Dry Sump

[KE20]

Has any one had any experience with dry sumping a 1UZ.

The demise of our previous engine was due to a great motorkhana course involving right hand circles, it was a blast until the engine started to 'rattle'.

With the installation of the 1UZ the centrifugal forces imposed will be a bit more than our previous 4 banger and I don't want to spin any bearings in this one.

How 'good' is the lubrication system in the 1UZ ?

I haven't had the opportunity to dismantle the sump and have a look at this stage.

In mid and rear mount sump the oil pick-up is on the right hand side (the P/S side). I don't know about front sump but logically it would be the same.


I have looked at the potential surge in my car and figure the best solution would be to deepen the sump and run a longer pick-up.

I could see a potential for surge on right hand corners. You could try overfiling the sump by 1/2 inch. Lots of race cars overfill their sumps to solve the problem. Many classes do not allow sump modifications.

Noddy,
Have a look at these photos of my boat and engine as I built it, there is a picture of my sump there. I silver soldered an oil cooler out of a auto transmission radiator into the sump to help cool the oil as there is no air flow around my sump.
