hi guys

any of you using a dry sump system???

 

Gary,

I think the only Evo I am currently aware of is the one that Magnus did the engine for. It is not a very common item for most Evo owners. We have toyed with using one on our Evo Drag Car this engine, but havent decided really.

 

Found this from ARE

http://www.drysump.com/Mitsubishi.htm

 

the guys sprinting and track users are finding more and more the standard sump,oil pump are causing issues

we have a kit and would like to push it on here,whos best person to contact???

 

Sierra Sierra I believe is using one. Considering the problems some have had with cornering causing engine failures from oil starvation, I'm surprised more haven't gone to dry sumps.

Brent Rau in his drag Eclipse I think ran on for a while, but I think he went back to a stock pump?

 

Drag racing presents different oiling pressure problems, with different solutions.

A dry sump is the best overall solution for g-forces in many directions, because the oil reservoir holds several gallons of oil, and it can never run dry or cavitate, so the pressurized oil supply is always available to the parts needing it.

 

ive pm'd someone before getting some pics added here

 

Another ulternative is Accusump (www.accusump.com), high cornering G DSMs have been using them since the early 90's!

They are MUCH cheaper than the drysump system and do the job!

 

think most of guys in uk have tried but dry sump is only proper answer to oil issues

 

Nice Find!

I wonder how their oil pan fits to the block... I have an AMS dry sump and the Moroso Pan is not very flush with the bottom of the block. I called AMS and they said it is an issue that Moroso is supposed to be working on.

I am also trying to find a decent location for the oil tank and keep the lines as short as possible.

 

heres link to our site with some info on there

That's a nice clean solution you guys have come up with.

 

I agree, nice design!

 

Ya, that works great... unless you have two hard right hand turns back to back running hoosiers and the accusump can't re-pressurize fast enough....

Happened to SmackEvo here in norcal. Watched him pit quick style after the last 2 turns at Thunderhill in the CW configurations... not good.

Both of those dry sumps look great! Sucks to hear the Moroso dry sump pan is having issues... I have seen the same for the wet sump pan they produced for AMS

 

Man these are pricey, but I guess $3 - 5K is what it takes...ughhhh yet something else....this car is getting into 911 territory (price wise).

APT - Don't you need a special tank to separate the oil and air ? I did not see that or filtration on your web page.
