dcarrter21 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 i was looking into making one of these, does the pump have to run off a toothed belt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 Yes, I would say so. Never seen a V belt one, you MIGHT get a ribbed belt to work, but all the ones I have worked on have been tooted belts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Wonders how many BHP those bloody great pumps sap:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 As a gear pump is loaded pretty much relative to the pressure ratio across it and all but one section are just sucking and feeding an effectively open vessel, not as much as they might look as though they would Quite why anyone thinks it needs four scavenge sections just on the sump I don't know, 2 should do, 3 would be plenty, IMO.

bigbloodyturbo Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 would a supra need a dry sump with our engine layout and the fact that sup's tend not to hold massive lateral g like evo's and the like? Even for drag racing I thought that would force oil to the back of the oilpan and closer to the strainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Seems a bit pointless to me. The sump on it is about the same size as stock, so there won't be any benefits in terms of reducing the height of the block. The sloshing caused by acceleration, longitudinal or otherwise shouldn't be a problem to an engine with the correct amount of oil in.

Miguel Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I have seen those pics before as part of a build thread, are they from SF You've probably seen the pictures on Twins Turbo Motorsports site. It's their kit the pictures are taken from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodilx6 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Chris, I seem to remember you commenting the 2JZ not having any need for a dry sump for most driving. I'm guessing this is for full on race? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 Yes, for sure, and to get a big heavy old cast iron lump lower in the chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Twins Turbo INC Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hea guy's, I just was sent this by someone.. We have these dry sump systems running all over the globe. On road race as well as Drag cars for about 2 years now. Even on one or two street cars. If any of you have questions about our system or the 2JZGTE, I will do my best to monitor this and get the answers over to you. Thanks for looking at the kit and our site.
