))) performance sump for track days ?? (((

[aucorium]

hey guys

on our cars , do we need to baffle the sump for track days as i have heard some guys run bearings as the oil moves around in the engine ?

always good to try and prevent oil starvation. Haven't heard of anyone baffling the sump, and at least for autocross, I see decent oil pressure throughout the course. I'm not sure if that's how you tell if you need to change something, though?

Lots of us track and autocross our Yarii, and I've never heard of a bearing problem. Shouldn't be an issue. Just be sure you keep the oil level full. Even up to half a quart over full is not a bad idea for the track.

could become a problem with really stiff suspension and slicks... now that im running higher rates, it worries me a little more. with hoosiers, the risk is probably higher, but still, should be ok with an extra half quart.

yeah , i was thinking of putting in a little extra oil , but friend of mine said it aint a good idea. you recon even when i turbo the car it should be ok oil wise ?
