Big turbo means big HP and big G forces
When I turbo my AP1 do I need to use a baffled oil pan to keep the oil pump happy?

like the Toda Racing one

 

Do you track your car? A baffled oil pan helps keep the oil pump fed during sustained high G cornering when a stock oil pan would not. Unless you're running some seriously incredible horsepower and you drag race, I can't think you'd really benefit from one because you are only accelerating for a couple seconds at a time...

I could be wrong...turbo guys?

 

BTW, Science of Speed modifies our stock pans for like $150...

 

I just recently read somewhere that a guy blew his motor up due to oil starvation because a baffle from his oil pan broke off and blocked the pickup. It was in the UTH forum and I don't remember if he mentioned the manufacturer or not.

 

An oil pressure gauge is your friend.

Not baffled, though I might do it.

 

What i am interested is that some guys did DIY buffle on the Oil pan so i would be grateful if they shared the template for the baffle..I have one Oil pan thats sitting in my garrage and i was thinking of doing this..

You sure about that? I beg to differ. It would go some thing like this:

Big turbo means big hp

OR

Bigger ( and stickier) tires means big G forces.

BTW, Are you in Israel?

 

Care to show us a link?
All I could find was the TCDesign pan for $195 + $200 refundable cored charge:

^ I think that is what he was talking about, but he got the price wrong. Notice the core charge, which means they need a core to fabricate for the next customer.

 

Ah yes...that's the one. Sorry, thought it was $150. I stand corrected.
