Dry Sump???

[TristansCB7]

Admittedly, going turbo is quite a step for our cars, and we all know how important circulating the oil our engines and turbo's require is.
THUS, I present this option. What about a Dry Sump system? A lot of high performance vehicles use them, and yes while we may be lowly street tuners, isn't that little extra sometimes worth the extra mile? I've seen an h22 turbo'ed hatch with a dry sump.
Where there is a will, there is a way right? What are your thoughts on this?

Lot of work for minimal gains. Unless this is a serious track car forget about it. Then again, if you have the money and want to do it, go right on ahead.

i would agree


the only thing some people like bout the accord is the easy h22 drop in
if u talk to most of the cb owners here they re mostly cheap (including myself)





on a cb would be some what of a challenge, being that the harmonic balancer is very close to the inside fender well and the dry sump would work on a belt system (u wouldnt want that belt to hit something and break)

[TristansCB7]

I'd say from the hatches I've seen utilizing the belt driven, and hell, they're even more cramped, that I'm sure some minor fitting and modifying would work wonders.
I've now e-mailed 4 companies that make and have had experience with the dry sump systems on Honda's, including Spoon. Lets see what comes up, I think this will make for an interesting research session.

If you have the money go for. You won't see to much gain, probaly no more than 10 horsepower due to less drag. It would be really interesting if did it. I demand a diy on it though if you do. Dry sump has pently of advantages it's just a little pricey.

dry sump is nice if you actually have a race car. However on a normal or even a built turbocharged CB its not worth the money or time developing the system. 3000 bucks on average for the whole system can net alot of horsepower if that money were put into something that was going to really benefit such as internals and bigger turbo. There are tones of ten second cars running without dry sump.

Dry sump is used on track cars that see high G forces when turning at high speeds. In a pan type setup the oil can be forced to one side of the pan away from the pickup in turn the engine gets no oil .

Well I've done a price check on the dry sump, in total a whole system would be about $5700...ouch I know guys. The company, (A.R.E Dry Sump Systems), is a very very reliable company with great products and services... however, it just seems out of reach, as with a simple Moroso kicked oil pan and high grade pump pickup performance would be greater and simpler at a price of about $400 without investing all the time and effort. Was definitely worth a bit of research though, learned a lot about the systems and the inner workings
