Dry sump systems have several important advantages over wet sumps: 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, climbing hills, and acceleration can cause the oil to pool on one side of the engine and uncover the pump's pick-up tube. Increased engine reliability from the consistent oil pressure provided by the dry sump system is the reason dry sumps were invented. 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. Not sure what a complete system would cost but if you have alot of money into your engine and are going to be climbing alot of hills Im sure it would be worth it. |

CB sells a kit for arround 500.00 with the tank. (I think) You will need a sump tank, a dry sump pump, a dry sump pully, a few fittings and some extra hose. CBs kits are a good set up, The best to go with is a Bugpack dry sump pump, their pump costs arround $250.00 to $300.00 ( the CB pump is $99.00) A kit using the Bugpack pump will cost arround $850.00 to $900.00. It just depends on you application. A dry sump system is used on race cars and is proven to prolong the life of your motor. I hope this helps. |
