I have a '73 914 with a 2.4L 4 cylinder. it has about 155-160hp & 170lbs of torque. I took it to a track event & it ran great. The only problem I had was the oil pressure would get dangerously low when cornering sharply; especially to the left. This is not a race car, but I do a few drivers ed events each year. I have asked some friends advice on how to fix the problem. The suggestions I have gotten are putting in a deep oil sump, putting an accu-sump on or doing both. Are these the best options? any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thx, Tom |

You'll find several threads here....start with the "tuna can" type of sump addition and overfill by 1/2 quart. If that's not enough, Scat and/or CB sells a deep sump. Caution on torque on the sump bolt--- it's like only 5 ft. lbs.
