The newest YouTube upload was really cool. It was fun to space out and watch someone build a dry sump oil pan. Nice work!
Thanks alot. Here is the post on that vid. I forgot to upload it on here.
Well I started on something different last week. The chassis is coming along nicely, so we will soon be placing the cab. Once the cab is on, we need to place the motor. In order to place the motor, I need an oil pan. I decided a while back that I will be going with a 5 Stage dry sump setup on this project. 4 Scavenge stages, one pressure stage. There will be 3 scavenge stages to the pan, and one scavenge stage dedicated to the turbo drains. Having a dry sump allows me alot of options.
1. Better oil control, wont run the sump dry on hard 60ft hits
2. Short profile oil pan that allows the engine to sit 3" lower (better CG)
3. Higher Oil capacity (2.5 Gallons)
4. You can now low mount turbos because you can directly scavenge the oil to the tank. (Better CG)
LTx dry sump oil pans are currently all made by very high end manufactures. Most are billet and $1200+. Soooo. I made on.
3/16" Steel Flange
16" Pan
-12 AN Scavenge ports
I plan on running inline scavenge filters to protect the pump.
Ill need to get the inside of the pan blasted with walnut or something to remove the chances of any scale popping loose and hurting the oil pump.
