Nice solution to subie sump clearance - exy though!

how much?

Maybe later😂😂

hmmm, not much room in my engine bay! Alternator sits where there oil pump sits.

pffft i reckon my A/C compressor and $10 wort of scrap steel and pipe will do the same thing 😂🤪

frig me! Just buy a new engine instead 🤪🤪🤪

Pity the £2115.97 price tag dosen't include,
Oil Tank Hoses/hose ends
2007-2007 Subaru Alternator bracket,
Cosworth high volume/pressure oil pump

How much do you think the pump alone would cost on top of the £2115.97?

shit if I was going to go to that much trouble I would just go buy a Subaru wrx sedan.
no worries about the sump hitting then🤪😂🤪

I've seen pumps on ebay for a couple of hundred, you could start with a standard sump - etc etc.

Why bother sometimes....

cause you care😂
ok when young Joel starts production I may be interested.
it has to look a bit rough to go with the rest of my car,

hey mate, the idea is fine - just curious how the company selling it could justify the price tag!

i appreciate the post and the pretty pics!

all good Reubs

We appreciate you reub. 🙂 Well I do.

Some avd'ers are a bit hung up on telling people stuff is too much $$'s (not directed at you Mick)

Nice one Reub 👍

I always thought a dry sump would be a great solution for the sump clearance problem.
Why (besides cost) didn't anybody do it yet?

Hi

Wow that has got me thinking.

Steve

It looks like an oversize power steering pump...

good to know im not the only one that thinks the prices for dry sump pumps/kits is insane, that said its definately the best way to never worry about breaking your sump, so... about that exhaust/oil filter thats now the lowest point... the list goes on doesnt it?

Out of curiosity, does anyone on here have a source for fittings & lines for this kind of thing?

Hi

I just found this sump on a US site http://www.drysump.com/pan32.htm No prices though.

US$537


all this kind of cool, but remember asking JVL a while back if he was running a dry sump and he said he engine builder told him that subarus didn't need them as the sump was well designed to begin with. I guess AWDs may be a little different though.
