On some finer details in my car plans I was looking into a custom dry sump system for my car, this will allow me to lower the motor 8-10mm helping with center of gravity and with heavy track use I wouldnt have to worry about oil starvation. < main concern

How much would identical full custom systems cost on our cars? I do know it is fairly expensive but would like to get a near estimate..

Would it be better to move to something like accusump?

Thanks guys, Im hoping that the benefits greatly outweigh the cost on this, but if not ill have to try and run a accusump system somewhere, which essentially works great but lowering my motors center of gravity is out of the question.

If I do get the accusump, I may go with the manual valve kit.

Benefits will not outweigh the cost.

Unless your building full race, track only car, I dont think it would be worth it. If you are however, go for it. I know world racing runs one on both of their time attack cars.

Waiting for others whove tracked these engines to chime in. Honestly one of the biggest benefits is the prevention (or lessening of) the chance of oil starvation. On hard, continuous right turns ive had to step out as my car has begun to lose oil pressure (as oil pools in the left side of the head and left side of the pan). Currently im looking into building a baffle setup if I decide to continue tracking this car (the funds for a full dry sump have been sunk into my new project). If you're still intent on tracking, then a dry sump makes perfect sense, as it will also allow you to add an oil cooler much more easily and have a much higher overall oil capacity, keeping oil and engine temps more stable.

i was thinkin about the same thing, im pretty sure that this is the reason i blew my motor. on a hard banked turn.

Granted, its not the same motor but I had a 240sx with a rb25 that I ran into this problem with, if im going to end up dumping money in the motor I want to make sure that all parts perform is unison, not just focus on suspension/motor but also keeping critical engine areas in watch and able to withstand the forces of tracking.

ex. dry sump, tranny, axles, ect.
has anyone on this site heard of accusump?

have you ever thought to look on jegs at like a moroso set up?

http://www.jegs.com/i/Moroso/710/23903/10002/-1 this one is supposed to work well with smaller engines.

oh nice find speedinc, Imma look into it,

heres accusump

on this site it also has the supporting stuff you would need for this
manual valve or EPC valve

^ this is on a s2000 track car

yea man i will probably eventually end up doin this set up, im about to drop a pretty penny in my motor build so id rather it not fail on me.

3-5k depending on how involved you get.

^ yep That's why I suggested it for a pure race car. I'd get the accusump system if I was doing it.

Un4Scene

I'm curious to see what you come up with for a baffle setup. Are you talking about baffling the oil pan or the head? If you do this, post some pics up and let us know how it worked out!

i dont thinkk that it is for pure race car drivers. it obviously could be beneficial for corner carvers and people who do frequent track days but daily their vehicles. all in all wat makes it out to be a 3-5k set up?

The 3-5k price tag makes it for serious owners.

well from wat i have found i dont see it costing that much to set it up.

Depending on what stage pump you go with, lines, fittings, custom oil pan, in this case a custom pulley for the belt, etc.
