Stage II oil system?

[Trbobuick]

Guys,

Wet sump s2 block, high volume front cover, pte turbo saver, what else do i need?

 

[S2V6RACER]

Custom internal pickup and a pan.

You will need a pan and pickup...Lee Thompson and Terry Houston are two sources for these I've heard of. I am going to make one for my motor fairly soon; I'll probably post my trials and tribulations as usual.

Thats it?

Wow...thats simple.

Thanks guys

Just got my 1st 3.8 stage motor- will the stock oiling sys be adequit?? If not- what can you suggest. Im looking to run mid to hi 9"s.. Motor came with a "make shift" extended internal pickup tube. Did not look very reliable. I do have KB HI volume (spacer plt) oil pump on my stock set up.. Thanks LArry

I use KB spacer with 1/4" longer gears in my S2, internal pickup with typical front cover porting and have never had a failure, but my word is only good to 7,000rpm. as I have never been over....

I'd suggest a Duttweiler external system, as a minimum.
The logic being:
Running mid nines w/ a 3.8L engine means a serious "twisting of the tail", or a car that weighs ALOT less than most of us are sitting in.
I would think that overkill on the oiling would be of benefit.

Back under my oil pan!
