oil system, what can I do? Options

[dans_st]

I have read alot about turbo engines and common problems and one thing that I have seen alot oil systems not producing a steady supply of oil on turbo engines(N/A as well I'm sure) that are making alot more power than what they were designed to.
And or lack oil in the high RPM range resulting in spinning rod bearings.

I already have an oil cooler and the relocated oil filter(I know relocation doesn't help). Is there anything else I can do to imrove the factory oil system?

(1)would a larger capacity oil pan help?

(2)is there a larger volume oil pump for our cars?

(3)can I use a DRY sump oil system?, are there any available


I know I probably am not exeding the limit of my factory system yet, but I am trying to plan ahead and have the safest most efficient engine I can have- So any help would be appreciated

  oil squirters from a 4ag if you want extra internal oiling ask fallen about it he was looking into adpting it into the 7a block

Is this something that may be custom done by a machine shop? because none of the machine shops around here are willing to do anything custon

And, don't the oil squirters allow you too run a little more boost (crank and rods permitting)by also cooling the pistons?

  Typically it's not a problem with our engines, but there probably is a higher capacity oil pump out there... you can also shim the stock pump to put out more pressure...

1. Not really

2. Maybe

3. Yeah but be ready to pay $$$ and it'll be all custom

(1)how do I shim the oil pump?how does that work?
(2)would the larger oil capacity hurt the engine?-as far as too much oil
(3)is there anywhere that anyone knows of to BUILD me a custom dry-sump system?And if so around what price range?
(4)Is there a better oil pump that will transfer into a 7AFE(possibly 4ag)?

I'm not going to take time to answer your questions, and here's why: You're barking up the wrong tree. Seriously. These engines DO NOT have oiling issues, you don't have to worry about it. Spend you time worrying about more important things, like ENGINE MANAGEMENT.
