Reply to "Racing Oil Pans (from another thread)"

Those look to me like -12 hoses. The AN system means that a -12 hose is 12/16", or 3/4"id.

The metric equivelent is 19.06mm. That's huge.

Usually -8 or 1/2" (and these are ID or inside diameter hoses) are recommended for an oiling system,

On my car I used -10, or 5/8" or 15.875mm id hoses. Those are plenty big enough.

USUALLY on dry sump systems you would use -12 hoses. Sometimes -16 or 1" or 25.4mm.

I definitely would eliminate as much of the unnecessary hose as possible. All that additional hose is an additional strain on the oil pump for no reason.

I understand the thought of using a remote oil filter and I suppose it is your choice of where to put it but I picked a different location then that.

When I did mine, it was before digital cameras and certainly before the days of my Sony digital, so I didn't take pictures.

As I said, I mounted my remote filter on the chassis near the right engine mount. I snaked the hoses under the oil pan over the chassis cross brace.

The Aviaid pan is notched there to clear the stock cross brace and makes a good protected spot to bring the hoses around under the pan but over the brace.

You guys are going to make me go crawling around under the car taking pictures and revealing all of my secrets.

I wonder if I will find any women s underwear and hotel room keys that they threw at me in there? Huh?

Probably just from the fat ones that you could make a tent out of? Roll Eyes
