Has anybody ever autocrossed without a deep oil sump and not had a problem with oil starvation? Due to a parts combination, I may have to lose mine, but I won't do so if it's gonna cost me an engine. I've got an external oil cooler so I've got plenty of capacity, but I just don't want it to starve under side loads. Asking for the benefit of others' years of experience. Thanks.

Can't you run a tuna can at minimum? I'd be worried given fact you run Qualcomm. That's more of a mini road course with elevation changes that you will want some level of protection. I'd be worried about longer duration turns where car isn't level.
I ran streets of willow and then 4 years of ax with only tuna can and never had issues with my 1.8 powered car. |
