I know how a typical belt-driven dry sump system works. The one for rotary engine is weird....it's mounted on the front cover, and it has 2 connections. It appears to be internally driven for I can see no belt. How does it work? Does it use an oil tanks like a conventional dry sump system?

 

Yes, it draws from a tank usually mounted on the fire wall or in the car .

I have the the peterson dry sump system for the RX7 and it has been modified so that the pump actually is mounted on the front cover and is driven by a two inch

toothed belt with the new main pulley. The oil pan is non existent so you can lower the motor several inches and not hit the ground and lower the CG of the car.

It depends also on which version from Mazda Comp you get.

 

how much does it cost?

 

Sorry forgot about this post....over $1,000.00 The other I think is even more.

I dont have my camera to take pics. I'll probably sell this one cause I have not used it. Its all still in a box in the attic. But it still wont be cheap.

 

Damn I'd like to see pics too

 

dang....

 

O.K. , O.K. ........

This is from my GT2 . It has a big cog pulley, piping and you have no pan.

quality stuff. May be I should ebay it.

 

SUM MOR......
