One of the things I've never done is plumb a street car for
a dry sump. There does seem to be some concern amoungst
some wheither gerotor, or spur gear is best, amongst some
engine builders. Some of the topics were
Spur more "forgiving" for particle matter
Gerotor most likely to "freeze" from particle matter.
Being multistaged more likely to suffer from the above, and
mysteriouly pitch a belt.
I'd seriously consider an "accusump" for pre-oiling the system.
Been years but at one time recall a series of bearing failures
on a developement engine that turned out to be a priming
problem..
One big advantage is being able to "over-rate" the scavege
section, and actually draw a vacuum in the crankcase, which
helps the ring seal.
