Dry Sump on a 13B

How would one setup a non-MFR dry-sump system on a rotary?

Since there is technically not a crankcase in a rotary, do you hook up a scavenge section to each of the two stock oil pressure regulators (2 scavenge pump sections total)? Combine this with a single pressure section, one would use a 3 stage dry sump pump?

Thanks,

Paul

Usually you go through the front cover where ever you can with you system of mounting the engine. Then you make pipes that run down either side of the engine tucked up above the oil "plate". One toward the front, one toward the back.

I have a couple laying around at the shop if you would like to see how it looks.

I've heard of someone using the stock oil cooler in/out ports for the scavenge lines, using a cut up rear pressure regulator and the front regulator with the bottom removed, apparently it worked fine. You'll have to isolate them from the rest of the oil supply and supply oil to the engine elsewhere (stock oil filter location), but that won't be too hard. Just use a piece of plate to seal up the bottom of the engine.
