Sumps

Featured Replies

Has anyone built a winged and baffled sump for their K series?

Looking for pics/ideas on how best/not to do it

Cheers,

Racing car?? Are you allowed to dry sump it? A Billzilla el cheapo dry sump using the 4K oil pump for pressure, fed directly from the reservoir and a scavenge pump added to suck it all out again??

Its for a road car, that will get the occasional hillclimb.

At the moment thet sump hangs down 20mm below the bottom chassis rail of my car (clubman sports car), so I need to shorten it a smidge, adding the wings to it will allow for the loss of capacity to be recovered.

I have read up on Bills dry sump setup, and I may do it on day, but fo rthe time being a winged and baffled saetup will suffice.

Watch project binky on YouTube. One of the recent episodes they modded a Celica sump. May give some ideas.

 A sump that is  20mm below the frame rail on a clubman should not be to prone to damage if you have about 75mm ground clearance to the sump. Just add a sump bash plate.  This one is attached with three 6mm riv-nuts to the front cross tube.  No wings,  just gates with a standard sump.  Davew7

You could get it quite a bit higher if you made a new pump base and pickup, with wings as you say, or a flat bottom rearwards and aim the pickup to the back where the oil collects as you accelerate.
