NotStock Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 I am not 100% convinced that my turbo is high enough to properly drain into my sump under gravity. It might be, but I won't know until I get the bike full of oil and at its final stance. I can't move the turbo, so I am contemplating a sump and scavenge pump. I have two questions - does anyone know of mechanical pumps still out on the market? I have done a ton of searching, but I only come up with dry sump car systems (extra massive overkill) or references to pumps that seem to be defunct (emtes for example). If anyone knows of a good mechanical pump, please fill me in because I am getting nowhere. Second question is do I need sump or tank or whatever? I have noticed a lot of guys just running the -10 turbo drain line straight into an electric or mech pump. I like the simplicity of this setup, but I worry about not having a vent on the line between the turbo and the pump. In my mind you want the turbo to drain to atmosphere and have the scavenge pump pulling from a vented tank. I hope I am wrong, because I hate the idea of a bunch of unnecessary parts! Quote
Maggotbreath Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) The Emtes pump was made by Mikeal Karlson ( MKR Racing ) He still makes them, Don't have his address anymore but you should be able contact him through face ache. Edited April 23, 2019 by Maggotbreath details Quote
Maggotbreath Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 I got 55,000 km on my Emtes pump, no issues except my first catchtank was to small. After chatting with Micheal we determined my tank size calc was way off doh! Quote
