Title: Dry sump pulley setup Post by: andy198712 on September 02, 2012, 18:10:54 pm hello,
just trying to plan out a build, using the bugpack dry sump pump, i've got a small pulley that comes with it that uses a V style belt..... but not sure i could find a suitable top pulley to get my fan speed back up to daily driver speeds for cooling. seen some serpintine pulley setups also.... What are you guys running if you running a DS pump or have you heard of any good methods? PS, will be attaching a crank trigger to the pulley :) Cheers Andy Title: Re: Dry sump pulley setup Post by: DKK Ted on September 02, 2012, 18:35:07 pm You want to give Jack @ JC Ent. a call or e-mail him, he came up with a pulley set-up that might work for you.

Ted just sent him an email :) did you mean the cog pulley setup he does?

At some point I did the actual ratio math to figure out the fan rpms but don't have any of that information handy.

does it run ok?

The issue is whether your pulley is smaller yet than the conventional power pulley. If it is you might not have any other recourse than run the 356 upper pulley and live with a slightly slower fan speed. Even if the dry-sump drive pulley is smaller than the power pulley I don't know if you'd really miss that margin of cooling.
In a roundabout way I have some experience with running a 356 pulley on a dry-sumped engine . A customer of ours ran a 5/Unlimited car with a big type I. He went through engines at alarming rates--he DNFd more than once due to cooling issues. The 356 pulley I recommended solved his cooling issue. Bear in mind that this was an engine that ran flat-out all day long in a 2,500-pound car often in 100-plus-degree temperatures. I don't know if his pulley pulley was smaller than the conventional power pulley but I'd be willing to bet that it was. He ran a multi-stage pump which I believe requires a pulley smaller than the power pulley. hope it helps.

Using the 356 pulley saves me about £3-400 in pulley setups :) |
