I believe that is what they are called. Does anyone make one that will bolt onto the crank on a 7.3? Look like this.
Cog gear?????

Belt driven HPOP?

Install an ATI Damper and there is an entire world of those parts that can bolt directly to the front of the damper

No need with the options that we have access to now.

Lol, just kidding guys. Just trying to think a little out of the box in a couple different ways for oil issues.

Just put a dry sump pump onto it and make all your issues go away by brute force.

Exactly what I am looking into. Still gotta look into how the oil is ran through the front cover and the block to answer a few questions I have but I think I have a good idea. Also thinking that a Dual oil system (one for motor and one for turbo's) wouldn't be a bad idea either......

Are you talking for the turbo's? The only reason I was thinking to use 2 seperate systems was so if I do lose a turbo for some reason or other it doesnt wipe out a 14k+ motor. Keep them seperate to limit the potential damage from failure.
And for the tank I have not been able to find one specifically for oil but I figure if I can not find one that I can modify, I can always build my own.
Two separate systems would be a sinch, but you need to use a dry sump style tank for the system to function properly.
Maybe one of these for the lube oil:

And one like this for the turbo's:

You will need to have some type of tank with breather for the turbo's though, not to sure how the turbo would like to have its drain under a vacuum.

I was thinking of a tank just like that 3 gal one except I was thinking more like a 4 gal. Even with splitting the turbo oil system away from the engine I believe the extra capacity would be benificial. More time for the oil to de-aerate and also to cool.
I am trying to figure out how much oil you would have to move for a 30 second pull @ 4000 rpm and am not sure of my math but I believe it is like 5 gals of oil will be used by the inj. That doesn't include the bearings or anything.
As for the turbo tank, venting it off to atmosphere is def something that i believe would be necessary, although I don't think that a scavager pump would be needed for them. Just locate the tank below the turbo's and use gravity to drain the oil to the tank and a pump to suck it from the tank and feed the turbo's. That is basically how the stock turbo feed and return is set-up.

dry sump would be pretty simple. i made an oil cooler delete w/ 12an line so all you got to do is like i did but have a non stock pump feeding it. i have also heard of a dry sump setup that used the stock oil pump but that motor has a billet timing cover. and yea ati's are sweet, i thought maybe you were thinkin belt driven fuel pump.

Ya I don't think that it would be that hard to come up with a dry sump set-up, and I def have enough room under the hood for everything. Just trying to figure out if I should do the work for a complete dry sump set-up or just use a dry sump pump to compliment the stock pump.
I thought about using a belt driven fuel pump but for pulling I dont see why a electric pump wouldn't be able to give me the supply I need. Or if one won't then just run 2 of them.
