Project ToyoRati: FR-S with a Maserati V8...

Dumb question, how did you handle the oil tank valve to not flood the engine with oil when off?

Maserati used a vacuum operated ball valve of sorts. I was thinking of an electrical setup of some sort.

To be honest, that's a little beyond my level of understanding

Between the remote reservoir and the engine there's the pump, oil filter and oil cooler. I believe the pump feeds the engine with a pressurised oil feed so when 'off' the stationary pump, which is powered by either the crank or cam, will be holding back any further flow of oil.

I also don't know in what way production road-going dry sump systems differ to one designed purely for track use. I'd imagine a road car system would be a little more complicated due to it needing to run under a wider range of operating enviroments.
