Pace Dry Sumps

Recommended Posts

My Pace dry sump pump took a beating earlier this year, when my race engine exploded. One of the scavenge stages was ruined and the other scavenge stage was only just ok. Late Feb I contacted Pace who said they'd be able to supply replacement scroll & rotors, in addition to belts, o-rings, screens etc. I sent them an email etc., but no reply. I've tried ringing several times but can't get past the front desk. It's like I don't exist. I can only assume they're going into liquidation as they refuse to return emails or calls. I gave up trying earlier this month.

 

A Peugeot motorsport friend suggested AT Power are very similar in their design. I contacted them and confirmed that they had 1.4" stages. They stopped short of confirming that they're identical, but were willing to sell me what ever I needed. Thus I purchased three 1.4" long scroll and rotors, which arrived on Friday. And guess what? They're identical.

 

This can only mean that both AT Power and Pace source their scroll & rotors from the same manufacturer. Given that many dry sump pumps are 1.1" or 1.4", with 1/2" drives (and 4mm keys), you'd have to wonder if they all come from the same manufacturer.

 

So the good news is that I can fully repair the Pace pump. I doubt I'd ever buy another. The support at AT Power is fantastic. They enthusiastically sent me drawings and generally bent over backwards for me. 

 

New AT scroll & rotor is on the left.
