Lynn would probably have some idea. As best I recall (long time), the
pump put out around 150psi and the regulator dumped sufficient oil back into the
pan to keep it around the 80 psi mark – depending on which regulator (stock or
performance).
I’m fabricating a plugs up oil pan and block off plate for my
spare Renesis and new turbo FWF. I’m using Ed’s pictures as a general guide for
fabrication. I’m a little concerned about the oil drain back path
and volume. The path from the center iron and rear iron \ regulator would make
most of the oil flow toward the front iron and down past the oil pump as the
bottom of the rotor housings and center iron are flush with the block off plate.
I will incorporate a recess in the block off plate to provide a more direct
drain path over the rotor housings and center iron humps. The block off plate to
external oil tank drain has (7) 7/8” holes. I’m hoping that’s enough to
keep oil from backing up into the oil pump chain and engine cavity. I am
considering using an external oil pressure regulator installed at a remote oil
filter with bypassed oil feeding directly back to the tank. I know the 13B
oil pumps flow about 15-16 gpm but I have not located any information regarding
how much is bypassed by the regulator. Any ideas?
