Wet sump oil setup on a B series
Question: Does anyone have any good technical information on a wet sump oil setup for a B series motor?
Background information: I have an LS-vtec powered EF with the all-to-frequent oil problems associated with it (I got the motor from a friend, and I dont think he took out the oil plug on the head) and I have a turbo that I am planning on installing in a few weeks. Before I install the turbo I want to fix the oil problems so I dont exacerbate the problems with the extra oil feed line going to the turbo. Assuming that I remove the plug from the head and that more of less solves the vtec oil pressure problem, would a stock oil pump feed enough oil for a TD05-18G turbo and vtec?
I had been thinking about doing a dry sump setup for a while, but I have heard that B18 bottom ends don't suffer from windage issues, and that a wet sump setup is cheaper while being just as effective. Does anyone have any good advice for a solution to my oil problem?
The car will get its runs as a daily driver, a drag car, and a circuit car, so keeping it reliable is critical, and power is secondary.
