Dry sump...new installation
Hi all.
im going to be installing a dry sump kit on my car, after some advice...
-what is the thread size on the tank for all outlets (breather, return, flow)(it’s a genuine radical tank FYI, got it off a few owner over here in sunny England)?
-the oiler cooler goes on the return pipe?
-anyone have any pics of their setup so I can see where the breather runs too, and generally how it’s piped (locations and directions) as it would be nice to follow the same routes as radical did?
thanks one and all!
Hi Sam, here are a couple of parts diagrams that should be helpful. The first one is for Gen 1 cars (Supersport and Tracksport), and the second one is for Gen 2 cars (RS)

@charleyhradicalsportscarregistry-com every time I post something on here you are always there to help, legend! Thanks, that helps a lot!
@charleyhradicalsportscarregistry-com where do you get these drawings from as they are super handy?!? I need a drawing for the cooling system of the GDU as my car doesn’t have it and want to install it. So far I’ve got the pump...but it’s everything else I need and where it all goes.
Hi Sam (@m22ble), Here is an image of the GDU cooling system. I have file with a lot of these images but unfortunately it isn't in a format that can easily be published. But if you need any images let me know and I will see if I have one.

thanks charlie, your a star! Random question, does anyone know the dimensions of the GDU oil cooler? I’d like to order one but at the same time avoid the Radical TAX
I can measure it tomorrow. I know someone that is selling one. He may have the lines also. It is located in the US, so shipping cost may be in issue.

@charleyhradicalsportscarregistry-com do you have a diagram for the RSX dry sump system? Also, does the oil temperature sensor require a washer?
@gabriel, I believe the drysump system in the RSX is the same as in the RS (Gen 2 cars). If anyone know of differences between the RS and the RSX dry sump systems please speak up. Unfortunately Radical never made parts manuals for the RXC.
@charleyhradicalsportscarregistry-com thanks, it looks the same but I wanted to be sure.
Do you know if the oil temp sensor on the dry sump tank needs a washer, and if so what size?
