I must admit, I don't know anything about an external wet-sump oil pump setup. What is the advantage of moving the pump outside the sump? Do you have scavenging stages of the pump, and a pressure stage? All the advantages I know of that dry sump systems have would be lost if there is no scavenging pump and no separate resevoir. If the pickup is in the oil pan, it will still be prone to being uncovered during cornering. Capacity will not be improved. No negative crankcase pressure generation. No sucking oil off the top end. Anybody have any pctures of one of these external wet-sump systems?
