Drysump!

Drysump!
I have searched around and there seem to be minimal information on this. I have found a couple of places that do make drysump oil pans for the Miata. I am thinking perhaps I would like to go this way instead of using my billet oil pump mostly due to pickup issues under racing conditions.
Any thoughts on this?

Well the ATI damper pulley is perfect for that since there are a few attachments out there that connect there. So it would be a pulley! Filter Adapters
Same guys have the oil pan: Mazda Miata Dry Sump Oil Pans
Although I will need to contact them to see if it is a 1.6 or 1.8! However it should be too difficult to build if I need to do so!

drysump would be needed for more rpm, there is gonna come a point where miata pumps cant handle the rpm/power even with billet gears. i think the best thing about them is the ability to run a extra scavenging stage to act as a vacuum pump for the crank case (line from valve cover to pump - pump to catch can) you can then use a valve to control the vacuum and create a decent amount of power (well we have seen this on v8's on the engine dyno)

With all seriousness, even if they do not supply you with parts, they can give you advice on where to turn. They have been nothing but helpful to me.
I mentioned it because I remembered talking to them about it at one time just for kicks and giggles. They had the resources to make it happen.

I've seen oil pressure loss only under hard lengthy braking.
I now have an accusump.
But I do think there could be significant benifits to the breather system by going Dry Sump. Especially with very high hp. All my band aids after repeated failures to the breather system seem to barely work for track duty at 360 hp.
