Pace have today finally delivered my dry sump kit, it consists of a 3 stage pump (2 scavenge & 1 pressure) and a very nicely machined billet sump. They have also supplied a dry sump tank. The output from the pressure stage feeds the engine through it's existing oil pick up tube in the sump, so the number of external connections are kept to a minimum. I'll post some more details when I've had a chance to look at it in detail, and of course I'll post a full step by step process of actually fitting it. But for now here are some pictures and it is a shiny shiny thing of beauty :-)
This is the pump, the drive shaft on the left connects with the existing oil pump drive inside the block. The whole assembly is a bolt on replacement for the the standard oil and water pumps, a result of which is the need to fit and electric water pump.
Also the billet sump is much much narrower than the existing sump on the ZX12R so I'm currently wondering if the engine can be mounted lower in the chassis.
