oil and water flow rates

[slideways]

can anyone tell me what the litre per min flow rate is for the oil and water on an Rv8 serpentine engine
Thanks

The coolant flow rate is proportional to revs, pressure is proportional to revs squared. It's been a while since I looked at this but as far as I remember peak pressure differential across the pump was around 2bar and the peak flow was somewhere around 2L/second on a pre-serp setup. Slightly higher for a serp setup. Sorry I don't have any figures for oil flow rates.

Let me guess .. you are thinking of going electric.

thanks for the replys,
i was thinking about a laminova oil to water cooler and was wondering if i could get away with a small one but as the oil is high flow i'm unsure if i can
