before anything, yeah I know scrapers arent in the oil pan lol. anyone have a guide for fitting one? I was going to get one from this guy but he seems to be out of business http://www.crank-scrapers.com/VW.html Ive seen a lot of discussion on trays and baffling on the other engines, but none for the vr6. are they just so similar that its not worth designing a specific one for the VR? do those diesel windage trays fit the 12v? any other source? im going to start fabbing my bafles this week using the 1.75" doors from these guys; http://www.improvedracing.com/baffles/trap-doors-for-oil-pans-and-fuel-cells-pack-p-38.html seems pretty straight forward but I really don't wanna muck it up and restrict too much oil from the pickup.
the mk5 r32 has some baffling in the sump also a bit shallower at the front think it has a small plastic windage tray as well see the link below http://www.vr6oc.com/forum/topic/18007-the-32-sump-on-a-vr6-thread/
I saw that one. not a fan of the alloy pan and I would prefer to keep the stock oil pump until I can piece the dry sump together. for now, the steel pan will be easier to baffle/reinforce. the layout of the r32 pan is interesting (esp the windage tray), ill keep it in mind.
Have been looking at this myself, I think I would make one myself rather than the r32 pan, you've probably seen this but have a look at this thread, mike made his own, not on a vr6 but he gives a good how too I think... http://www.clubgti.com/showthread.php?271067-Guydo-s-2004-vw-cup-mk2 *edit* ignore his welding lol
I read through this thread; http://www.clubgti.com/showthread.php?198409-Baffling-a-steel-sump loads of good ideas and I have a rough idea on what im going to do. I think the only major confusion I have is how to baffle around the pump without separating the pump from the oil return. still would be nice to have an off the shelf windage or scraper option
At least it's not just mine then... She Spends all day on Facebook and moans when I look on the forum.... Women!! sorry for the high jack!
