Q: Why would someone need a racing oil pan??
A: During high
accelerations oils sloshes and moves around the pan. Than sometimes causes the
oil pickup tube to be partially exposed. When that happens, the tube will be
sucking air from the oil pan and not oil. A racing oil pan helps ensure the
oil pickup is always submerged under oil
Q: How much oil is left in the oil pan
during high-G turns?
A: Not much at all. In the right hand
turns most of the oil moves to the right side of the engine where it is being
whipped by the crank. The stock oil pan contains just 8 oz (!) at the bottom
of the pan near the oil pickup. The pickup is partially exposed and is sucking
air. gf
This is what the engine feels during a near-1G right hand turn. The OEM oil pan retains only 8 oz of oil (0.25 quarts):
<--- only 0.25 quarts.
The Supercar Engineering Racing Oil Pan contains a baffle with a one-way
trap door, which keeps most of the oil near the oil pickup. Additionally, the
large kick-out area provides an extra 1.25 quarts of oil as a reserve for
longer turns. This combination increases the amount of oil near the oil pickup
to a healthy 1.9 quarts! The oil pickup is fully submerged.
This is the new Supercar Engineering racing oil pan that retains 1.9 quarts:
<--- now 1.90 quarts!!!
