i am putting a 1uz into my hilux, i need to change from a front sump to a rear.
but i was thinking of using the stock hydraulic fan pump as a scavenger pump, and the stock oil pump to feed from bottom of the oil tank.
also hook up the hydo fan valve solenoid up to the oil level sensor to keep the oil level at the same height.
summary:
1. 10L oil tank
2: stock sump minus steel bowl bit. (flat ally plate)
3: hydo fan pump takes oil from bottom of sump to top of oil tank
4: stock oil pump with pickup going to bottom of oil tank
5: fan pump valve wired into oil level sensor to keep a set oil level
6: electric on/off valve in feed line to stop oil draining into oil pump
7: big ass oil pressure light and gauge.
8: there will be 2 or so litres of oil in the sump aswell
My reasons: clearance, more oil capacity, oil starvation on big angles, and if i remade the sump with a dropped bit at the back it would increse the chances of being hit and getting damaged,
