i saw it in the newest **SUPER STREET** i cant remember what brand it was (the mag was in my school library and the librarian was hovering over me so i couldnt rip it out) but they had a kit to make your honda dry sump.. what kind of hp gains would you see on a 250-300 hp turbo'd honda motor, would it be worth it for a street car? what are your thoughts

 

If you set up the dry sump correctly, you get:
better control of your oil pressure...that's a plus,
size it correctly and you will lower your oil temps...that's a plus,
more ground clearance to the oil pan...that's a plus,
more clearance for good headers...that's a plus.

$$$...the downside. TDC makes an excelelent pump - I use them and they have been bullet proof. I know the pluses and minuses I stated from experience - I would not build a serious performance motor without dry sumping it.

how much is a dry sump system?

 

A pump, bracket, oil cooler, AN hoses, oil pan, oil catch tank, modified pulley for driving the pump...I think I am into it for about ~$2000.
