Now that I have an oil pressure gauge in car I can see drastic swings in oil pressure while on the autox course.
So this prompts a few questions. Does the Type IV have an oil system that really isn't adequate for higher G loads and quick direction changes? Will I see an noticeable difference if i go tuna can sump vs. Deep sump vs. Accu sump? I understand the Accu sump is likely the way to go but there is also a significant entry cost difference and more involvement on the install. I hate to spend the money on the easy install of a tuna can if it isn't going to make a noticeable difference and I should have just put the money toward the Accu sump. |

Im a bit biased here, And dont do any autoxing (prefer road course) but what I can add is that the Tuna can concept is pretty simple.
Instead of a wide flat pan for oil that is susceptible to G loaded slosh to the walls of that pan (away from the sump PU) by lowering the oil PU point to a constrained pool at the lowest point in that pan, as long as your engine has (sufficient) oil you should always have pressure. |
