Message: [QUOTE="Harleyx, post: 1312151, member: 21993"] First off. Thank you for being objective. I realize that you can't simply pull a rabit out of a hat. Reliability is always a concern. These pumps are reliable, in their current application, have a incredibly low failure rate. However. Oil temperature, an engine compartments environment and voltage consistency all play factors in reliability, and as you have stated.. you can only know how truly reliable the system is until you have one installed for thounsands, if not tens of thousands of miles. I wouldn't be the first to rush a kit or system to the market. But my partner and I simply refuse to sell a product before it is tested and deemed suitable and reliable. Now. That being said. These pumps in their current application are being used for several minutes at a time without a cooling apperatus. In an engine application, you would only be using it at wide open throttle, my point being, 12-45 second bursts at wide open throttle (drag strip, or pullers) . we strongly took this into consideration when consulting with our pump manufacturer with selecting an adequate pump, amd actually wound up with several different gear selections to choose from. We are also seeking a utility and design patent for the electric dual hpop system for 6.0s given the reliability of the system stand the test of time. We are also in talks with several people as testers not maintaining hpo at wot who will test for us at cost. As far as measuring hpop voltage, that wouldnt be an issue; however the icp sensor is relocated 2 inches from the oil rail and is actually on the feed line from the pump, so we felt that measuring voltage would not be as accurate of a representation of real rail pressure as a manual hpo psi gauge plumbed directly into the rail, giving us real interior rail psi readings. I also like to mention wewould not ever consider opening a performance shop. It would be strictly from a manufacturing standpoint. Thank you again for the objectivity. As said before. We were simply posed with a problem , saw the issues of the gear driven and aftermarket pumps, and went for our own solution. This thread wasn't meant to even be about the kit. Just a small build thread testing the new 369sxe more than anything. The kit was a simple, cost effective solution to a problem ultimately solved with ease thus far. [/QUOTE]
