As title really,any reccomendations,thoughts,do i need separate stage for turbo,or can this drain straight into the sump as standard ??.Looking at the turbo sport one,seems pretty reasonable price ?
Cheers all

 

You don't need a turbo scavenge stage unless
Your turbo position is very low in which case
Gravity draining from the turbo can be a issue

You can drain into the side of the pan
Or even near the scavenge tube on the dry sump
Pan

I do the opi dry sump kits
If you have a google at some pics or go
On Burton's site you will see the turbo drain in the
Side of the pan

 

thanks,,will have a look

 

Dan Lacey is your man

 

Does anyone have an opi dry sump kit on their setup ?,if so, could do with a measurent from the centre of the crank pully,to the furthest outer edge of the pump.
Cheers all

 

If you add 125mm on the power steering pump mount face on the block
Then that probably a little more then you need

 

It's probably nearer 105 mm than 125 mm

 

top man

 

I'm gonna be ordering my dry sump kit soon,opi,or turbosport,
The opi sump looks a bit bulky to me,but let to believe its a better type of pump,
decisions,decisions

 

Can the existing piston jet spraybar be re-used ?

 

Think this is the only place for the tank

 

I'm going to order some braided pipe / fittings to check routes and bends,I don't want to skimp on quality ,therefore speedflow "an" fittings are on the list.Are these the best quality,i'm judging on price here.

 

pressure relief valve turned up,certanly sterdy !

 

Looks great, I would zircotec coat the down pipe and remove that wrap, you have such a nice instal I think it would benefit from the neatness and better heat management.

 

Thanks,,a new exhaust is on the list of things to do first,have looked into the coating before,but ŁŁŁŁ ,its on the limit for track days

 

Took of the sump tonight ,to try and figure out a way of re-routing the spray jets with a dry sump pan.
Look what i spotted
see if anyone can see it:-

 

Arp nuts or what is written under the piston?

 

 

Side plug funny angle, is that supposed to be a blank?

 

yep,looks like its pushed out

 

Is that a an over pressure type thing? Can't think why it would be there unless for assembly but then you would think it would have a retaining system?

Lucky save though eh?

 

Caught just in time by looks of it, are you running 4x4 running gear? Just wondering as I see a sump gasket and didn’t think you fitted them in 4x4 format.

 

Wow that is lucky. I wouldn't expect that with a Cosworth pump either.
Was your oil pressure still good?

 

Wow good thing you decided to go dry sump and caught it!

I believe thats the pressure spring retaining cap for the spray bar.

 

yeah,,was a lucky save,maybe they needed to use a harder punch

 

sump pan arrived today

 

Its a 2wd setup

 

Anyone have a 4x4 oil pickup pipe they want to move on

 

Made a flange today,will either tap this for a banjo,or weld a the pipe straight into it.


Just poked that pipe in to check it lines up with the hole

 

 

At main cap #3 is that two pieces of pipe pushed together? I wouldn’t run it the way it is but would make a good template to get one fabricated.

 

no, its solid underneath,its not a join,its the origional 4x4 pipes ,the larger pipe is just sleeve over the top to make it rigid

 

Looks cool. Good mod. How did you incorporate the pressure spring etc.? I would consider maybe doing an oil change on that engine of yours

 

the spring is external,using this(slightly over the top),adjustable check valve.

gonna givethe spray bar, bit of a file,some paint and will look factory

 

This is what is underneath,ive brazed over the existing pipes.
Part of the pickup pipe is a spine that runs down the back,the sleeve is where the spine finishes

 

Finally happy with it

 

That crank might need a polish...lol

 

All belts sorted now,now starting tank install and pipework

 

Thinking of putting a std type filter before and after the pump,any thoughts ,will it affect pressure much,i'm thinking not.The one after is a deffo
The reason i want before is that i'm getting the tank welded with extra unions.Just a bit worried about any swarf,as is a solid tank.
