Aviaid Dry Sump Packages for Chevy LT - Engine Builder Magazine

2023-01-05 17:17:38 By : Ms. Shaw Wang

Chevrolet’s latest engine family, the LT, can now be enhanced through the addition of a dry sump lubrication system from industry pioneer Aviaid. Benefits include eliminating power-robbing windage, assuring a constant supply of lubricant during hard acceleration, braking or cornering and providing a regulated flow of cool, clean oil to reduce engine wear. The low profile oil pan allows for lower engine placement. Related Articles - Engine Ice’s Ice Water Racing Coolant - Eagle Chevrolet LSX Bowtie Block - PAC LS Beehive Springs

Aviaid has developed block-hugging packages for both left and right-hand pump installations. They are available from 3-stage to 6-stage designs. Adapters can be employed for also pumping fuel or power steering fluid. Also available is an external wet sump pump, which replaces the stock unit and provides a constant flow — up to over 10,000 rpm.

Other components of the LT system (which can be ordered with single p/n convenience) include the fabricated aluminum oil pan, a remote filter adapter, mounting brackets, sump and vent tanks, drive pulleys, belt, and an ATI Super Damper specially designed for the Aviaid package.
