I have a oil pump...But, I've looked over these oil pumps for some time and Always wondered if you were to do something similar could or would it work? As it looks like it gets oil to the block quicker and the primarily pickup tube is not overworked. It seems to work as it says:
“The Energy Recovery pump includes a special port that reroutes a small amount of oil from the outlet side of the pump housing into the pumps inlet tube.”
“It creates a siphoning effect that primes the pump, improves oil flow and reduces cavitation at higher pump speeds.”

The older version had a port on the oil pump itself that was connected with a hose that ran along the oil pickup tube to get oil from the pan...
The newer version has holes on the oil pump face to gather oil instead of the port & hose. I always wondered cause the pump it self is listed at $600 - $630ish. Wouldn't the same thing work if done and save $$$.oo

Photo on the last page top of the page shows how the older version has a hose that runs to the pickup tube.
