April 28, 20197 yr comment_717699 Racing car?? Are you allowed to dry sump it? A Billzilla el cheapo dry sump using the 4K oil pump for pressure, fed directly from the reservoir and a scavenge pump added to suck it all out again?? Report
April 28, 20197 yr Author comment_717700 Its for a road car, that will get the occasional hillclimb. At the moment thet sump hangs down 20mm below the bottom chassis rail of my car (clubman sports car), so I need to shorten it a smidge, adding the wings to it will allow for the loss of capacity to be recovered. I have read up on Bills dry sump setup, and I may do it on day, but fo rthe time being a winged and baffled saetup will suffice. Edited April 28, 20197 yr by Crashly Report

April 28, 20197 yr comment_717709 A sump that is 20mm below the frame rail on a clubman should not be to prone to damage if you have about 75mm ground clearance to the sump. Just add a sump bash plate. This one is attached with three 6mm riv-nuts to the front cross tube. No wings, just gates with a standard sump. Davew7 Report
April 28, 20197 yr comment_717729 here's what you're looking at- You could get it quite a bit higher if you made a new pump base and pickup, with wings as you say, or a flat bottom rearwards and aim the pickup to the back where the oil collects as you accelerate.
