The oil pump is quite small and is driven by a hex drive EDM'ed into the pinion gear -- pretty cool. Note that the cooler is high mounted and well out of the airflow, unlike the Penske set-up which was both low mounted and had an air scoop. The standard GTS set-up is lighter and better protected from track debris but the Penske set-up has to work better.
All the best, Bill GTS#35, Tallahassee.



Thanks Bill really appreciate the info and pics.

I already have a 2 stage exteral pump ala the Penske GTS as I want to cool both the trans and diff and dont want to run electric pumps.

Given my propensity for running off the ttrack at speed at the moment I thik I may mount the coolers similarly to your car. I already have a largish cooler that will work for the diff and compensate to a degree for the lack of airflow.

Kel.
