Anybody know if there was a blank boss on the block somewhere that could be drilled and put a pickup tube down through the block into the oil pan. I think I remember seeing a possible on mine, just too late to go look. I would be really scared to have something protruding off the bottom for any off road duty. I would definitely consider doing something similar in the future.

I guess that another option, as you mentioned in the first post, is to add the pickup line to the drain plug. Then the whole setup is easily reversible.

Nice job BTW; I especially like the logic you designed into the control unit.

Perhaps an additional control modification would be to add a shutdown circuit to run the pump after you kill the engine. This would kepe the turbo bearings cool and reduce or eliminate the need to idle the motor for 5 minutes before shutting it down.

Check the description again, he did that too.

Think about a dump valve "t" and just run a line out for oil changes. No need to crawl under the truck at all... heck, just run it into the fuel tank directly!

That could be a quick way to build one for a car as well. Might try a smaller motor though... Hmmm

Just trying to figure out how the oil lines connect to the pump. I know one is threaded so you can make up parts for that. The other I am lost on.

For those of you looking to do something like this, I found a good place to buy pumps. Go to the Reverso website and look at their used pumps category. You can buy their 311 for $114. It's 24v, self priming, does 3 gmp, and can push 22 psi. I just bought one for my deuce and am working on the timing circuit right now. I'll post the whole build up when it is done.
