No, E30 swaps use the correct angle.

Wat you talkin about. It is a three stage pump, and I don't think it is a KSE or MOROSO I would say the most he paid it 1k, not to mention it looks used.

Oh, I was just looking at Daily pumps for fun and noticed their price tag

[Massimo]

Nar bro you need to be smart with dry sumps heaps of places rip you off.

Check ebay there are heaps of used Nascar 6 stage pumps for like $650 you could easily rebuilt one into a 3-4-5 stage if you like.

[Wanganstyle]

This would be so awesome if it could be done!

Yes; as previously mentioned "a local M12 was converted to full gear drive"

I forgot to also include that the rebuild cost including upgrade to gear drive and changeover to modern Link G4 engine management was over 150K....This is a M12 (twin cam m10 based 1980's bmw F1 / group 5) engine

this is when poopsmiths talk about the great things they do; some people just cannot do anything right.

Buy the correct parts and there is no ghetto fab involved. Dont listen to dirty poopsmiths pretending to work on bent cars that are DIRTY and never get things completed.

They all have advantages and disadvantages.

Dosn't matter though because will all be drving something like this in the future.

I remember talk of the Cobalt SS Supercharged having solenoid actuated valves when it was still in the early stages of design.

Would have been cool, though most likely kill the ability to sell it for 20 thousand.

Yep, I believe the Alfa Romeo Mito has solenoid exhaust valves, wont belong before all cars have them.
