This is the new mod for the street car , NBF 5 stage dry sump oil system
Enjoy
The Pump Many of the key benefits of a dry-sump system stem directly from moving the oil pump out of the oil pan and making it a separate unit driven by a belt off the crank. Because the pump is now outside the crankcase, it is actually capable of pulling the oil out of the engine, but also the air. By creating a vacuum inside the engine, oil is pulled off engine parts more easily instead of clinging, rings seat in the pistons better, and the resistance seen by the crank as its counterweights swing through the air is basically removed.
Even a small amount of vacuum inside the crankcase can be helpful, but when you built the engine you must be careful to properly seal the engine from leaks using proper seals and extra care. Still, Nextel Cup engine builders are using external oil pumps to pull a vacuum as strong as 26 inches of mercury. For comparison, a perfect vacuum is 29 inches of mercury.
External oil pumps are broken into stages. Typical dry-sump systems use pumps that are between three and five stages (even 6 stages now), One stage is always used as a pressure pump. In other words, it pulls oil from the external tank and pushes it into the engine oil galleries. One stage is strong enough to provide all the pressure necessary. For racing, where excess pressure means lost horsepower, the pressure bypass is often engaged. The other stages are all used to pull oil from the engine after the oil has done its job, and also create a vacuum in the crankcase. A single suction stage can adequately pull enough oil for proper lubrication, but multiple suction stages means a smart engine builder can pull oil from different areas of the engine as well as pull greater amounts of vacuum...
