got to be worth fitting dave for track use,

but im sure theres a few folks on here who could make you something similar flor less than than that ,

seems a little excessive ,

mate of ours got one , Kirky. got one of Burton and had to send it back as he couldnt get it to fit correctly.
But in principle yes good idea,, if it fits ,, just make sure they will have a returns policy

just seems odd only having the single gate on it...

i take it you can still use the dipstick as normall with these?

righthooker

have a look on the burton web site , sure theres was double gated

JTECH James

Yours is a 4WD sump I guess? I am just fitting a Burton baffle to my 2WD Sapph sump. No need for big winged sump I think but the baffle is important.

Last season my oil pressure warning light came on a few times under braking at the end of the straight at Brands and at the long right hand corner at Snetterton. This is why I'm fitting one.

Mine is the Burton one - I hope it fits OK.

That looks exactley the same or is a copy of the Mountune GRP N baffle (i have the mountune one). IF you look close you will see that one on ebay DOES have 2 gates on it, the one at the top of the picture is open, and there is one directly underneath which is closed.


I'd say yes it is worth getting.

wes

What I meant to say was it is worth getting the Mountune one, the one on ebay is definitely a copy and they have forgot to add something to it which would make it useless if it got stuck...

pretty sure the mountune one is well better than that.

i will sort a pic of mine and you will see the difference.

as for having a big wing sump...the more oil in there the better.

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

as you can see, its nothing like the one on ebay.








imo, thats the one to have.

wes

Thats not the GRP N one that Mountune sell, thats a GRP A one, and it would cost more than £188 for the GRP N item, if you could get one from them.

Wes,

but it will do the job right, might aswell spend a bit more.

i'm sure someone does them as iirc Kelv bought one.

In answer the original question that this thread was about. Yes I would fit one if I was you Jtech. I run one with my 2wd setup on the Westy which probably generates more chance of oil surge and its been fine.

I can get them made for 2WD and 4WD fitments if you want one.

The guy above who had problems fitting. I bet your sump has been thumped on the ground at some point meaning that the baffle would not bolt down properly? The sump will probably look fine but the bottom is probably sitting up a mm or 2.

James,

the hassle you have had with your car etc....money spent...get a proper one.

Basky

so do you still need the baffle if your running a big wing sump

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

still got to stop the oil from surging.

especially a car using slicks as you can corner a lot faster etc...

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

some people get away with not having it,not having a larger capacity sump etc...but while at the Ring, my engine started to rattle, thats why i now have got the big wing sump and the baffle.

up to you at the end of the day.

Basky

on the extended part of the sump are there holes, or is it cut completely out to

is the 4wd more prone to surge than the 2wd one

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

you mean if its a proper one lol.

i will see if i have pics lol.

Basky

nice one dave

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

not got any with the baffle out.

no problem having the holes in the side imo, it controls the surge butthe main thing is to keep the pick up pipe full of oil, hence the baffle i have and not the one first mentioned.

i learned the hard way and the expensive way.

Ginge !

anyone make these for imprezas pmsl

JTECH James

iTrader: (13)

i deffo want one, and il get it now cos the sumps off,

dave can you use the dipstick as normal on yours? it doesnt hold a gate open or anything?


where can i get one?

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

not had any problems with the dipstick on mine.

not too sure where from, but i think it was Kelv that ordered one, not sure where from though.

JTECH James

iTrader: (13)

ok mate...

I bought a 2wd 1 from burton for mine. It was a proper pile of wank!! badly made, rusty and still had loose bits of metal in it and hanging off it. When i phoned up to complain about poor workmanship etc he said "well your not going to see it and it will be covered in oil". Needless to say i sent it straight back and made my own.

That Burtons item is not the best design at all, and is very basic.
