hello richard
the -16 facing rearward is the pump inlet from the tank, it does work good with the tank position. the pressure outlet is off the top of the pump in the same location as prior and a -12, similar to the avaid and it should use the same line, same exact setup mat has except my pump inlet is rearward facing and my drive pulley was a different measurement from the face of the block, which is the same position as the avaid.
this pan doesn't have a conventional scraper or windage tray, but there is a scoop for each bay in the pan and a smaller outlet at the top of the pan with a debris screen inside.
this is a 5 stage pump, with 4 scavenge inside, he does offer a 6 stage with another external scavenge to plumb to the valley which would move the air
oil separator back the distance of the new section and possibly miss the engine mount completely but most likely put it at the back of the mount.
dailey said it should pull easily in the high teens on vacuum at about 70% engine speed which is where it will run initially, same as mats. can go as high 100%. the air
oil separator should become functional at about 3000 rpm, prior he estimated 20% froth through the -10 air line.
still looking for suggestions on the scavenge line, i guess running it across the bottom of the engine and up the driver side to the
oil cooler at the front, i don't think i can vertical down 180 up the passenger side but i don't know how tight the radius is on a -16 fitting. dailey did talk me into the -16 line, said something about pressure and volume, and one being increased the square going from a -12 to a -16. scavenge line is the only sticking point right now.
this is a real nice unit, something i could never do on my 2 axis vise and takes a lot of the plumbing hassle out and much better pan design. complete setup weighs 20# btw, not a lightweight.
