MOP Oil Flow Direction..

Does anyone know the intimate details of the oil flow from the block into the OMP

There are two holes on the block...and on the OMP...is one a input...and the other a return or bypass...

The Sohn MOP Adapter doesn't fit on my car with the turbo plumbing...and I'm trying to get my head around how I can modify the pump itself

I hope you figure out how to do this because the Sohn adapter doesn't fit with my turbo plumbing either. Charles R. Hill said something about trying this. He might know more...

I talked to Richard Sohn today...and I figured out how to do the mod...now I just need to get the machining done...maybe I should talk to Charles and see what he has come up with first...before I spend a lot on a prototype that he's already doing

Keep us informed. I really want to run premix but I don't want to mix it with the gas because I have a $600 fuel pump that I don't want to possibly clog the filter on. I could use the Sohn adapter if it was about half as thick as it is currently. It just pushes the position sensor out into my downpipe. I can get the downpipe in but it won't mate with the turbo properly.

I have the same problem. I can actually get the pump and adapter on, but there is no room for the electrical connector

I'm a bit better off than you though...mine is at least a cold pipe!

I have to decide if it's easier to modify the switch and electrical...or the pump.

I would rather do the pump mod though.

I have to get to my friends machine shop next week and see what they can do with my idea......

Charles......PM me back

I re-routed the sensor wiring to go on top of the MOP and that gave me a lot more room but it just won't fit.
