What are some of the key benefits to running a dry sump setup vice OEM?

You can rev the motor higher since you don't have to worry about grenading the oil pump. You won't oil starve the motor in a high-g turn. Higher capacity. You also pick up a few hp since you eliminate windage losses.

Looks like I just found another hole for my money to jump into....sheeit.:icon14:

In comparison to the new CJM baffled oil pan, would the CJM pan suffice if the car isn't subject to excessive strain?

A big hole. It's not a cheap setup, and you lose AC unless you can figure out a way to make a custom setup. The oil pump goes where the AC compressor is.

As long as you stick to the factory 7500 rpm limit, a wet sump will be fine on these cars.

I think I remember that on a review...(highest hp NA). I live in GA, and I DO love my AC.

Good to know, I need to know my limitations lol...especially with the way I drive. (with a sense of urgency)

You think a bunch of untested parts will let you make more power NA than anyone has ever made by a large amount. It might, it might not. If you come to the table with a 400whp NA vq37, I'll make good on my end.

And he only hit ~370. You're shooting for 400, right? That's a tall order.

Elmo370z 02-02-2016 07:23 PM
If that mani flows like they say im sure woth c-85 tune or race gas with good set of heads will make close or not 400whp

Chuck33079 02-02-2016 07:27 PM
We'll see. They haven't shown any tests on that manifold. Flow isn't the only thing to worry about. You can flow too much and lose velocity. It may do nothing on a NA build. It may make fucktons of power. We'll just have to see what it makes on a third party dyno.

No A/C, No joy..... Just saying.

Elmo370z 02-02-2016 07:30 PM
Ill see if i can get a bracket made to keep my ac

BGTV8 02-02-2016 08:45 PM
And there is an alternative ...........

Also manifold .......

although you could CNC a plenum and run a pair of oversize DBW throttle bodies rather than 6 x itb
