Default Dry Sump Kits

I'm looking for a F20C dry sump kit and so far the only two I can find are the one made by Toda (worth its weight in gold according to their website) and this one: http://www.drysump.com/honda.htm

Are there any others out there? Also, what is the shallowest pan available for a dry sump? The one from drysump.com is 2.9" in total height.

Thanks in advance,
-Zach

I believe Spoon has had one in the works for some time. Not sure if it has made it to production yet.

Why do you need a dry sump kit? Even those of us that track our cars have not had a problem until you start running wide slicks on long turns. Even then, an Accusump can go a long way towards maintaining oil pressure under prolonged cornering loads.

I'm building a F20C powered Lotus 7 kit car. The dry sump is more for clearance issues than anything else, but seeing as these routinely pull over 1g in corners, it should help there as well.

Those prices are absurd.

FYI, pictures of my DIY dry sump in a clubman.

BTW, clubmans can pull 2G on slick without too much trouble.

Also, Pace Products have a good setup for the K20A. Not sure how different the bolt pattern is between the motors.

Chris.

I have looked at your website in great detail! I think i will be going with the drysump.com kit. Their oil pan is 2.9" tall from the deck. If you don't mind me asking, how tall is yours and how much did it cost to DIY? I'm picking up my project next weekend and I'm using a coveland chassis. I'd love to talk to you more about fitting the f20c into a lotus 7 as you seem to be one of the few who's actually accomplished it.

Yeah, you might look around on the UK forum, too. I believe I recall seeing a couple of guys from there mention that they're working on similar projects.
