anybody done one yet ?

it doesn't look to be TOO horribly complex, weld up a new oil pan with pickups to hook to a belt driven centrifugal scavange pump going to a settling tank with a hose leading back to the oil pressure pump.

the most difficult bit seems to be the last, hooking the stock pump up to take a suction on the tank instead of the sump.

anybody seen a nice aluminium belt driven centrifugal pump ?

 

Search the tech and performance sections. IIRC someone recently posted pics and stuff about their homebrew dry sump setup.

 

For what it's worth, the stock system is pretty much like a dry sump.

There is no "piston" slapping into a pool of oil to slow it down.

Unless you are going racing, at 9000RPM+ on a constant basis, there is no need for it.

Increased Oil pressure would be good be good for a healthy performance/track engine though.

 

That was me. I can off list you the sump and install pictures if you are interested.

 

Well I'd like to see some pictures

 

oh YES Please

{I just woke up, and am heading over to the performance forum right now. }
