Oil system diagram, and oil cooler installation & routing Options

[stugray]

I would like to design a dry-sump type of system for my race car.

One thing I have found is that diagrams that show how the stock system works and how to modify it for other parts (coolers, dry sump, "full flow",etc) are hard to find.
So I made this diagram in Visio (CAD-like) so I can move parts around and ask the proper questions.

Does anyone have any suggestions or comments about making the diagram 100% correct before I start trying to modify it?

I could provide the original file, but not too many out there have visio.

My next step is to get out a spare case so I can see EXACTLY where these parts go, exactly what any adapter might look like, and identify where all of the galley plugs would be in the diagram.

Ok, here;s my latest:

This is right after engine disassembly.
I put the oil system back on for a sec to get a picture.

What you see is a tangerine racing oil cooler blockoff plate.
In that I have 2X 3/8 NPT X 10AN adapters

The top port is the OUT from the engine's oil pressure relief valve (Also a Tangerine racing valve insert).
This line goes to a bracket on the side of the fan housing to 12AN lines that run to the front oil coolers.

The bottom port is the IN back towards the engine.
It has the return from the oil coolers from the left, through a one-way check valve then to the tee that feeds in to the engine.
Also connected to that tee is another 10AN that comes from my accusump.

Here's a side pic:

Here is a basic model of the standard OC block off plate:

If I made a modified blockoff plate, I could eliminate a lot of that plumbing.
So here is a plate that brings the AN fitting at a 90, eliminating one turn.

And on the back side, there would be a port for the accusump:

I think I will ask Cris if he can make one.
