Hi Octane Racing RB26 Dry Sump

I do get quite a few questions regarding RB26 dry sump oiling. I have stopped answering them because I feel like a broken record sometimes and then most people freak out on the cost in the end anyway.

Hyundai 4B11 Arrives at Cosworth

My buddy Simon at Hyundai arranged for us to examine a Hyundai 4B11 in depth at Cosworth. We'll dig into it and see if our components will work with the Hyundai version. We have a 2.2L stroker kit, pistons, rods, cams, valve springs, etc. for the Mitsubishi EVO X 4B11T. Tri-metal engine bearings and CNC ported big valve cylinder head are just a couple months behind. Hopefully most of it crosses over so some Hyundai owners can buy into some instant Cosworth gratification.
