Alternative to dry sump for Hayabusa engine?

Anyone knows more about this product? Is it a solid option to a dry sump?

Have a look at Rilltech racing. Their sump system is good for 3g according to their info. http://www.rilltechracing.com/products/





If it can't be fixed with a hammer then its probably an electrical problem.

The sump looks great but where does all the oil go? You would not want to over fill into the engine too much

Not to diss the product with no personal experience but IMHO "little or no drop in oil pressure during takeoffs" sounds a world apart from "maintains full oil pressure during sustained high G applications" ?

Holeshot Racing swinging pick up pipe?

Holeshot

I thought Andy Bates made one too, but I couldn't see it on his site.

That reads like its intended for drag racing and not cornering to me.

Personally I wouldn't recommend swinging pick ups either, if they could turn 360* then yes maybe but they don't and could under some circumstances be held by cornering forces against the swing stop rather than swinging towards the oil, again these where principally designed for drag racing, accelerate in a straight line swing back, brake swing forward.

You have to be careful about the orientation of the engine. Swinging pickups are fine if the engine is mounted in the same way as a motorcycle. However when you turn the engine sideways, the swinging pickup is no longer facing north/south and here lies the problem. Dry sumping an engine does not matter which way the engine faces as it will always guarantee oil feed to the pump. It would be worthwhile contacting Rilltech and asking about their sump system and if they have experience of engine mounted sideways.

Duncan Cowper ran one, I seem to remember, in his Holeshot Turbo Dax Rush. He ragged the fcuk out of that!

When I building a 'busa motor I had a Powertec dry sump pan / Nova pump. The SBD looks the best option at the moment though.

I'd avoid the Westfield dry sump - you see these come up for sale second hand often. The pump is belt driven (not direct drive replacing the water pump) and the brackets fails. Its worth regular checks of the bracket.

Sbd system is very good. Ran one on the radical with supersoft sprint tyres and had no issues with oil pressure at all! Quality kit

I'm 99% sure that up to the point Duncan started using a Geoff Page engine, he ran his engines with a stock Hayabusa sump, and he had no issues. I've got a stock 'Busa sump and had no problems - although I also have an Accusump as a back up
