Do I recall that your car is LHD?

You're welcome

As you can see, it's going to be pretty snug on that side of the engine...

Maybe this time the forum will finally start notifying me of replies...

"In God we trust, all others bring data" is a quip by Demming meaning "Propose any darn thing you want, but be able to substantiate it with solid data rather than intuition or gut feelings.

What are you looking for regarding the diff?

Dude, you need to come back to real life from laboratories.. Some 1% difference in flow does not matter, the accuracies to work with are way off those numbers.. In God we trust. All others bring data. IE, if you think it's less than 1%, substantiate that with numbers... Oh yeah, none of us have any.

Hi, Quote- ''We're quite sure that the pumps have different internal dimensions for reasons previously stated.'' This is what is thought to be the case and is not a known fact. Its an assumption to date. As the S62 Cog/Sprocket is larger, then it leads me to 'believe' that this pump will have a cou...

The drill does not have closed loop RPM control. This we agree on. *ANY* difference in the torque it takes to drive the pump will result in an unpredictable change in the drill's RPM. We're quite sure that the pumps have different internal dimensions for reasons previously stated. The different inte...

You can't guarantee that the drill will actually turn the same RPM, even on the same speed setting.

Hi, Rig the pumps up screwed to a timber support and then drive them via an electric drill at given rpm. Use the exsiting chains and sprockets and test them pumping over a 30 sec period at say 1500 rpm drill speed. There's no way to guarantee that the drill will turn the two pumps at the same RPM. ...

He, Gents. I'm the 'Murkin that Turk mentioned earlier in this thread who's also doing an E30 S62 AWD build. In order to verify that you'll be getting at least as much oil volume out of the M62 pump as out of the S62 pump, you'll need to take the pumps apart and measure the size of the internal gero...
