oil squirters in the v/c??

By 93hatcheg
- Mon Sep 13, 2010 3:37 am #213332 so im rebuilding my gsr all legit with oem jdm itr pistons and and name brand top notch parts ( idk what cams yet) but any ways i always see how poeple are tapping there v/c and runin a catch can outta it, well i wanna know if its possible to

run a sandwich adapter in the oil filter and run the 2 steel braided lines from the adapter to the valve cover so that oil would be squirting on the cams and valve train. is this doable or heard of.

what do you guys think?? i wanna know caus ei thought it may be a good idea

Those fittings and line coming of the vc are for a catch can.

- Wed Sep 15, 2010 1:07 am #213745 ok but what about a dry sump system all it does is use a external oil pump to suck oil out of the oil pan up to the head where it squirt the oil back out in to the cylinder head. :? pennies for your thoughts :wink:

- Wed Sep 15, 2010 3:50 am #213780 In a dry sump, extra oil is stored in a tank outside the engine rather than in the oil pan. There are at least two oil pumps in a dry sump -- one pulls oil from the sump and sends it to the tank, and the other takes oil from the tank and sends it to lubricate the engine. The minimum amount of oil possible remains in the engine.

Dry sump systems have several important advantages over wet sumps:

* Because a dry sump does not need to have an oil pan big enough to hold the oil under the engine, the main mass of the engine can be placed lower in the vehicle. This helps lower the center of gravity and can also help aerodynamics
* The oil capacity of a dry sump can be as big as you want. The tank holding the oil can be placed anywhere on the vehicle.
* In a wet sump, turning, braking and acceleration can cause the oil to pool on­ one side of the engine. This sloshing can dip the crankshaft into the oil as it turns or uncover the pump's pick-up tube.
* Excess oil around the crankshaft in a wet sump can get on the shaft and cut horsepower. Some people claim improvements of as much as 15 horsepower by switching to a dry sump.

(by allowing a lower hoodline).

The disadvantage of the dry sump is the increased weight, complexity and cost from the extra pump and the tank -- but that's a small price to pay for such big benefits!
