Dry sump lubrication AND Air cond?

[Igor+]

Is it possible to fit both compressors in?

[GTRCLIVE]

Air-Con fitts in standard position mounting of the Mech fuel pump plate, Dry sump pump fitts where the alternator usualy goes, and the alternator is now a small compact item that fitts above and to the right of the water pump. Basicaly YES

But as Clive will tell you, you will have to fabricate a new alternator bracket position..as I (he) has had to on mine

I have the dry sump pump, air con and of course the new power-steering setup, along with a PTO take-off for powering ancillery equipment..like a hay bailer, or rotavator attachment. Ooh, sorry wrong thread, thought I was on Farmers' weekly.. Seriously though, if you opt for the dry-sump option and you are doing it yourself, I highly recommend checking out all the options beforehand, rather than diving in (like me) and then finding out that a lot of #ucking about is required.

Incedently I also bought a much smaller alternator to help with the limited space. The original item is rather bulky.

With all the extra ancilleries the space available does become a little sparse.

Such a DRY sense of humor!

There are two approaches to mounting a dry sump pump. One is to buy the standard pump and then to use a "riser" bracket to position it, the preffered method is to buy a pump that has a bracket that will fit the car. Weaver Brothers makes multiple bracket shapes that are no extra cost. Email them and they can mail you the full size templates of their brackets allowing trial fit on your car.

The alternator is repositioned on the right side of the motor, is a Nippon Denso unit. American Speed ships these alternators with a stunning bracket made by CR engineering.
