yeah but it's just the pump i need, or pumps! i'm just looking for one just now but will need another one or two as i get nearer to completion on other projects. I'm after a two stage pump and the reason i'm not after a complete kit is that i will be fabricating the sump etc myself for a custom installation.

neaky2:A lot of the lotus track cars use the Accusump device, that stops oil starvation at high G's.

if you remove the oil from the sump as quickly as poss and have a scraper and windage tray fitted the crank doesn't have to travel through the oil mist, i expect the gain back at least 20hp with the engine spec i'm using. i already have an accusump for my road/track car and it works great, just doesn't help with the power to weight ratio.

Yep, you're spot on about it solving starvation and if my pulsar was just going to be a road car never to see a track or the 'ring then an accusump is perfect and i'm really happy with the one on my sunny. I'm still tempted to use an accusump on the pulsar alongside the dry sump as the one big advantage over a dry sump is being able to pre-oil the engine before start up.
