ECC Toyota Starlet Dry Sump System

We have started into fabricating our first Dry Sump System for the Toyota Starlet, below are a few pics sofar. I will try and update this as often as possible.

Below is a bit of info about the advantages of running a dry sump system :)

The ECC Toyota Starlet Dry Sump System is designed to prevent oil starvation, lower oil temperatures and add oil capacity all while freeing up horsepower. The failing point of most traditional “wet sump” oiling systems is the risk of oil starvation due to oil slosh during racing conditions. Under the sustained g-forces of racing oil can be pushed to one side of the pan causing vital engine components to be starved of oil. The ECC Dry Sump System helps prevent this by providing constant oil pressure throughout the engine despite driving conditions. This not only aids in motor longevity but also frees up horse power by removing oil from the pan where it can create drag on the crankshaft.

The ECC Dry Sump System eliminates the oil in the pan by using a remotely mounted tank, increasing oil capacity and providing better cooling. The improved scavenging of the Moroso oil pump increases vacuum created in the oil pan allowing for better piston ring seal and provides a constant supply of oil under any condition. There is a reason why most high end sports cars now offer a dry sump oiling system from the factory. While a dry sump system may be more costly than traditional wet sump oil systems it simply performs better!

Features


Remotely mounted oil tank for increased oil capacity
No more oil slosh leading to the oil starvation or aeration
Insures steady oil pressure under the harshest of racing conditions
Maximizes horsepower by removing oil from the pan which prevents windage
Adjustable oil pressure output
Improves oil scavenging
Increase pan vacuum leads to better piston ring sealing
True three stage pump
Improved oil and engine cooling due to the externally mounted tank
Eliminates the chance of oil pump failure by removing the stock pump
Allows for easy mounting of oil coolers and external filters
Better overall weight distribution due to remote mounting of oil reservoir

We are waiting for the lightweight pulleys to come so we can finish it off.

Wow some fantastic engineering going in to this! A testament to you guys!!
How would you feed the turbo within system? A direct feed and return to the oil tank? Surely would take a lot of heat/friction away from the engine giving you more ponies?

will the pump fit in the bay looks too big ,and with the turbo and piping having to be fitted ?might be wrong

Yes the pump should fit in ok, there may need to be a small alteration but we arent 100% certain at the moment. We are also in the process of looking about getting our own billet 4E and 5E cranks made along with our own turbo kits which will work with this dry sump system. :)

I like the sound of that, billet cranks yum yes please :) Will be keeping an eye on this. Cracking work lads @ ECC, can't wait to see more.

There wont be any pricing released until the full kit is fabricated.

We are going to be producing our own products in the coming months.
Custom valve train
Billet cranks
Custom twin plate clutch's
Electronic power steering conversions
Turbo kits
Dry sump system
And lots more :) Watch this space.

hi
are you planing to do billet main cups ?
i need them for the power im looking
and also im interested in the valve train the bigger they are the better for me

cheers
