Dry sump systems Options

[moggy]

It's time I moved out of the dark ages and got myself a dry sump system on the rallycar. What's everyone using? Any pictures of installations? especially with the stock cooling. My concern is that I'll have to do some major surgery on the fan shroud (4 cylinder engine) as any dry sump pump will sit so far proud that I'll have to cut a hole in the fan shroud. Really interested to see what everyone has done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

It was over $400.00. He is in Germany. You do need to modify the engine mount. Are you on Facebook? I can contact him there.

Hi Blake

Finally got to the stage of fitting this now. Tank is in, pump is in. Now to the stage of making modded engine mounts. Got any photos of what you did here before I start going down a certain route.

Cheers

So, last night I made a start on making some custom mounts to work around the pump.

This is what we're up against.... I've used some pipe tails that I had lying around to give me an idea of what I need to work around, as you can see below the in/out is exactly where the standard engine mounts would normally sit.

I laid the engine bar and mounts in front so you can see exactly the issues

So first thing to do is cut off the mounts from the back plate, so I can mount them below the in/out of the pump. Firstly I had to measure how far the hole is from the backplate to ensure that when it's all welded back on it's the same distance from the engine. Works out a touch over an inch...

and a touch of centre from the top mount hole

Next job is to cut the mounts off the back plate so the back plates look like the below. I tried to do it so that the cutting disk was as close to the backing plate as possible and I didn't eat into the mount too much, reason is because I want to re-use the mount when I weld it on later. Eating too much out of it with the cutting disk when cutting it off the backplate will mean it will sit too far back when welding it back on.

So now the back plates sit comfortably behind the pump. I've also placed the engine bar in the position it needs to sit in relation to the engine when in the car

Next step tonight is to start with tacking the mounts in the new lower location.

Here's some pictures I took while I was at it of the mod to the fan shroud and how much space there is behind it for the pipe tails.

Sorry for poor quality shots taken with my phone but photography is not a strong point (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
