Just to join in the current "hot" topics

 

fookin quality id say a pug tho

 

as long as there aint any left handers in the track then a pug..


actually evo

 

Pug for track abuse

 

lol. you never went round a big left hander in yours then tiff

oil surge tastic

 

Not with the baffled sump it wasn't

PS

I do believe Bedford has 1 or 2 left handers x2

 

baffled sumps dont cure it 100%
poor drainage from the head is what causes it in mi16

(apparently so! oil gets pumped up there and cant drain back down
around long fast left handers ive been reading up as i want mi16 in mine,, but its really offputting so many people with baffled sumps killing engines still!! Ask SiB!! )

 

Either way the answer to your issue is a big

NEGATORY GHOST RIDER

 

Didnt have that problem with a proper baffled sump

 

lol. i wish any sort of baffled sump was the cure!
i'd have an mi16 tomorrow then! lol

 

Uprated oil pump spring aswell

Never lost ANY oil pressure on ANY track ....was ALWAYS running slicks aswell

You should see how many people on 205gtidrivers kill Mi-16 engines running proper Peugeot Sport sump baffles on road tyres. Some say they even get oil surge on the road let alone on track

Maybe you wern't driving fast enough Just kidding

 

Indeed... with the crew of mechanics on hand to check in between sessions if it had we'd have noticed...

Gotta say though.. I am aware they do have issues but the things to combat the issue are as follow.

Baffled sump
Uprated oil pump
Oil cooler.

Thats what was done to Marks car and never in the 5 or 6 track days we did was there a problem

Going through craner at 110mph ( which incidently is a left hander ) is perfectly fast enough in my book.. in a small car

The oil pump spring won't make any difference if it is sucking up air

 

I guess having one of the leading Pug UK rally teams mechanic coming to your track days and maintaining the car does help

 

But the baffled sump and oil cooler prevent it sucking up air.

Problem arises with crap installs at the wrong angle- according to Yoda.. when i was looking for one before he said it was imperitive you got the correct angle or THEY'RE PRONE TO SURGE and fucked engines

 

 

Peugeot peds to the rescue

 

BINGO

Just what AB Motorsport said aswell......and they know a thing or two aswell

True the angle might make a difference, although these days most you see are done properly now exhaust manifolds are available off the shelf

I don't think the oil cooler will help either as they run after the oil pump in the scheme of oil flow. Not trying to argue here just saying Plus 1.9 GTis have a proper Mocal style air to oil cooler as standard

 

Oh well....not bothered as mine NEVER EVER surged in all the Trackdays it did

Infact.....it was 100% faultless

 

its not an argument Phill its a discussion..

Saying they all do it is a bit of a tongue in cheek comment as I have first hand experience of one that doesn't... thats all

BUT having said that..

It was a properly built and modified engine with all the correct bits and bobs added to it to make it safe.. and to say it had NO expense spared is an understatement..

I also doubt many people can say they have such an amazing back up as Mark did in the sense one of his best mates is one of AB's mechanics.. and me of course

I SOUND LIKE SUCH A JUMPED UP TWAT!!!!

 

The more the merrier

 

Recently did an MLR track day at Cadwell park, in my little pug 1.9 8v. Oil surge was such a problem that I left white smoke from my exhaust on serious corners, that I decided to drived back home after only 30mins of putting a challenging sheen over the track for the Jap boys to catch me.
