I’m going to have my sump off shortly to reseal.

Are any worthwhile things to do whilst it’s off? Are the RCM or KillerB baffles and pickups worthwhile on a road car that may see mild track time.

I don’t really want to go as far as spending 6-700 on this on trick sumps so are there any value for money worthwhile things or should I just reseal it and forget about it

Haven't the 2.5 and twinscroll got the same sump ?

Those kind of jobs are best done with the engine out on a stand, although I'm sure someone will have done it on stands in the driveway. ( the pickups, not the sump itself)

Thanks for the replies.

The Fuji racing stuff does appear good quality and well priced compared to the alternatives so I think I’ll give their baffle and pickup kit a go.

The engine is currently out of the car and on a stand so no problems there.

bear in mind that the baffle plates are a 'sticking plaster' in real terms and not anywhere near as effective as a properly baffled sump..............

also not sure how a number of slots cut into a metal plate creates anything 'ultimate' ??

What Alyn said ^^^^ if you have the engine out then best to go for a proper baffled sump imo

Is this something that can be done with the engine in situ? And is there any real world advantage to fitting the baffle plate kit and pickup on a road car?

the likes of the baffle plates that have the rubber flaps installed will offer a slightly better solution at keeping the oil in the sump rather than the plain metal 'slotted' type ones but only offer a small improvement IMO, the likes of the "suction adaptors" that help stabilise the pick-up pipe we find are a decent addition and will do a small amount at trying to keep oil at the tube which is ultimately what most of these plates fail at.............

a properly fabricated "grpN" style sump is not that much more in the scheme of things but will actually work

I guess the main thing is talking to suppliers that actually offer the correct advice and product??
