Hi guys,
I'm looking at taking my 3sge beams ss2 out to track days every now and again, so I'm wondering if a baffled sump is a good investment. Obviously there is no point going with a dry sump system so my question is, do I really need to worry? I have heard rumour that on hard left turns oil surge can be notorious on the 3sge. (Shouting out to fellow kiwis Manfeild is where I'll be heading.) So far I can't seem to find any manufacturer who makes a baffled sump for the 3sge, Moroso does one for the 3sgte though so would this work? Any advice or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks guys  -------------------- QUOTE (madbeardo @ Mar 27, 2013 - 8:17 PM)
When said about modification I didn't mean the ones made by man. What I said was that it might have modified after being affected by a certain force. |

where are you? get an engineering shop to improve your current baffle, get an autometer 30psi pressure switch and a big warning light if your that worried

I was wondering about getting a shop to improve the baffle, but is there any point? Being not very mechanically minded any rumour I hear and take seriously could be entirely wrong of course
