Hose fittings AN Plumbing Flow rates

[Ant]

I have an oil pressure take off on the oil filter just before main oil gallery and one at the rear of engine.

Richard, I am running a Peterson filter on the scavenge which apart from Straight fittings only has a 180 and a 90 within the 5 foot length to Oil Tank. I was hoping that AQ full flow mandrel style fittings wouldnt be much of an issue for pressure loss as I see race cars that are riddled with 90's, 120's etc fittings..

The oil cooler and t/stat are on the pressure side, I don't like oil coolers and think I will bypass it with a double male fitting in the hose line, unless racing on a hot summers day.

I haven't been given an oil flow map or coolant flow map, just done what I have seen round the tracks, club cobra etc, fitted a custom made PWR radiator 2 x 1.25" row, with my aluminium engine I am hoping it will provide more than ample cooling. You are right it would help to know for calculating flow requirements, there will be a bit of experimentation with the Dailey pump, at this stage we have gone for big pressure gears, but can change to smaller gears, and we have different pressure springs to try if needed. I will try and keep a reasonable idle oil pressure while trying to keep shafted hp loss to a minimum by changing pump gear size.
