All,

Not to hijack this thread but how about looking at the larger picture.

This is an issue with all 911s that have good grip and are used close to the limit cornering and braking. Also every street only 911 could benefit.

I’ll challenge all the pros and skilled amateurs to design a new dry-sump system that is similar to the GT3-RSR where it replaces the engine oil cooler. I’ll pay US$1.00 each for the best 100 designs.

As a first draft, it should:
Fit in the normal oil cooler location and up into the engine compartment.
Fit in all early (’65-’89) 911s, 914-6s, and possibly more later dry sump 911s and Boxters.
Not interfere with any existing chassis, intakes, etc.
Be a bolt-on replacement.
Be reliable to high Porsche standards.
Incorporate a full-flow filter in the pressure circuit.
Have a serviceable screen in the pressure pump pick-up.
Have a remote oil cooler with thermostat in the pressure circuit similar to the existing cooler (possibly use the existing cooler with an adaptor and air ducting.)
Accommodate all existing Factory front cooler systems and plumbing.
Be easy to install, service, replace, and change oil.
Have spare parts available.
Be reasonably priced considering everything Porsche.

Other things to consider might be a centrifugal oil-air separator and better oil-air management in the crankcase.

Some extensions might be to convert wet-sump to dry-sump.


The first stage is to better define the criteria I outlined above. Chime in everyone.


Best,
Grady
