External Oil Pump - Single-Stage Wet Sump In Ac Compressor Location

[Full-Race Geoff]

hi everyone, I am starting to mockup a single stage external oil pump (wet sump) on my RB26. using a Ross or ATI crank pulley and thinking to use a Petersen single stage wet sump pulling from stock pickup and pressurizing the factory location on the block (not a big fan of moroso)

Curious who else has done this and if you have any photos or ideas. thanks

Single stage pump isn't anything new. It been done a million times over.

I have been doing them in kit forms for years, aviad single stage pump, 6061 alloy bracket, balancer, drive mandrels etc.

Now doing a surge tank type setup using a two stage pump to eliminate the oil surge aspect of running a wet sump/external pump arrangement.

thanks Brad, i searched but did not see anybody making a kit, I am sure this is not new but I have only 4 weeks until my next race and trying to work something simple without going drysump. we are definitely not interested to develop or sell these or be a competitor to you- just need to get my race car going...We can machine and fabricate the items, just want to have a solid plan together and not have to do things twice. would you mind posting some photos of your kit? do you sell parts/pieces or only the complete setup? also if you could elaborate on the oil surge, thank you

Just out of curiosity Geoff , you don't like the crank collar and later OE style oil pump ?

Cheers Adrian .

that is plan B, i have a trusty JUN pump here, waiting to see what ProFab has or can sell me

anyone else have any other options or does everybody just upgrade the stocker

The single stage setup looks the same as this but only one stage on the pump obviously.

These photos are of the "surge tank"system.

Imagine a fuel system setup with an external surge tank. However using oil. The front scavenger stage acts like the lift pump in the fuel tank, and the rear pressure stage acts like the external pressure pump.

The tank has some airation baffles and things going on inside, it obviously returns back the sump same as a fuel surge tank does.

Geoff pretty sure aviaid or dry sump.com do a full rb26 kit (maybe an external kit too), they are not on the site but are listed somewhere... just cant find it atm,

i just got a full AVIAID dry sump kit (3 stage) with largest tank, cast sump (billet avail), ati balancer and drive, breather / separator all fittings etc for about the same price as decent wet pump and large capacity sump here in aus..... 12 day from order in cali to delivery here in aus... awesome.

Honestly any serious 26 i do again will have one of their kits. Speak to john schwarz @ AVIAID in chatsworth California, see what they have avail.

Mazworx get all their sumps and parts via ARE http://www.drysump.com/index1.htm which also do some nice gear.

[Fantm 34]

Hi

im looking into the possibility of doing this a duel stage system on a forged RB26 build as I think I've got a short nose crank 

anyone have info on how to plumb in the duel stage system (as above) 

thanks
