i saw a really neat way to get dry sump benefits without all the cost and hassle. an autocrosser guy i met has a gallon sized oil tank mounted next to his seat. its got 1 big dump valve at the opening which goes to the oil galley POST oil filter.
the way he explkained it to me how it worked was you verfill the engine with about a gallon of oil. you open the dump valve and allow the engine to idle untill the ank bleeds off enough oil pressure and oil to mostly fill the tank.
then when you take off on youre autocross course, during the corners when the oil pump pickup tube canyt get oil and the engine is starving for oil you pop the dump valve which loads the engine galleys up on oil post filter where it does the most good.
during the straights you keep the dump valve open so it can repressurize with oil using the oil pump. once it is full you close the valve and wait for the next corner.
the tank had a dual bladder thing where 1 side ket oil in and out and the other was filled with air and had a schrader valve type dealie so he can adjust the air pressure to fine tune the sustem.
the neat thing about this setup is you get basically all of the dry sump benefits without any of the haddles, expense, complexity, or extra weight. all you need is a gallon size tank, some hose and a dump valve.
