Love everything about that car! And the dry sump setup is great!
I killed a couple of Subaru engines from oil starvation under hard cornering, in my autocross car. Didn't help that they liked to set up the course like a big goddamn spiral, so you were turning right almost the whole time.
Dry sump stuff isn't cheap! but it's cheaper than rebuilding engines every time you turn too hard.
 
Most braided steel hose is not rated for vacuum. Your suction hoses will need inner support springs or you risk oil starvation. I used -12 Aeroquip FC300 hose for the suction lines on my dry sump system. It's rated to 28" hg but it requires different style fittings and it's really stiff, so it doesn't make tight radius bends.

yes i just installed springs in the lines and they didn't make the lines to stiff.

Didn't watch the entirety of the video but it was sweet seeing the 242 walk away from the camera car (E30?) on the straight. (I know the wide angle camera exaggerates things but still cool!)

I came here looking for Independent Throttle Bodies on a redblock, but I'm happy with that video instead :-D

Where did you go just after 10 minutes? Plus one on the above comment, too :-) Very entertaining.
 
Awesome vid. Glad you are up and running with this thing. Little lag on that thing but it sure hits hard.
