All the Subaru dry sumps I've seen use an adapter on the oil filter location. This allows the oil to be fed directly into the bearings etc. and away from the disused oil pump. But it hangs down too low and requires a relocated oil filter which is an overly complex result. Instead, I ran my oil feed ...

Theres a few dry sump oil pans on the market, but none suited this application so I had to build my own. I'm using a 3 stage pump which gives 2 stages of suction, so I need 2 outlets on the oil pan but they have to be at the front, to keep away from the exhaust. The rear of the oil pan is higher so ...

Thanks Bryan. Next up, I built a new coolant line that runs from the water pump, up the cam covers, under the oil pump, under the intake manifold and meets up with the existing line from the radiator, just behind the starter motor. Also in this pic, you can see the pump mount bolted to the alt brack...

The primary goal for my dry sump installation was improving the approach angle. N/A motors are bad enough, but when you have to contend with a turbo crossover pipe in front of an already low hanging sump and then raise the body and bumper away from it, the approach angle gets woeful and the componen...

After Finke 2012, I started work on the dry sump. It was handy having a blown motor to mock up everything and for grinding & welding without fear of damaging the motor. I bought most of my parts from Petersons in the USA and they were great to deal with. Good advise and superfast freight. First I mo...

Finke 2012 was the the quietest one yet. No Backyard Boys, no family, no crew at all. We didn't even have anyone to drive the truck but my good mate Dan (with the Ranger a few pages back) had his truck going down to meet him at Finke, so we through our spares, tools and fuel in too. Prologue was a p...

So if we rewind back to April last year, I'd put the front strut bulges into the bonnet so it could be lowered back down to it's original height, installed new rotary buckle harnesses due to the old ones being out of time and then presented the car for Bi-Annual scruiteneering in Alice Springs. http...

Maybe. I should point out that I have never done this mod to any of my cars, except the race Brumby in 2007 when, due to circumstances, we didn't end up racing anyway. Probably a blessing because it was nowhere near good enough to survive, and then we changed to MCA Suspension front struts in 2008. ...
