BMW M62 Engine DIY drysump on a offroad trophy rig
Posted: May 8th, 2013, 2:11 pm
Hi,
In order to have at least one meaningful post here I thought I share some pics of our teams trophy rig engine dry sump setup. We did not plan to use the dry sump initially but since everything got really crowded with the build then this is what resulted. Since we need two generators and additional location for the steering pump we had to mount the oil pump straight to the crank. Not really an elegant solution but will get the job done. We have been running this setup now for more than 4 years quite well. Pics here are meant as inspiration :)

As you can see on the picture we had to reverse a lot on the engine. Intake has moved to the back.
Some pictures of the new oilpan
