was thinking bout running the oil pump off the cam gear any input ?yeah or neah ,,i know they run the waterman fuel pump from their but im not sure if the oil pump is a bit to much

 

Why don't you want to run it off the crank?

 

is the cam gear going to spin the pully fast enough to obtain the good pressure?

 

You can run the pump off the cam, you will not need a reduction pulley. Sean Carlson did it on his Focus, we made him a gear for it. It is always better to keep the pump low though.

 

Be careful with the tension of the belt. I've done what you are talking about, driving the pump at a 1:1 ratio to the cam gear, just be careful which direction you pull the tension, and how much tension you apply.

I would rather you drive the pump off the crank at 1/2 speed. That's the safest route.

i would love to but being this is in a civic i just dont have the room never mind the pump just the ati or fluidamper it self dont fit you got to notch the chassis wich i really dont want to do this is a street car set up for sfwd last season then i got to mod to mount the pump in a good spot wich i dont mind doing but as i get deeper and deeper into this it seems like everything is a prob with this pump so im looking at a diferent route on running this pump

 

heres wat i did...been running strong for 2 years now...... after i blew a stock oil pump gear and a prodrive gear!!!! best money i ever spent!!!

did you have a CTR pulley when you broke two oil pumps?

 

edit....oopps

 

is the ctr pulley too light for forced induction? does it throw everything out of route?

 

nope i had the stock pulley on....i just switched to the ctr when i put the external pump on.....i did everything to try and run a stock style pump...balancing, checked the crank, the block.....and it still broke....

 

how much do you have in that oil pump setup?

did oyu have to get a new pan too?

 

i got about $1300 canadian in this set-up but i got stuff cheap from a friend of mine through his shop.....i welded onto a stock oil pan....

this set up is great for a b series their are no probs at all,,,, i got a h22 wich rite off the bat has the alternator on the front rite about where you have the pump mounted then the boot is it is in a civic chassis so the dampner {ati or fluid]sits rite under the frame rail and thats after you beat the frame rail to barely fit under then you have to mount the peterson gear on front of that wich means i wound have to mount the pump under the chassie so the belt dont run into the frame rail

 

TTT

 

You should call Z10.
They have a kit that replaces the factory H22 pump and allows the dry/wet sump belt to sit "behind" the timing belt. That should eliminate your concern.

 

O-REALLY

 

any pics of the moded pan?
