Sump modifications to stop oil starvation
After re-reading Rob Virgo's sump tale it got me thinking. Coz I've pretty much got the handling sorted on my car and it tends to stick like the proverbial to a blanket, what are the chances of suffering from oil starvation when on track????. My sump, like the engine is bog standard.

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
You want one like Porkies:
I think this was done by JapSpeed Racing, but i think they have gone bust now.
Anyone know where i could get something like this done?

Nice one Wes, I would have thought any good ally welder could knock one up but |I suppose its have the dimensions and details of any other internal mods. I would have thought the Zoo, Mike R or Martin H would be able to get/make something like this.
I wonder if Porkie has any more piccies of this, plus internal shots?

big wing sumps are defo a worth while investment for track days and serious road abuse
gated and baffled are - there was a picture of a gated/baffled 2wd big wing sump on ere a few months since, looked absoltely fantastic, and highly expensive

Paul,
I've got the same one as in Matt's pic for my car.
Bearing in mind you're going to be doing a few trackdays, it's a very worthy investment - especially as your car reportedly handles as well as it does.
Plus, you know you'll have a set of slicks on there soon enough

I went down the same path, so before you know it, they'll be bucket seats in the front

Good idea Paul, but you deffo need the baffle and the big wing. The propper gated baffle can be got from Mountune and they are just over £100 i think when I got mine. Unfortunatly we don't do ally welding at the moment at our place and I have just sold my mountune sump to Kev Catt.

No I am not going dry sump. But the 7.5" Ford Motorsport front diff I am using requires that you also use the super bling Ford Motorsport Magnesium sump that goes with it. The Mag sump comes all big winged and baffled.
