Dry sump anyone?
Has anyone gone dry sump in their c4?
Where did you put the tank?
did you have enough room for the drive mandrel?
Or did you use a camdrive style like a sprint car?
Used Nextel stuff is cheap, and high quality.
Drysump pan(stainless) -$325 with hoses/fittings
5/6 stage pump - $450-500
3-4 gallon tank with heater $325
Via ebay. I have been watching these go thru for a month now and this seems to be the average selling/buy it now price.
A 6 stage will give me
4 for the pan
1 for the turbo
1 for pressure.
Some people claim a 6 stage with 2 1/4 scavenge sections will make crankcase vacuum. I have no Idea as Ive never owned one.
maybe get a vacuum pump as well on a a/c clutch. That way it would only activate under boost and save wear on it.

There's a guy over in the racing section with a track only C4 that runs one. Getting the pump mounted was a real PITA. Doing it on a street car would be even worse. Great idea though. You could mount the turbos down low.

you could mout the tank in the back! as for the pump, i think a four stage would do fine (three sucking and one preusre). as for the presure thing, i know the BTCC guys over here used to run their 4 stage pumps at more than twice engine speed (!) and the limters where at 8500rpm!!! running a 4 stage faster may get around the space issue a little. i would also include a pretty big oil cooler in there to!
so all in all, go for it!
thanks Chris.
PS. the Procker 996 turbo has run a dry sump for ages now. so it can be done on road cars!

I bought a 3 stage "dyno time only" Katech pan from ebay for $40.!
The deals are out there.

like that one.
What do you guys think, 3 gallon, 4?, 2 1/2? I think Im gonna mount the tank in the rear compartment.
It's lookin like a weaver 5 stage as well.
