Oil system diagram, and oil cooler installation & routing Options

[stugray]

I would like to design a dry-sump type of system for my race car.

One thing I have found is that diagrams that show how the stock system works and how to modify it for other parts (coolers, dry sump, "full flow",etc) are hard to find.
So I made this diagram in Visio (CAD-like) so I can move parts around and ask the proper questions.

Does anyone have any suggestions or comments about making the diagram 100% correct before I start trying to modify it?

I could provide the original file, but not too many out there have visio.

My next step is to get out a spare case so I can see EXACTLY where these parts go, exactly what any adapter might look like, and identify where all of the galley plugs would be in the diagram.

mrbubblehead, please post links to your diagrams.

Jeff Bowlsby, that is exactly the diagram I used to make mine.
since the original artwork is just that - artwork (bitmap) i decided to make a new diagram using a more modern medium so I can manipulate the pieces.

You might notice one difference: Mine shows that under extreme pressure situations, the first pressure regulator will dump back to the sump.

Notice the stock artwork "hints" at it with the open end on the lower right of the pressure regulator in the stock diagram.
This was based on a recent thread where 'worn' was troubleshooting a stuck regulator piston. (Brant has seen this as well)

I wanted to document what worn found during his rebuild:

That the system will dump back to the sump if the piston is "stuck" too far back in the relief bore.

My next hope is to identify where each of the case galley plugs are in the diagram.

I have seen many discussions about people plugging this or that, blocking off something over here, or installing things like a "Oil Filter, Block-off" or running the oil pumps that dont send any oil through the stock passages.

However during all of those discussions, there have been very few diagrams.
