bsimon Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Has anyone here had experience with centrifugal oil/air separators? I refer to the type bolted to the back of multi-stage external dry sump pumps. The reason I ask is; wouldn't this make oil/air separation in the tank unnecessary? I'm trying to squeeze an oil tank into a dedion chassis without removing the passenger's extended foot well. There's not enough space between the foot well and the exhaust primaries to place an Easy-Clean type tank. I can fit a custom oil tank, but it's got to be small, only oil. NASCAR and drag racers have used centrifugical separators with great success for years. I just haven't ever seen one on a sports car. I understand there is a balance between atmospheric breather air pressure and scavenge oil pressure that's critical to proper operation. Get it wrong and the sump scavenges onto the track. ?? -Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 give the guys at razor performance a call. A while back I was toying with the idea of going dry sump, and they seemed pretty knowledgeable on this specific topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
