was just thinking about this as well.

      Yes!
      Unfortunately I couldn't find too much online in regards to these oil cooling parts, and with losing the OG m3forum, I'm sure lots of info is gone for good, but there's still plenty of good people out here with some great experiences.

        Overheating? Water or oil? and what are the temps?

          Sorry didn't mention I meant mainly for HPDE events. Water seems to be fine for now, just oil gets hot very quick. Can barely do a few laps the way it is right now.

            Have you cleaned the oil cooler front and back?

                That will do nothing to solve your heating issues.

                  I'm running this pump, seems to be good for me, hitting max psi not far past 2200 rpm. But if you're struggling with oil heat then I think this pump will do nothing for you. IMO more pressure (not higher max, but towards max more of the time) = more heat. I'd look into a bigger and better oil cooler if you struggle with oil temps.

                  Regards
