    Oil pump and bearing failure.

    JaV: Nope the Toga is just a rebranded Aisn same as stock. For the NA's just buy a GTE pump and you have Hi Volume!

    block rust

    Outside no biggie it's just an annoyance but I'd be very concerned at the Bore condition. If it got plenty of good assembly lube when it was built it'll be fine if not you could have a problem :(

    How much boost is too much?

    ROFLMAO! :) (Was just trying to give him an idea why 24/8.5:1/pump gas would be a STUPID idea let alone 9:1)

    400+whp 7M's

    That sums it up for me! Only time I turn the power down is on wet days so I build my car to run full power all the time and this is where it gets expensive trying to engineer out any and all weak links.

    did a compression test today

    Probably some but then again so is everyone else once they get to these sort of levels! Oil is cheap ;) Have a look at the Oil consumption of a 600hp Nascar type motor over a full race or one of our V8 Bathurst cars that do 1000 km's in the race and you'd be surprised at just how much they...

    did a compression test today

    If I had to "guess" where the Oil is going I'd say out pass the rings under boost. We see our motors as a big ridged solid chunk of cast iron but in reality they're very flexible and move around a lot more than you'd expect. Downside of doubling,tripling,quadrupling a motor's output will be...

    How much boost is too much?

    To get all Nerdy and taking it as a stock 7MGTE at 24 psi boost and stock Compression ratio I get the effective compression ratio is 18.77:1 and you'd need at a minimum 122 octane fuel to run it.

    super-quick question

    My goodness..... ;) Think about it for a minute guys .. The pump sucks from the bottom of the tank anyway and has a screen. This goes back to the dark old days before Galvanised tanks were common (40+ years ago) if you let the fuel level drop you'd get condensation and rust forming...
