Dry sump tank position vrs oil line sizes

[JIMP]

Hello Brent

we run the same setup on a rally car, we used for the feed 16mm -that's 5/8" ???- ID tubes, those were the inox braided outside with teflon inside, never had problems with this one even on sustained 7500rpm on rally use, that just worked for us

Hi Dimitrios good to hear from you.

I am doing my best to get this absolutely right, the new engine is v close to starting.


I bought a brand new Thorsten pump, [stunning i might add] and everything in the engine is brand new inc the bearings i got off you. Can you offer me any information on case / tank vacuum and pressure and the importance on this etc? Would you also approve that the larger and more the case/ tank air vents the better?

Could i get away with the scavenge lines to the filter and coolers and the tank being -10 or -12?, the main scavenge one to the tank is about 2.5 mtrs... and the feed line to be larger around -16?

Regards brent
