Dry Sump Tanks at Aviaid

pick your poison...

Thats what i figured

Elmo370z · 04-09-2015, 05:59 PM

What about relocating the battery to the back, or ditching your windshield wiping fluid and putting it there, or would the location be a bad idea?

I just used a ruler and briefly measured my stock battery that is still in the car and it came out to 477ci. Plus or minus since I didnt get super accurate on the measurement. But that works out to 8.25 quarts.

If you custom fabricated a container for that compartment and maxed out on the dimensions that fit in there, im sure you could make 10 quarts.

You would also need to shave and relocate all the wiring too. But if your saying is correct you could put it there...

Sweet. Now would changing the oil be a major pain in the bass?

To change the oil, you are going to need to be able to run a drain from the oil-tank somehow.

On my race car (not actually my Z34) the dry-sump tank feed line to the pressure stage runs from the tank (in the passenger foot-well) to the pressure stage along the passenger side of the dry-sump pan (the line is covered in anti-abrasion / insulation and attached with "p" clips to the sump) and has a t-connector in it with a cap over the "t" at he lowest point of the line. I always lock-wire the "cap" to ensure it cannot come loose and spread oil under the car, onto tyres and/or the track.

When I want to change the oil (straight after each race event), I have the car on the hoist, undo the cap on the t-fitting and voila - around 9 litres of Valvoline VR1 empties into a strategically placed 10 litre bucket.

If you are serious about a dry-sump, you'll need to arrange something similar, OR provide enough slack in the supply and return lines to the pressure/scavenge stages so you can remove the tank to empty outside the car, OR invest in a suction pump to empty the tank in the car.

You simply need to engineer a solution - and there are at leasy 3 ways you can do - possibly more that I've not suggested here.

Thanks that really cleared a lot of questions. Now I just hAve to figure the cost for all this fabrication.

Elmo370z · 04-30-2015, 11:25 PM

Anyone know how thst car held up?

bullitt5897 · 05-01-2015, 08:52 AM

Hell yea

derraj06 · 05-20-2015, 10:40 PM

What throttle bodies did you use? I'm working on adapting some for my build and was curious if they are the same ones. PM if you'd like and thanks in advance!

Probably maxima ones at like 70-73mm. Only issue with those is it'll be pointless with the oem mani having such a small hole even with an adapter. His mani I'm sure accepted the larger TB with a bigger hole.
