Can I pair up the front and rear oil returns (Y fitting) then route directly to a T at one of the scavenge sections? And if so, can I get away with -6 or will I need -8 or even larger? -6 to the Y, -8 to the scavenge? So basically, front returns will be returned to front scavenge section and rear returns to rear section or possibly middle scavenge section. I'm hoping that with powered scavenge I can get away with smaller return lines. But hope isn't a plan. Thanks. S/F....Ken M Yes you can... I ran -8 with just gravity (4 lines) so I would do as you plan but keep the -8.... what size is the suction port at the pump... if its a -10 I would run the 2 lines teed -8 to a -10 to the pump
