I modified the oil pan by adding two -10 AN fittings. One for pick up out of the sump, and one for return.
The pump is a pretty standard item. I got it from Summit or Jegs. It is self priming, and will almost empty the system. That's a nice bonus when changing the oil, as I can get most of the oil out of the cooling circuit.
It's not quite as efficient as the engine pump. But I don't have to worry about pressure drop and things like that. Racing on a hot day, I can keep the oil temps down to about 210-220*. That's about perfect for the Royal Purple I use. |
