What is this? Dry sump turbo??

well it's clearly not a production motor. but is that a v-6 and we're only looking at the right bank? Also, what's the "hat" on the end of the compressor? Double also - whatever is running that vacuum pump is also scavenging the oil from the turbo, because that is certainly not a gravity line. Pretty sweet dual purpose auxiliary drive setup whatever it is.

I have an similar unit on my drag racing engine. It's a mechanically belt driven external oil pump with vacuum pump, but not a dry sump. The external oil pump would have hoses off of each stage back to an external canister if it was a dry sump system with pickups in the oil pan. Remember: Vacuum Good!

We were discussing manifolds on Honda-tech last year when somebody posted a link to the Gurneyflap site.

If you look at the mini "compressor", it sure looks like it is blowing into the block. In order for it to be making vacuum it would have to spin "backward" of what we see in a normal turbo compressor. If you spin a compressor backwards will it create much of a vaccum at the outlet? I wouldn't think so from the design of a compressor wheel. . .
