RA/Sohn MOP adapter

Have it

Use it

Love it

I think at times it's soaking the engine with oil. I run the OMP through the MoTeC with a map that was reverse engineered by a MoTeC and rotary guru to match the factory OMP. I run Idemitsu premix and toss 1/4 oz/gal of gas in the tank as well just for good measure. This is just my thought, my feelings, and as I said, I feel as if I am saturating the engine sometimes but if you think about the two cons of both systems -
Factory MOP - not very good despersion. Anyone who has torn down an engine that only ran the MOP will know what I mean
Pre-mix only - ZERO lube on decel............ take that as you will. Phil and I actually had an interesting conversation on this a while back.

Anyway, by both pre-mixing and running the MOP, I fell I get the best of both worlds. It's 2x the PITA, but whatever

I have an RE, I have REW twins, I also have the REW waterpump housing. Jeff is correct, I mounted mine where the air-pump once lived. I also built my own tank out of AL with a really sexy pop-up gas tank fill from a motorcycle supply house.

RA/Sohn calls for it to be 6" (IIRC) above the OMP. And it needs to be gravity fed obviously. I would keep the length as short as possible however Hailers once did a test by putting his resevoir on the ground and watched the pump self prime under vacuum. I would have to say that the output of the pump from a vac vs a slight pressure would be very different and that 6" of pressure mimics the small amount of "pressure" that the pump sees from the front cover.

I did this and I tried to use a Mikuni pump but I had to use the stock OMP because my braided lines wouldn't work with the Mikuni the way I have the lines routed, which I believe is in the stock way too haha. In the last pic where the lines are running right next to each other and attach to the OMP, on the Mikuni there isn't as much room for them to fit right next to each other like that, but I believe if I rerouted the lines it might work.

I got a tank from US Plastics, drilled a hole in the bottom rear of the tank and used ss braided line. I just mounted it where the battery would normally be. It's a little farther away than I'd like it to be but it's on the cooler side of the engine bay. I wanted to use a plastic tank so I could easily check the oil level. I used SS braided line because I figured it would hold up better than rubber hose or the transparent plastic line, and because I wanted fittings for the ends instead of just clamping the hose down over a nipple.
