baffeld, accusump vs dry sump
I realise there is really no comparison and the dry sump system is better hands down, but, what would peoples opinion`s/experiances be with a baffled sump and the accusump system used together ?
Given the cost of a dry sump system i`d like to look into alternative means of trying to avoid engine damage due to air being pulled into the oil pump under hard cornering etc, im defiantly going to use the car on track when its finished and i may even enter a few rounds of time attack next year hence the reason for looking into this.
Cheers in advance

Baffled sump+accusump+catch cans+return to sump = nearly dry sump money.
Plenty of people will spend the extra on a better ECU with better features and more safey, why not on a proper oiling system?

What kinda prices are we looking at for a dry sump? What kits are available? This is something too I have been looking at, and have just been reading an article on the accusump's in a mag.
I was going to post this exact same question

Cheers Duncan,
Just had a look... Quite a big ish job, and looks rather expensive (i know its not as expensive as an engine rebuild) but is it really less then getting a baffled sump ect?
For anyone else that wants to see the kit, see here:

Would you pm me a price for a full dry sump set up kit please fella.
As above fella i didn`t realise the costs would be similar, and like you say if it is not enough then its a possible full rebuild, and we both know my luck mate hey
Did you fit yours? is it something i could do would you say mate.
Jamz maybe we should see if we buy 2 we get a discounted rate lol

What would you say to this approch fella, i finish build using a baffled sump, get some track time in, i have no track experiance as of yet, when and if i get to a level where i would need it then go for the dry sump.
Iv wanted to do time attack for years mate as we used to speak about when doing my first build but so many factors just wouldn`t allow it then, now im in a better position i`d like to try and get there, eventually lol.
Would i be in your opinion ok learning on track with a baffled sump?

It would take me an extra 5-6 months to put the money away for the dry sump mate, i could get the baffled one, use the car and when iv saved then go from there, sell the baffled to put towards, just hate the thought of having to wait longer for the car to be finished in all reality mate.
