Scavenge
pump & clutch
slave cylinder plate |
This oil
sump converts your ZX-14 engine to a dry sump design, utilizing
the existing oil pump as a pressure pump only. A two stage scavenge
pump is mounted to the stock water pump drive pad and oil is
now pumped
from the engine and stored in an external tank (not supplied)
rather than in the oil pan itself. This requires the use of an
electric water pump on a liquid cooled engine. The advantage
of this system is primarily oil control to the pump pickup as
well as increased vacuum in the engine and reduced oil “windage”.Four
output ports offer complete flexibility. The two center ports
are ideal for drag race straight line applications and the left
and right ports are used for circle track applications. Since
the stock pressure pump now receives its supply of oil directly
from
the
tank it
is not
subject
to
un-porting
due
to
low levels or “g” loads. This ensures an uninterrupted
flow of oil to the engine and virtually eliminates the possibility
of bearing failure due to oil starvation.
Depending on the size of the tank used, oil capacity is increased as well. The
oil is less subject to aeration and the additional capacity lowers oil temperature.
