right we have got a dry sump kit to go on our zetec turbo

but am i right in saying we can block the breathers off as technically they are no longer needed as any crankcase pressure will be tacken out via the the oil resovior tank in to a catch tank, if you know what i mean.

 

bump

surley some one knows there stuff??

im gona post in technical questions

 

yes you can block of the breathers mate, one of the benefits of a dry sump setup is that you can run the crankcase at a vacuum, makeing the engine rev more quickly

 

cheers that is what i thought i just wanted a second opinion

 

Yep suppost to be a totally sealed system

 

I would be interested to know how much difference you notice before and after the installation....

Would like to know for sure on the breather as I have been told conflicting info for turbo cars

NA = defo sealed.

 

yeah i was wondering if you could actually notice the differance or weather it was one of those small things you need a lot of to feel the benifits.

ill let u know how it goes but itll be in the late part of this year till she is on the track

 

I think the pump spec will state whether or not you can run in vac. It needs to have a big enough scavenge stage to support it, only place there will be a breather will be at the top of the oil tank then
My slim jim pump(iirc 3 stage) can and thats pretty much one of the most popular pumps used.
