Crashly Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Has anyone built a winged and baffled sump for their K series? Looking for pics/ideas on how best/not to do it Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 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??

Crashly Posted April 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) 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.

coln72 Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Watch project binky on YouTube. One of the recent episodes they modded a Celica sump. May give some ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davew7 Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 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.

altezzaclub Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) here's what you're looking at- 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.
