Making a baffled sump.

Got mine from here

 

hhmmm its not bad, but its still a bit more than the 45 i was going to spend on a new metal sump and baffles

 

is there a benifit to doing this on road cars or is this specifically for track cars

 

I used my 16v engine road/track from 2002-2006 without a baffled sump, only problem I had was at Mallory running slicks the big ends gave an almighty death rattle going through Gerrads (long fast corner, constant radius)

Had a Schrick sump on the 16v that lasted 2 weeks, proper bit of kit - Sambo bought it off me I think? Got a baffled steel sump on the VR6 from C2 motorsports, laser cut steel baffles, with one to reduce oil surge going up into the crankcase under hard braking.

 

That is a nasty corner at Mallory.

 

Ask Larry (16blue)

This is a rough copy of the schrick baffle design, its been in my shed for a while so will get cleaned up and fitted to swerve's Monza blue track car in the next few weeks. Cardboard templates were made from my schrick sump.

 

^ ^ ^ is that painted inside?

 

It was given a light coat to protect the metal while in the shed, it will be stripped before fitting

 

oohh im liking that, could be worth a bash at making at work..

 

just checking, wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you .

 

eager for the template too....

 

i can get them photocopied for anyone who wants then.

 

yes please!!

 

if there was some way you could put them up in scale that would be amazing for me aswell

 

I'll dig them out over the weekend and photocopy them next week.

 

Cheers Steve, much appreciated! should be better than just the normal set up of 2 plates

 

Me me me too...

Ahem... composes ones self... May I have a copy of the templates too?

 

Templates copied, send me a pm if you want a set
