New Dry Sump for "New Evo"

We have a new dry sump system for "New Evo", the Tilton Interiors/Insight Motorsports Evo IX RS, which will make its motorsports' début at the World Time Attack Challlenge at Eastern Creek, Friday 6 August and Saturday 7 August.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Insight Motorsports Dry Sump Systems, we developed our original dry sump system and tested it on the racetrack, bolted into the original Tiliton Interiors/Insight Motorsports Lancer Evolution IX RS, which we now affectionately call "Old Evo".

To be fair, Old Evo and New Evo are the same age and the exact same model apart from the exterior of the former being white and the latter being silver. New Evo is just more extreme. We have taken lessons learned in the heat of battle and engineered them into our new designs.

Take for example, the dry sump pictured fitted to New Evo:


The kit includes:
  • Timing cover with internal pump elimination and braced sprocket system
  • Billet sump assembly with stainless steel cap screws
  • Peterson R4 high volume 4 stage dry sump pump
  • ATI balancer with spline drive assembly
  • Goodrich G-Line Kevlar line from sump to pump
  • Drive belt and 50% drive sprocket

In 16 days, the Tilton Interiors/Insight Motorsports Evo 9 RS will be competing in the Pro Class of the 2011 World Time Attack Challenge, running the Insight Motorsports dry sump system. We are proud to be able to supply you with race proven technology. The complete kit is available for $7950+GST.

Systems for non-Evo applications are available on request. For example, Scott Kuhner has fitted the dry sump, with a Peterson 6 Stage R4 Drag Dry Sump Pump, to his legendary Stanza. Already famous for a best of 9.4 seconds at WSID, the Stanza will hopefully be making her comeback soon, although she was still semi naked last time I photographed her, with her 4G63 (i.e. Evo engine) and bird eating turbocharger proudly visible.
