Hello all,

Looking to eventually build a track/fast road car in my fiesta turbo...

One question i have is about oil surge and starvation issues on track, has anyone had this issue before..? I know that a baffled sump would help prevent this but wondered if anyone has had one made or know where i could get one from...?

Cheers

Std sump works well

There is a few track goers running a std one with no problems.

I have a baffled and gated one by xworks

 

the standard sump on any cvh is dreadful
only any use for left hand corners hit a long right hander and it's bye bye crank shaft turbo etc

 

Told me lol


Guess the people running them are on borrowed time then

 

Thats what i think cause my last engine to fail...

Do you know anyone that does a baffled sump for the CVH?

Cheers

Out of interest how much did that cost you mate?

 

Looks fine - maybe have someone MIG weld it for extra insurance.

 

Cost me Ł150 mate

 

That's not bad really will keep that in mind wen I start rebuilding mine

 

Thats what im in the process of now...

 

I think i had problems with my zvh sump when on track at ford fair last year, my car started smoking its absolute cock off when i was tanking it round track thought id fucked my turbo, but when i set off home it cleared and was fine never had a problem since??

 

Where is your oil return? Could have surged back up and kept the oil in the turbo for too long and bypassed a seal briefly with the pressure build up? Stab in the dark entirely!!
