someone recently posted ( last month or 2 ) about having crank scrapers in production, perhaps in the states though.
i think the primary benefit is the small increase in power by removing excess oil from the crank and getting it back to the pump, so it's not going to do anything magic, and there are other ways to keep the oil pump fed, but it will help hot engines a little.
an oil cooler would probably do more good in the long run.
The testing by Ed Peters on the 2.4 setup on the homepage was for a NA engine with the factory turbo oil cooler. That was done in an OEM level dyno cell where the environmental conditions are normalized.
Ed paid for the parts -- ask him. Very nice guy. By the way, he has tested aftermarket parts that raised the oil temperature rather than lowered it. He is not afraid to say that either. Ask him.
There are many good reasons that most of the OEMs in the world now include scraper tech in at least some of their stock engines.
