[DeTomaso] oil scavenge pump

[Julian Kift]

Transmission or engine cooler?
 
On my transmission setup I use a Tilton PD pump http://www.tiltonracing.com/pdfs/43.pdf
 
If intended for engine oil cooling where are you locating the pump inlet/outlet, a loop in the oil pan? PD pumps cannot be run in series without a pressure break, so a conventional routing off the oil filter in conjunction with the oem oil pump would not work. Why do you feel you need a separate pump? If it is warranted then maybe wise to move toward a wet sump external oil pump system. IMO Peterson are one of the best when it comes to oiling systems and they have an R4 external wet sump oil pump for a SBF or a vacuum pump if you want to pull a crankcase vacuum. This is not going to be a cheap exercise though, the pumps run $550 alone. http://www.petersonfluidsys.com/pump_wet.html
