Dammit said:The tapped carrier has mainly been developed by Race Technology so far- here's a shot of the CAD model for a standard Variocam engine:
Race Techniques will be specifying what design changes are required for mechanical tappets and higher lift.
We believe that making these from much stronger material will resolve the hydraulic fracture issue, so no additional scavenge pump on the head.
I didn't get my shortblock from Porsche, I'm buying it from Hartech, costs are quite fluid at the moment as I don't knowing much of it I'm going to use- crank/pistons and rods can be resold to recoup some cash for e.g.
I'll likely use 300M rods with Hartech pistons, and an EN40B crankshaft.
Th heads started life as stock 3.4 ones, the goal is to both remove the flaws and boost performance. We'd like to do better than the 96 bhp per litre that the X51 kit developed.
We've kicked the dry sump idea around, not sure at this point. Would I like too? Yes. Do we need too? Unknown. Do I have an infinite supply of money? Sadly not.

Yes I have - extended shaft (obligatory fnar), yellow inlay for the shift pattern.
I'll get the shift boot made in alcantara that matches the the handbrake and steering wheel when it arrives.
