drysump is out of the question for me, its a "road-legal" car this.Richard wrote:Personally i would not use any restrictions on the oil return from the turbo.
More pressure in the oil return = more risk of oil leaking past the turbo shaft seal.
You could just try to circulate oil that is already in the oil pan, but i don't think it's worth the trouble & just results in more parts that could potentially fail.
you could also just add additional cooling fins to your oil pan..
And better yet, get an increased capacity pan with baffles suited for drifting/rwd mounting (or go dry sump)
Well a couple of things to think about here:KHRacing wrote:drysump is out of the question for me, its a "road-legal" car this.Richard wrote:Personally i would not use any restrictions on the oil return from the turbo.

most probably i will mount the oilcooler "high" so the returnline freeflow´s back to the sump via a big" pipe.
Stock oilpan is perfectly suited for drifting i think, because its a rallycar, made to go in "any" direction, but a bigger sump, might just find its place
there soon, but after everything is done/started/tested.
please forgive me if i have several word misspellt/wrong, but i think you understand me anyways
Oilpickup has been measured & supposedly will work in the stock location !Richard wrote:

-when drifting you have a high load on the engine with oil being pushed in a different direction then normally during hard acceleration
-even evos can have issues with oil starvation on certain corners on the track
-what happens with that column of oil in that oil cooler during some cornering? make sure it does not want to flow back to the turbo....
-you have a oil pan made for a engine hanging tilted in a fwd position... and now use it in a rwd position hanging level (or at least a different angle ) is the oil pick-up in the pan still in an ideal position?
I'm not saying you will have problems, i have a similar setup in a Starion.. and killed my bearings because the oil overheated.. Oil cooling is very important, my cooler was obviously not enough..
