How Does a Dry Sump System Work?
Dry Sump oiling systems are the safest, most dependable oiling systems available. They are popular in all forms of racing, especially where low chassis height is important for good handling. Horsepower gain is maximized because there is virtually no oil in the pan and no internal pump, so the windage tray or screen can run the full length of the pan. Other advantages of a dry sump system include a remotely mounted oil tank for increased capacity, the ability to easily add remote oil coolers, more consistent oil pressure, adjustable oil pressure, improved scavenging and increased ring seal due to greater pan vacuum.
