Info on Suzuki GSXR1000 K8 sump options

Unread post by Pumawestie »

Hi,

What is the best wet sump option for the above? Is a JEBs sump one of the better ones? I have tried to find pictures of one to make a judgement but cant find anything. Does anyone have any pictures of a JEBS one please?

If a wet sump is marginal, what dry sump options are there other than West Performance? I saw a mention of a guy called Iain Drowne possibly providing something. Anyone got any contact details please?

Many thanks

John

Ian is the guy most of the F1 teams use, I know they all swear by his work.

I've contacted him on FB (for some reason I don't have his phone number, I thought I did) and am sure he'll get back to you.

Hi
Always used wet sump on our K6/7 with no problems at all, there must be a few around try Ian Guy, Andy Peach.
If you lend some one £20 and never see that person again it was probably worth it

Thanks guys. Do you generally have to overfill wet sumps to ensure no starvation?

Out of the wet sump varieties out there how good is a JEBS sump by comparison

Does anyone other than West Performance do dry sump kits for these engines?

Thanks
