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.

 

I've seen pics of at least 1. But it requires a custom oil pan, pump, tank, lines and filter.

If spending 3K on an oiling system interests you, go for it.

 

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.

 

the c-west car i think uses the tracy sports dry sump which on bulletproofs website runs for 10grand
