Nifty Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Is there any reason why I cannot use a Caterham bell housing tank in conjunction with a Pace two stage dry sump setup? I don't have a lot of room in my engine bay for a seperate DS tank so would prefer to go with the bell housing tank. ======================================== Keep off the straight and narrow 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david nelson Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I do not know the answer but I guess the question is if the 4.5L oil capacity is big anough? The Pace system runs on a bigger capacity. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 You will have some creative plumbing to do as it only has one supply to the tank and the Pace system is dual scavenge. However one of the main advantages of the Pace system is the capacity of the tank which is much higher. IMHO the Caterham tank isnt really big enough. oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Day Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 IMHO the Caterham tank isnt really big enough. .......And that was why Caterham fitted a small "Apollo" tank to the original R500 to provide additional capacity/air removal. Why not fit a Brise kidney tank in front of the engine? Edited by - Mick Day on 20 Feb 2009 11:09:59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
