DS Pump

[Sandeep]

Pete,

Thanks for the info .. I've got a pump ordered now. Do you need a shut off valve between the tank and the pump ? I would think so if the tank is mounted high.

I think thats the valve you were opening when we went for a ride in you Super ?

Thanks

I have a ball valve in between the tank and pump. The tank is so high that if i leave it for a few days the motor "fills up". I've made it a habit to close it whenever i park, and open when i get back in. Not needed, but this way i'll never forget.

Hi Sandeep,

Both petes and my cummings pumps were bought from Ed schumer, petes pump is probably in good shape, lifter chunks went through mine, so mine is junk now.
I was told by crazy eddy that they are old formula vee pumps, they are nice cause they sit low and allow you to run a large fan pulley.
since messing up my cummings pump, i have tried the cb dry sump pump, which i still have and would sell, but i feel that its gears are too small for my turbo application. I have a deano pump now, which has nice sized gears, but will be a tight fit with all my fancy pipes and stuff back there.
I also have a ball valve on the feed, its a bit of a pain to remember to open it all the time, bad news if you forget. I'm thinking of putting a starter interlock on it to not allow the engine to turn over unless it is open.

hope this helps , bry

Hi Sandeep,
Didn't remember your email adress, so I'll post it here:
BAS dry sump pump is appr. 435 euro's. It has 30mm and 36mm gears according to the catalog and oval hand shaped ports to minimize pressure loss and should be a quality item.

Regards,
Walter

over the past 3yrs i've done it 5-6 times.
worst time was: parked under a carport for the night, and since it was outside, i put plastic bags over and around the velocity stacks. well the next morning in a hurry, jumped in the car, and fired it up. was still sleepy and thought, "wierd holding 2500rpm idle and oil light still on!!" finally woke up and shut it down (5sec). took the bags off that where sucked onto the butterfly's, and cracked the oil valve. fired up instantly with oil@100+psi cold, idleing 900rpm, no problem .

other times jump in, fire it up, oil light stays on, shut it off, open valve, no problem. i catch it right away.

usually, the oil light goes out as soon as it turns over, before firing.

Thanks to all for the information. I gave BAS a call, they are out of stock, more coming in a month.

I gave CB Performance a call on Monday, and had their pump here on Wednesday ! Now that was FAST.

I have ordered all of my AN fittings and hose, hopefully will be here early next week. I did not order their solenoid valve( ignition switch operated) until I check the oil level in the case after a night of sitting.

Cool!
Is the CB DS pump specifically for type 4 or is it sold the same for T1 as T4?
Couldn't find the T4 DS pump on their site, only the 99,95 DS pump for Type 1...
Is it a Schadeck?
How does it line up with the holes in the T4 case?

BTW, the solenoid valve seems like a good idea!

Thanks, I am looking into it myself also, hence the q's.

the t1 cb pump that i received was a Schadeck
