duratec dry sump kit

Hi guys

I'm just in the process of fitting a duratec into my westfield sprint car and have been looking at various dry sump kits
in the running are
raceline at about 900 quid
dunnell at 1300 quid (fully specked to my engine mounts)
shawspeed titan kit 800-900 depending on 2 or 3 stage pump

i know the dunnell kit is very good as is the raceline

but don't know anything about the titan
anyone got any views on the titan good or bad?

thanks in advance
stew.

You should contact Flak Monkey, he makes them too

Sorry he doesn't do dry sumps just standard lowered ones - should learn to read!!

i have a titan kit for my duratec kit, all fits very well and leaves nothing hanging under the chassis line. i have not run it yet but i cant see there beign any issues, just bear in mind the pump is external and sits down on the inlet side of the engine.

Before shelling out your hard earned take a look at the raceline dry sump which now has an integral scavenge pump. Which really cuts down on space requirements

Don't know anything about the actual part but Raceline have been the best manufacturer to me in my build. Always willing to help and today they even offered to make an adjustment for free on my water rail due to a cock up on my side..... Definitely worth paying more money for their service..

I have bought a Titan 3 stage kit and it all seems very good quality. I was warned away from the raceline kit by a very knowledgeable engine builder. For a start its only 2 stage and apparently the pump is a bit on the small side and struggles to keep the sump empty. Thats just what i'm told. The titan kit has mounting points at the front if required too.
