Mk Indy, swapping zetec for s2000

Should be back on the scene very soon.... Does the s2000 need to be dry sumped? I'm not concerned about the wiring. Anyone currently installing one? Any tips appreciated.

No doesn't need to be dry sumped, it only gains about an inch from the bottom of gearbox anyway.
I've already installed one so any questions fire away.

Thanks for that, Are you running the s2000 gearbox and diff with cut and jointed shafts? I'll have plenty of questions, happy to be back on the scene.

I fitted the 6speed s2000 box,rear diff and modified cut shafts on my old mnr. Standard sump too and it's now done about 3 years as a track car in the south of France with just oil changes and pads! Bullet proof but a touch on the heavy side

I'm running the gearbox but using a sierra rear diff with a custom prop shaft.

Does the S2000 engine/box run in the opposite direction, so you will need to run the s2000 diff also?

No it does not. It was the b-series motors that turned the other way.

What sensors etc did you remove from the engine, I'm going to be running standard inlet with emerald ecu.
