preith Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I searched....What's the diameter and thread on the motor block filter boss, not the 3/4-16 filter side. I have the adapter out and measured it with the calipers at 17.8mm with a 1.5mm thread. 18mm?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preith Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 Looks like I get to reply my own post, that's a "no-no" right? Well anyways I should have stated that this is for my dry sump project. I stopped by my local race shop (Pegasus) and bought an 18mm X 1.5mm to 10AN adapter fitting. The adapter is about .07mm larger than the original, at 17.89mm total. It looks like it'll be tight, but will work. EDIT: here's a pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Now I'm confused. From the photo shown, the left and right side are vastly different, but if one side is supposed to be 3/4" (then this is very close to 19 mm), then it looks like a lot more than 1 mm difference between the left and right side in the photo?

The "factory" filter side is 3/4, but that end I wasn't worried about, I needed a 10AN fitting instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators BRAAP Posted December 22, 2005 Administrators Share Posted December 22, 2005 Phil, Any chance you would be willing to share more info on this dry sump set up, i.e. pan, pump, pump drive, etc. Pics would be nice as well. BTW, your head is coming along nicely. Will be starting the final seat work, 4-5 angle, etc the week after New Years. Barring any unforeseen issues that arise, end of Jan is looking pretty good.

preith Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 Hey Paul, I plan on taking some pics when it's done, but nothing to show thus far. I picked up a Patterson tank off ebay for $150, which I thought was a good deal. I had bought a used dry sump "package" from someone last year, which consisted of: ATI damper w/drysump mandrel ARE cast aluminum pan Weaver 3 stage pump. I have to fabricate the pump bracket yet, which is bolting to the AC mount on the driver's side. The final result will look almost identical to weaver set-up pictured in Honzowetz's book. I'm going off of his plumbing diagram too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
