Been thinking about this but dont actually know anything about it.

Sitting an engine in the engine bay what effect would it have by having the engine sat at a different angle?

Whats the best way of changing the angle? Custom mounts? Ect

 

Biggest thing to worry about is the oil ways not workign properly as returns anymore or the oil pickup not picking oil up correctly.

 

just chassis mount it and you can get what angle you want,but as chip says be carefull of oil starvashion and also your pinion angle

 

cheers for that chaps,but what benefits does it have sitting the engine at a different angle? as i have seen that the jamsport purple escorts engine sits at quite a large angle

 

at a guess i think this would only really apply to a dry sumped race engine and the only thing i can think of is to drain the oil to the front/rear of the sump pan to allow you to get the pick up pipe from one place , also i think the main reason for tilting the engine is for better weigh over the front wheels or because of room inside an engine bay

cheers paul

 

i'm going to have to tip the vtec in my clio slightly just to get it to physically fit by the looks of it, but will keep it to a minimum

 

Aahhh now youve said that paul somethings just clicked how are you anyway matey? All good i hope and hows the car an engine coming along?

 

Oh right do you think you will need to alter the oil pick up then chip? Or will the have to be looked at once the engines actually in place mate?

 

the main advantage of sitting the engine at an angle is to lower the centre of gravity to improve handling

 

Wont know till i know how much I have to tip it by.
