Ok, just wondering who has gone the dry sump route before, and what problems they encountered.
What sort of life expectancy do you get from a pump? Is a Barnes, Moroso or a Weaver pump the way to go? Where did you run the tank, and what size did you run? Looking at it now, as there is minimal room to run a decent sump in an EL, and dry sump cures all woes, seeing surge will be a problem.... |

Going from all the replies it looks like you will be the pioneer for this. You could maybe try one of the supercar teams for some info.

I have the pan, with some pretty cool piston coolers, and a 18 quart Peterson tank for the boot, but just looking for the best pump.
I think a 5 stage Barnes or Weaver would be the go, just need to see which is the more reliable. I am getting a 2 stage pinion driven Barnes Pump for the 3rd member and gearbox, so possibly the Barnes could be the go? |

Ok, I see alot of views, and no replies, so I guess alot of people out there have no idea in the first place what a dry sump is.
Secondly, I gather that those that know, have probably never even seen one. I guess I will have to write a story, and post some pics up once its all fitted up. For those that know what it all is, I purchased a 5 stage Barnes pump today, a really nice light one, only weighs 13lb, so its all now about plumbing the bloody thing up.... |

Since most people do not know that much about the dry sump setup you could show us a bit of your project. I for one am always interested in gaining a bit more automotive knowledge, and wouldn't mind seeing some pics of the setup.
