Dry sump
Has anybody ever installed a dry sump oil system on their Honda, or know somebody that has?
I've heard about Canton possibly having a system, or at least the parts that would work, but I would like to know if it's worth it.
The vehicle will be mostly race, but it might see some time on the streets.

correct me if im wrong, a dry sump oiling system's main advantage is to do away with the "bulky" oil pan in favor of a slimmer one so the engine can be mounted lower, therefore, lowering the overall center of gravity of the vehicle. correct?
so to take full advantage of a dry sump oiling system, you gotta spend thousands more to relocate your engine.
the c-west carbon s2k had it's engine mounted lowere in the engine bay didnt it? anyone know if that engine had a dry sump system as well?

One advantage is lower engine mounting.
The biggest advantage is have oil pressure all the time, especially is long high G turns where oil is pushed away from the pickup.
There is also some power to be gained in reduced windage because the oil is positively evacualted from the crankase.
