Re: Lingenfelter Dry Sump System It might be made by www.drysump.com ask them. It's still not cheap. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Re: Lingenfelter Dry Sump System Yup its the same one. I have been looking for a dry sump system for quite a while now. I gave the guys at ARE (Armstrong Race Engineering/ www.drysump.com) a call about the complete LS1 unit. I talked to Gary there (GREAT GUY!!! spoke very highly of LS1tech.com). the cost for a complete 2 stage drysump system with everything including the remote oil filter brackets (pan, can, pump etc etc etc) is 1953.00. He also has an ATI dampner that will go with the kit that incorporates a 10% underdrive that is an extra 430.00. Here is the real kicker.....its streetable <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> . He doesnt recommend alot of stop and go traffic though. the entire kit will work on corvettes as well as the camaros. The only catch is you have to pull the AC pump. Here in washington thats no big deal, I never use it. Could be trouble in other places where the heat is a killer.
I am definatly going to be getting into one of these for ORR purposes.
I might be giving him a call about a possible GP.

Re: Lingenfelter Dry Sump System I have the ARE dry sump kit, but back when I recieved it, the oil pan had to be modified in order to clear the K-member, Allan at Futral Motorsports did all the fabbing and basicly it came out looking like what ARE offers now. So I guess you could call mine a prototype pan.
The whole kit from ARE is really nice and quality stuff, but the total weight of the ARE dry sump kit which includes: the dry sump pan, dry sump tank & the scavenge pump, and along with all the other things needed to make it complete and funcuntional that were not part of the kit (ie) the oil cooler, remote oil filter mount & filter(fram HP-6), Omni micron oil filter, Steffs oil breather, flex lines, AN fittings & 3 mounting brackets that needed to be fabbed and the oil came out to 70 lbs. BTW, the whole dry sump system holds 15 quarts of oil!
Needless to say oil changes have gotten expensive.
Another thing is that the ARE kit still utilizes the stock oil pump to supply oil to the motor.
I also have the ATI Super/Damper that came with the kit, but the one I recieved wasn't 10% underdrive, it was more like 60% underdrive. Basicly a ASA race pulley, because the dry sump kit I have is the exact same kit that the ASA race cars use.
I have a pic of the dry sump pan that was modified by Allan on the Futral Motorsports web site, or you can just click on my modifications in my signature and it will take you right to the site.

Re: Lingenfelter Dry Sump System I am glad to see that it is available elsewhere and a mere $260 cheaper. It is no big deal for me to lose AC, wasn't going to run it anyway. What does cause me concern is the 70#. I am putting this engine and trans into an 84 3 series BMW and I can't afford that much extra weight on my front end.
I have a local outfit that gets a lot of used NASCAR stuff, and I could pick up a Barnes pump and all the hoses and fittings somewhere in the neighborhood of $750. I would have to make the tank. Isn't 15 quarts a bit excessive. Wouldn't 10 - 12 suffice? I'll have to ponder this. Maybe I'll just go with the Holden pan.

Re: Lingenfelter Dry Sump System I think the weight issue isnt going to be in the front end of the car. The wieght will be the can and where ever you decide to mount it in the rear of the car. The ARE kit has a number of different cans you can choose from for capacity.
