Thanks for the really useful reply. I've got my centre radiator kit and just need to get it and other parts fitted.
Obvious answer inbound I'm sure, did you get the deep sump from Hartech direct? Do you mind saying how much it was?
Yeah, only available via Hartech or Slakker Racing in the US. I took it to them for the borescope and got it fitted whilst there. Iirc about £1700 fitted with oil, filter etc? Obvious answer inbound I'm sure, did you get the deep sump from Hartech direct? Do you mind saying how much it was?
In other news, my fun day out may have killed the offside cat. Exhaust has started rattling from cold - its quite loud too but goes away when warmed up. I tracked down various rusty clamps, some loose, some loose heat shield material and fixed/replaced the lot. But it still rattles when cold. Hammer test seems to indicate the offside cat. This might mean bringing the build forward because I wanted to fit sports manifolds when the engine was done anyway but don't really want to pay the labour twice!
This is the thread re. oil pressure monitoring data:

Huge thread, but post 1429 shows a comprehensive data trace from the Hartech sump. Other deep sump options also tested

That's really useful - thank you.
I've taken ages to reply as it took some time to read through all that. Really interesting.
I am probably going to get the FVD X51 style sump with 0.6l extra capacity. I wont be doing aggressive track work on Cup2s or anything like that, so its improvements over stock should be more than sufficient to help stave off bore score.

Enjoying your thread. These are such great cars.
Out of interest, my track day 986 S has the 3 radiators as standard. Has a new standard water pump and thermostat. Temp reached 85 deg max at Donny last Monday which was flat out but shifting at 6-6.5K revs. Have removed the A/C so probably a little more air getting to the rads.
Also have the Design911 extended sump which seems to be working, (additional 4 pints). Will be fitting an oil pressure and temp gauge soon.
When I was sorting the brakes, I found threads stripped on both near side hubs so renewed those. Must be common.
Running Bilstein B6 units with 30mm lower H&R springs. Seems very tight on track.
