We are excited to say that we have two new dry sump systems available. The first is designed for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. The second is a “generic”, but more extreme race kit.
The Insight Motorsports engineering team has been busy developing a range of high end products for the performance Evo market. Over the past 18 months we have been actively working on a dry sump system which we feel will be the most complete and highest quality system on the market. Our system incorporates a CNC billet plate which takes the place of the original oil pump and includes upgraded oil passages for improved flow.
The test version of our system saw action at Superlap 2009 at Oran Park the Tilton Interiors/InsightMotorsports Evo 9 RS, with blistering results. Since then, we have made many improvements and the kits have undergone rigorous in-house testing.
For starters, the new kit has engineering to bypass the original oil pump drive and strengthened pulley support for the timing belt idler.
Furthermore, the Peterson 3 stage pump has been upgraded to a new R4 4 stage pump. This will be used by a second Tilton Interiors/Insight Motorsports Evo 9, which has yet to race. Many of you would have seen the first TI/IM white Evo 9, which has been quite successful, with wins under its belt at Oran Park and Eastern Creek. The second TI/IM silver Evo 9 is a step up again. We are going to need some nicknames for these two. At the moment, it is just New Evo and Old Evo, which is a bit harsh towards Old Evo considering that she is the same model as New Evo.
If a 4 stage pump is not enough, we can offer a 6 stage pump which will be used as a part of an all out race kit. Scott Kuhner will be fitting this to his famous Datsun Stanza. Scott already has a sub 9 second pass under his belt at the helm of the Stanza and will hopefully be returning to Sydney International Dragway very soon. Scott has promised me some pictures of the build of his Stanza. I will get them up here very soon.
The kit includes:
- Dry sump pump, screw type – 4 stage Peterson R4 for Evo or 6 stage for race kit
- Front oil pump bypass plate and balance shaft elimination – CNC machined billet aluminium
- Sump pan with internal pan scavenge cross over – CNC machined billet aluminium
- Windage tray
- ATI race harmonic balancer and spline drive - same as original design
- Replacement oil pump idler and bearing assembly.
- All associated fittings and oil filter fitting and adapters.
