Am i the only one who doesn't understand the dry sump thing? I usumed its to stop oil moving and starving the engine on track through corners etc but how it works is beyond me!
Your halfway there mate, this explains it fairly well though.
Had a nice chat with JKM tonight with regard to the modifcations to fit to FWD application all is sorted for work to commence next week on the car.
The pulley arrangment will be the biggest issue along with the alternator location, at the moment we are going with relocating the alternator to the other side of the engine, nothing some machined brackets cant sort.
Its all rather snug in a Fiesta engine bay thats for sure.
The titan stuff really looks the part but dont they do a proper sump pan? Shouldn't be an issue for you but on my build i run my exhaust under the engine like normal, the slim pan really helps with downpipe clearance.

Agreed and thankfully the downpipe goes over the box and down the back of the bulkhead. These kits are designed for RWD but will work with some mods for FWD.

Nope So if you come out on track next year bring some marshmellows.
It will live where the heater matrix/blower unit once sat.
Car is off to Jkm Performance today and will not be back until completed.
Bring on the good times again, really looking forward to its progression now.
I have done almost all I am physically capable of doing now so the experts shall continue and finish things off.
Looking good now, i have just had the oil pump go on my black top at 6.5k. Luckily i saw the ford red light of death and then my autometer oil pressure gauge reading zero enabling me to shut it down quickly.
The only damage caused was the big end and mains bearings caught and the crank will need a polish. I think it was down to the under drive pulleys (no harmonic damper in the crank pully) fitted so i'm going back to standard ones. Hopefully it won't die on me again.
