INSTALLING A NASCAR DRY SUMP OIL SYSTEM

Today Danny is assembling and installing the dry sump oil tank and lines for our TOYOTA SUPRA track day build!

[@TheRdub82]

Good video sir! You really gave a thorough presentation on the complete dry sump system in a race car. We put a dry sump in my 68 Falcon with a 430W. Thanks for sharing!

[@stockcarsurplus]

Glad you enjoyed it and that it was helpful!

[@rogergarrett1078]

I thought I knew a lot about oiling systems in both wet and dry sump but you explained all the engineering that went into it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@stockcarsurplus]

Glad it was helpful Roger! There's definitely more than people think! Thanks for commenting and supporting the channel!

[@johnmcmahon1601]

Great video! I look forward to these every week!

[@stockcarsurplus]

Glad you enjoy them!

[@shayrailroad2012]

Another fantastic video!! Sat down and watched it twice over the last couple of days enjoying a fresh hot cup of coffee. These videos are inspiring to me as I am currently building my new race shop in our new home, i enjoy how neat and organized your shop is and very clean.. Definitely the look I’m going for in my shop.. Learning the details that you discuss really lets me appreciate watching NASCAR more and more especially the trucks and Xfinity series even ARCA.. Thanks again.. Bryant, Looking forward to next video..

[@stockcarsurplus]

Thanks for the kind words, Bryant! I'm glad the videos help! In a world full of negativity, what we need most in car culture is a community that inspires each other and builds comraderie.

Uno de los mejores videos que he visto de mecánica de competición, gracias desde España

[@stockcarsurplus]

¡Gracias! Me alegra que lo hayas disfrutado ! ¡Gracias por su apoyo!

[@TheIrkenSIR]

There is a certain confidence and satisfaction doing these things yourself when preparing a race car/bike. The first time you turn in at 180kph, you have the trust in your own ability during the garage preparation. Great stuff.

[@stockcarsurplus]

Absolutely! No better feeling than doing it yourself!

[@nicklashbrook]

Love the channel! It's a great way to see and learn about the building of the cars we don't get to see much otherwise. Keep up the great work!

[@stockcarsurplus]

Glad you enjoy the channel Nicholas! Thanks for the compliment!

[@Jake-yx7ct]

This has been a very good lesson for me a NASCAR fan with minimal knowledge of the mechanical items. I never knew the difference between a wet or dry oil sump system.

[@stockcarsurplus]

Glad you enjoyed it Jake! Thanks for taking the time to comment about it!

As an Aussie who got into NASCAR a few years ago after a lifetime of V8 Touring Cars (Super Cars to you guys) I LOVE this types of videos Its so completely different to anything we have here. NASCAR here was always considered "boring as they only turned Left" and it wasnt broadcast anywhere but expensive on primative early Cable systems that only showed a few races a year at best in the heyday I remember watching the Daytona 500 once on replay on OptusVision in 93 (i think?) Im COMPLETELY bored with V8 Supercars (you couldnt pay me to watch it) and learning about NASCAR, its History and how its all done is sooo refreshing Youve got a sub for life here!

[@stockcarsurplus]

Glad you enjoy it David ! Thanks for taking the time to comment and subscribe! I greatly appreciate it! The 2005 Mark Skaife HRT Commodore has always been my favorite V8SC ! The 888 is a close second!

[@YouCantSawSawdust]

What Supercar team do you work for?

[@cratchity]

I'm loving' it! I especially like that hat on top of the cooler.

[@stockcarsurplus]

Glad you like it Will ! I got that hat from the Best in the business!

[@ricknorris6943corvair]

Very informative build process. I like your attention to detail, which is my style of build quality. I decided I liked it well enough to subscribe.

[@stockcarsurplus]

Glad you liked it Rick !

[@vwjay94575]

Absolutely love these videos.

[@stockcarsurplus]

Glad you like them!

[@TurbineResearch]

Thanks for the detailed video with explanation! I buy stock car parts off eBay from time to time and i love learning how they were originally placed in the car. Thanks !

[@stockcarsurplus]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting and supporting the channel!

[@STi06LE]

Great Video sir, but you have to secure your nut of the heating element against loose.

[@stockcarsurplus]

👍

[@davemirabella6049]

Very informative. Looking forward to the track day prep video.

[@stockcarsurplus]

Glad you enjoyed it! I think you'll enjoy the next video aa well!

[@rodneyrhonemus3197]

Thanks again Danny great video

Thanks Rodney, Glad you enjoy it and thanks for supporting the channel!

[@anthonysaoulidis6340]

Thanks for the education. Now I know why this system is so expensive.

[@stockcarsurplus]

Glad you enjoyed the content.

[@davidlemottee2063]

Fantastic video - really enjoy your content. I'm sure your channel will blossom. I'm writing from Melbourne Australia (not Florida).

[@stockcarsurplus]

Thanks David! Glad you enjoy the video, thanks for taking the time to let me know! I appreciate your support from down under!

Thanks Ross !

[@shonteljordan9855]

I enjoy watching your videos

[@stockcarsurplus]

Thanks ! I'm glad you enjoy them and thanks for commenting!

[@damonbaggs3296]

Thank you. That was the best dry sump over view I've found recently... very informative. What or how do you check fluid level with that set up? I've seen either a sight gauge, dip stick, or even a electrical type sender used...

[@stockcarsurplus]

Great Question Damon ! I made an aluminum dipstick that is marked in inches. I'll show it in the next track day prep video.

[@mikekenyon3322]

Hi, the heat band needs to be on the lower half of the tank where the majority of the oil is sitting. Mike

[@stockcarsurplus]

Probe heats the cold oil in bottom and the band heats the tank shell. It allows the oil to heat more evenly.

[@williambarry8015]

If I was a gazillionaire and wated to start a NASCAR team the first thing I would do is hire this guy.

[@stockcarsurplus]

Thanks ! I appreciate the compliment!

[@stevesidden9584]

Love your channel I watch the show I like to see more of the dry sump I've never had to drive something till now and I was asking where did you get your hard lines from but I can't seem to locate any from my mom's got soft lines and where did you get the springs that goes into suction lines. Keep up the good work I look forward to seeing more 👍👍👍👍

[@stockcarsurplus]

[@billyj.williams2341]

Just FYI, putting the dry sump tank in the driver's compartment of the car was a mid to late 1980s innovation and started with the Speedway cars only. Short track cars typically had the tank mounted on the driver side firewall/crush panel next to the master cylinder for weight bias.... Eventually, I guess speeds got high enough even on short tracks that the teams started moving them inside on everything by the late 80s early 90s. Enjoy your channel, Semper Fi.

[@stockcarsurplus]

👍Evolution has certainly changed a lot of things about them. The primary reason for moving them from the firewall are was that blown tires were ripping off oil lines and causing fires.

[@johnsnow1355]

I was thinking u would want the oil tank near the CG so it's less affected by slosh and g forces.

[@stockcarsurplus]

Great question. The baffles in the tank help control the oil movement and the Series rules mandate its position and location in the chassis.

[@chadhorner1031]

Great video as always, can you make a video on proper storage of a nascar track day car. You mentioned getting all the fuel out of tank. What is the proper way of doing this. Thanks in advance!

[@stockcarsurplus]

👍

[@shoominati23]

Man,, that braided Kevlar hose is the poop. It's like only 40% the weight of braided steel hose, which can add up to a lot of weight especially keeping in mind the amount of hosing on your average cup car nowadays. It's not cheap though, and I've only ever seen it sold thru Earl's tubing. (Like he mentioned in a previous video - You can buy assorted lengths of ex cup car hosing by the ton if you want, they only run it for 2 races , so you can get inventory that would have a ton of life left in it, especially if you are using it in a road car application.. P.S. Don't the big teams have like a giant hot water jet wash vat or ultrasonic cleaner they throw all their oiler coolers, hoses, tanks and fittings etc into after every race to fully clean them? Because you buy race used stuff and inside it's pristine cleaned like it was never used really. I'd like to see what they use

[@stockcarsurplus]

Most have ultrasonic cleaners and hot tanks these days.

[@reecespieces3413]

Wow, this video is insanely helpful. I'm working on my own road course stock car project right now from an old Richard Petty Driving Experience car that I got for cheap. The car was complete and ran, but it uses a wet sump system. Bits of the dry sump system are left over and I'm trying to rebuild it with used NASCAR parts. One question: Where did you get the oil hard lines? I pretty routinely check Iron Horse Auctions but I haven't seen anything like that come up for sale yet.

[@stockcarsurplus]

Glad the videos help ! You can get the lines at several used parts houses in Mooresville.

[@van-tc1cl]

Wonderful video, not a lot of good dry sump videos. Could you tell me in what situations would you use the double o-ring wiggins fittings? I have a ton of BMRS hoses with single o ring ends which make sense for soft to hard lines but wouldnt a double be better on the dry sump tank for instance. I also noticed that almost all ORB to wiggins adapters are double and most but not all weld ons are single. Thanks in advance love the videos....

[@stockcarsurplus]

Glad you enjoyed it! Most double Wiggins fittings are used in extreme high pressure and vibration points. All of the ones I've used have been on dry sump pumps and pan lines.

[@jamesswanson1139]

Yep it holds the wet oil....

[@stockcarsurplus]

[@autobodyspecialistsinc.4397]

If your interested Danny I have a really good Huck hydraulic riv-nut tool. Much better than the pop rivit style tool, provides a much better bite. am in the drag race park in mville daily. just thought i would share with you if you have some interest in one.

[@stockcarsurplus]

Thanks! I appreciate that, I'll keep it in mind next time I need one!

[@jayirving6996]

ill take dirt late model dry sump plumbing any day... that tank/filter looks like a real pain in the ass....

[@stockcarsurplus]

🤣

[@shoominati23]

Hey, I'm looking for a Cup spec Holley 830 carbs with all the racing mods. I refuse to pay the Ebay reseller massively inflated prices, they don;t help the racing scene. If you can help, can I plz email you? Cheers, Tom.

[@stockcarsurplus]

Ebay is your best bet. I don't know anyone selling them cheap.

[@angelozararis8096]

Nice work

[@stockcarsurplus]

Thanks Angelo!
