Dry Sump + Turbo
Dry Sump + Turbo I have switched directions on poweradders, and I had a question on single turbo oiling with a Dry sump.
I have a ARE (Armstrong Racing Engines) 4 Stage dry sump system.
My question is do I still tap the oil return to the pan? If it is in the pan will the scavanging of the dry sump pump help pull the oil out of the turbo? If it does help do I still need to be concerned that the return is always running downhill?
Thanks

No ventilation system. The crankcase is sealed, forcing the drysump to pull a vacuum in the crankcase. All the blow-by would then exit at the dry sump tank. This is common on NA engines and is getting more common on forced induction as the pumps get good enough to hold vacuum at high hp levels. The vacuum helps keep the rings from fluttering on the direction change and the piston operates in less atmosphere making more power available at the crank.

Ahh, so in the very basics, the engine sees no vent to atmosphere beneath the top of the piston correct? I'm guessing that the PCV system is totaly elliminated or sealed going this route?
EDIT: Just curious, who else makes dry sump pans and setups for LSXs other than ARE and Canton?

I have never used a Canton pan for a LS engine. The daily pan is a low profile road race pan that has the pump bolted direct to it. There are no scavenge lines, it is all internal in the pan. We use the ARE pan the most. The Daily is used when you need the engine extremely low in the car with a 5 stage system.

Me, I was just curious. We're talking like 5 motors down the road before I'd even begin to think about needing that kind of setup,

I have the same setup and did the same. The only problem I am running into is oil going back into the turbo at the end of the track when I pull my shoot.
