Will be of interest to many, take particular note of scottmc's post, approx 5th from end, > http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=17016&page=202
This does dismiss the increased cooling reserve created with more liquid though, so the Schrick, with its external fins, is trying to achieve that, even if the pickup pipe is no deeper in the sump. The Oettinger 2-piece sumps (rare as you like) had a spacer between the oil pump and the pump itself, which lowered the pickup point (assume Oettinger pump/VW modified).
Ya, and the same oil quantity, it may mean lowering the pickup mind you. Ive a few more links ill did out, if I dont put them here Ill put them In Chris's thread as they apply to baffling too.
i have a twin Oil Cooler set up so i have 6 litre Oil Capacity due to the extra pipework and 12 row cooler.
Well what I mean is, dont fill to full mark on dipstick, maybe get a longer one if sump is deeper and lower pickup, every piece ive read on this stresses that keeping oil at a lower level or farther from crank is key and the sole purpose of a deeper sump.
So all it lacks is a deeper pickup. Without that, it's useless as far as moving the oil downwards is concerned.
Yes, and of course a longer dipstick, or shorten the dip stick tube. I found the links Chris, will I put them here or in your baffle thread?
In no particular order> http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=95899 Take note of pats post half way down,http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=107164 ''To stop oil surging out of the pan (especially in a longitudinal direction) under G force, I also use flat plates, parallel to the ground, welded to and sealed to the pan, just above running oil level. This stops the oil running to the ends of the sump and coming up around the gaps between the end of the main scraper/tray and the sump.'' Thats all for now, I have more but I need to find them first.
Im actually starting to think that maybe totally relocate pickup and refab sump shape altogether would be a good idea for the serious racer. Or as you pointed out Chris and as Pat said too, weld a ''u'' shape over pickup with enough clearance obviously to fit sump pan(or maybe fit to pickup for tighter control)parallel to ground to stop oil climb under hard braking. Ill do up a drawing or two after a while to show what could be done.
cheers prof, just added that to my "usefull college links" folder in my favorites that shell of yours is coming on a treat too: scraped sound deadening, fitted cage, windy windows, ABF rebuilt, lightened fly and vr6 clutch, polly bushed and new brakes at front just re-bushing/building the beam and rear brakes this weekend. drop me a pm with your email or face book () if you want to see a few pics!
