Any ideas on how to increase oil flow volume??

***Herblenny*** · 02-24-2009, 02:57 PM

Well, I considered going with Mazdacomp dry sump system to increase the flow.. But obviously it bit too much (set up about 4-5K).

Anyone have any other suggestion to increase oil flow volume?? Any trick to modifying stock oil pump etc??

Not really... a Mazda comp 100psi+ pressure regulator will do.. but not much.

If you want oil pressure dry sump is the way to go. 2900.00 front cover with tubes+ oil tank, fittings and lines 600$$ max. 3700.00 will be at most. Or you can go external dry sump cheaper if you know how to set it up and much more pressure than Mazda comp dry sump...

Porting and enlarging the oil galleys wont do much if you don't have the pump to push the oil.

Hope that helps

well there is another way to do the dry sump. I read a write up about it a little while back. Essentially, you use off the shelf "v8" type stuff. The flat bottom pan is simple to make, then you run your own connections to a moroso dry sump. Ill see if i can find it. I have thought about the setup a bit recently so im curious myself.
