No loss in pressure Tom the centrifuge doesn't affect it at all I was mearly stating a tm fact to another member I lose no pressure from the centrifuge at all it wouldn't work at 10 psi because of the plunger it needs almost 30psi to open the plunger it donsnt cause pressure loss I just want more is all.

Note that the oil relief valves dumps excess pressure into the pan. Even if you were able to access oil upstream from the oil relief on the side of the block, it would still be limited by the relief valve setpoint (40 psi). I am assuming that the LDT465 et al has the same setpoint. You would have to change this setpoint to gain higher oil system pressure. Find a copy (free pdf) of TM9-2815-204-35 which has a nice description of the multi (the best one that I've seen) and it should help explain how the oil system works. Given that nobody appears to have done this before means you may have some trial and error ahead of you.

No pics or diagrams, you will need to engineer and manufacture what I suggested.

you are never going to get the pressures you say you need, the pump just is not large enough. that is why that type of filter is sized to the engine not the other way around as you are doing.

I think your wasting your time and money(just my opinion).
haha, thats what some people told me when I bought/ modded my Mil. truck! were they right? maybe, maybe not but I enjoy the process:naner:

I would like a similar system but for use in FUEL line for WMO.:shock:

New Ideas, methods, mods, products ect. should always be encouraged. Many times better way of doing things are uncovered in the process, even if the end result as a whole is less than expected.:neutral:
