I see those pumps on ebay go for about 60 bucks sometimes. I was actually thinking about this idea once too just to be different.

the self contained oil sys. is suppose to last 6,000 miles
that is pretty good for an oil sys, just sell it and go turbo like Whitney says nothing better than a turbo sys you moched up yourself besides i put my turbo sys together for around 700 dollars you'll be spending that on the pump only think if you could sell that to some mustand owner for 400 and the rest pick up as you go?

Again, that has nothing to do with my post. We have two supercharge SHO's here that are running more than enough power to satisfy me. One (smokes 360 Modena's on track) is 445hp at the wheels (stock motor) and the other (smokes Lamborghini's around the track) is 520hp at the wheels (3.2L with forged pistons and 9:1 compression). I've already got the supercharger paid for with the SHO performance parts I found in the junk yard this weekend.

In any case, I have ONLY started this thread looking for a self contained oiling system. Even if with a turbo, I'd be looking to do the same thing, so regardless of my choice of forced induction, the question still remains.

Thank you,

I've only see moroso sell all the parts for a dry sump system.
You should give them a call.

I really want to hear your logic behind this. With a separate oiling system you have twice the parts, twice the weight, twice the clusterfuck, double the chances of something going wrong, and double the parts that might fail. A turbo system requires very little oil and does not put a strain on the stock oiling system so why go out of your way to complicate the easiest part of an install?



Also, where did you get those pistons and how much?

i dont see why the yamaha motor in the sho is not using the same setup as the other you talked about good luck getting the dry sump for cheap whitney is still right the turbo is still the way to go, just look at the bugoeit(boo-got-ti) v16 quad turbo i dont think the car is going to starve for oiland it pushes out 1200 hp i dont think that is self a contained sys,,, GO TURBO......
