Does Anybody know what the oil requirements of a ca18det are? I want to run a dry sump system however the company im speaking to need to know how many litres per minute the engine needs to decide which pump will work best

Cheers

Nothing in the FSM. All it talks about is the oil pressure requirements vs. RPM. You'd probably have to do some bench testing to figure out the flow rate.

you have to turn the oil pump at the same RPM than the engine,and test it with oil,to know what is its flow
