Magnus Dry Sump!

The alternator is in OEM location. What it does is give you 3 pumps just to pull oil from the pan, one to pull from the head and they go to a large external reservoir then a final pump that lubricates the engine from the big reservoir's oil supply. When you start to see real G forces a normal oil pickup cannot stay submerged in oil and you push air through the engine instead of oil. This keeps the oil pure, controls the pressure properly and provides vacume in the crankcase that frees up power and keeps you from pushing oil out through the turbo.

A lot of high boost DSMs pop out dip sticks and blow oil through the turbos due to high crank case pressures. Even when my car was a 450hp street car I had issues with that. Over time it was beating up the engine bearings. You could see oil pressure drop on hard launches and braking.

I really want to follow this. A badass car just got even nastier!

there are a few people confused with what dry sump is. in a nutshell.... dry sump is a different way of sending oil through the engine. rather than an oil pan with a oil pump pick up tube submerged in the oil, dry sump is a pump, or series of pumps that feed constant consistant oil to the oil feed system on the engine. this allows for the car to work at crazy angles and maintain lubrication and oil pressure under serious later G forces. to the oil pump will never "suck air " and starve the bearings. VERY COOL. great work guys.

Probably a retarded question but where did you get that hood or where would i find one to purchase?

We are working on making that hood for cars with stock body now. I'll start a thread when its ready to go.
