Our final prototype is done and it passes with flying colors. I should have 50 in stock in a few weeks....more on that later. For now, some cool pics

Awesome! Groupbuy anyone?

farbmw · 03-29-2013, 03:53 PM

Would there be any welding needed to install this?

Yes, needs to be spot-welded in place.

Brian_VACsales · 03-29-2013, 04:27 PM

Yes, weld in for sure.

Mahhvinn · 03-29-2013, 04:44 PM

Awesome work, Mike!

I know what's next for my car.

A quick google search provided me the answer of preventing oil starvation and an alternative to a dry sump (which is more expensive and offered for M3s).

vasillalov · 03-29-2013, 06:30 PM

It should also limit the frothing effect from the crankshaft lobes splashing constantly the oil. There will be less bubbles in the oil pump pick-up area.

. I am not trying to lose another engine, this will add some piece of mind. Great job VAC looks promising. Any ballpark of the price this will carry?

tahoerdr · 03-31-2013, 11:17 PM

I believe the XI oil pan is a different pan design, am I right? Any plans for an XI pan?

AYF80 · 04-01-2013, 01:20 AM

Vac seems to really be making all of the "other stuff" we need.

What else is in store for the future Vac? Do you sell replacement heads or is it a send in and return deal? sorry, my computer/net over here limits what i can see... I cant even see the pics above.

tinnsoldaten · 04-01-2013, 06:52 AM

PM price....

JamesM3M5 · 04-01-2013, 11:22 PM

Yes the Xi pan is different and requires about 10-12 hours to remove and refit. I don't think there will be much of a market for an Xi pan baffle.

Have you had a chance to check it against the N55 pickup? I think the pans are the same, but the pickup is a bit slimmer on the N55, making it a slam dunk.

ashmostro · 04-01-2013, 11:46 PM

Nice

Alpina_B3_Lux · 04-02-2013, 06:31 AM

Great work VAC. Looking forward to seeing the final price of this - I'm definitely interested.

Agree that VAC is a terrific outfit, but feel obligated to point out the JamesM3M5 at RRT Racing in Sterling, VA fabricated two prototypes: one for VAC and the other for my 1M.

RRT is a VAC dealer and long term respected partner. When I post an official thread (soon) there will be more info.
