Dry sump kit

[Rusty]

Are you going to post a ballpark price then Aelred to stop us dreamers adding it to our Christmas list?

[Error404]

if you have to ask you can't afford it

[Rusty]

Too f'ing right can't afford much at the mo...

[terrybullwon]

I know the price and IMHO its very good..... With my next engine i will use one. Jeffery also has built his own kit which i cant wait to see the pictures of!

would surprise me if we start theing these pop up all over the place now, i was thinking about doing a dry sump for my final year project.
btw, having a closer look it seems that you have 2 scavenger pumps and only one delivery pump, isnt it normally the other way round??

Well if you really want to know you are looking with everything, pipes, fittings, blanking plates, tank, remote filter housing, cradle and spacers, etc. approx: £2500 plus the vodka and tonic.
I am making nothing out of it, I can assure you. Just some expenses for organising it.

That's a very good price if you compare that to the Dahlback kit which probably works out about £3800

Nice work, i really like the system. A few questions though I see the cradle but are you going to use a crank scrapper? Also what capacity will the system be?

[Wizard-of-OD]

Sorry but i cannot get to load the pic of the other side of the sump, here is one with the pump in situ, aslo the new wide pulleys to carry the 25mm belts

Not one to be a critic but your dry sump pan has a pretty large capacity.....

[aelred]

Regardless of the size or design of the sump there are 2 scavange pumps that remove oil from the said sump at a rate of 50 litres per minute (25 litres each) per 1000rpm, so the sump is not going to have any oil in it. As explained above somewhere the sump had to be made from an original one for costs restrains, if money was no objects a new cast sump could have been made and maybe it would have been more appealing to the eye, but for the purpose of efficiency and application it does not matter.

8 litres

No there is no crank scraper and the tank will be somewhere in the region of 7-8 litres.

It looks amazing Aelred. A credit to yourself for taking such time to get the set up made. If people are so bothered about the sump they can have there own made surely.

I would say it does...but good luck with your set up.
