I'm after a dry sump system for a busa... I have one available to me at £600 - Anyone better this?

Cheers

Price isn't always the best way on things like that- Id rather spend the extra and go for a tried and tested system that people have used on a busa in a car - there are too many horror storys about becs due to lack of lubrication.

Ok, in that case... Does anyone have experience in this department? Pace/SBD etc?

Thanks

Got a Nova fitted to mine with a pace tank. No problems so far.....







Got it from Big CC, (sump, not the tank), but knowing what I know now I probably get it from Extreme as the kit is more complete.

Thanks for the pics. Can I ask how long you have beeen running this system? Do you do a lot of trackdays?

That tank looks a bit on the large side... how much oil does your system take?

Also how is the clutch actuated on your car? Please don't say 'via the clutch pedal' You know what I mean

Thanks

I've got a Westfield/Pace system I'm not going to use that I'll let go for £500 including the tank. I may also have some left over connectors and hose I could throw in. This type keeps the original water pump.

I have the SBD dry sump,its their variation on the Nova one.

It uses less piping than the Nova/Extreme one.Mine has been perfect only done one trackday so far mind.

There are a lot of hidden costs to this though so be aware.

You will need a electric water pump and a different clutch slave cylinder(more costs)

Also required is a catch tank and lots of -12 hoses and fittings.

I reckon all in I spent 2k .

The oil tank I am using is Westfield supplied so my total capactiy is around the 7 litre mark(damned expensive to fill too)

All the research I did suggested that this was a better size to use then the smaller one. System holds about twice the oil of the standard Hayabusa sump.

Clutch is actuated using this:-



although other options are available!

Water pump is electric:-



This came with the kit, although the controller didnt:-



I used the Davis Craig digital whatsitmathingy, although they do make a cheaper one.

All in all its seems to be pretty reliable although I have only done just over 200 miles in the car since DVLA made it legal 4 weeks ago! No track days as yet.....
