1. The engine could run out of oil causing total engine failure.
2. The more oil that is being carried in the engine the less efficient it becomes, due to the fact that the components such as the crankshaft & con-rods have to wade through the oil causing dramatic losses in torque & horsepower.

SBD have helped Titan to develop a new dry sump system for the Duratec engine, the pump is made up of billet housings machined from solid. The large capacity rotors are a very high flow which we have found necessary for the Duratec engine due to it's aluminum construction which means as the engine warms up the bearing tolerances grow & therefore requiring a high flow pump. The system is available with 2 different sump pans; one design with a full length trough ideally suited for Caterham/Westfield types of car, the other sump pan has a cut out specifically designed to clear cross members on cars such as Escorts or similar. The sump pan also has significant improvements on the scraper plate to remove the oil from the crank faster & direct it into the scavenge area of the sump.

OS-DSK-DURATEC-4-F3-E We
have designed a dry sump system specifically for installations where
the engine needs to be fitted as low as possible in a car such as
Formula 3 type or sports cars. The sump pan is 25mm deep & CNCd
from an aluminum billet, in order to make the system shallow yet
efficient it has been machined from both sides. There is then a
lower plate screwed on from the underside to enclose all the scavange
detail. The oil pump bolts directly to the sump pan as close as
possible to the engine block on the exhaust side of the engine.
The pump has been specifically designed with an extremely high capacity
3-stage gear type pump. It has been extensively tested on our own
SBD Reynard & has performed perfectly. Note: Due to the height of the dry sump system you would need to run a 210mm diameter flywheel. Please see link our small flywheels. |
