Given these two conditions, upgraded oil pump and the Trust oil sump, has anyone ever heard of anyone ever blowing their engines from oil starvation? And what were the details?
I've tried searching all the forums, and haven't seen anything related to oil starvation with the deeper sump and a good functioing oil pump. I think this actually raises the oil weaknesses to where other engine weakesses start becoming apparent ie detonation etc and I think that is something I would be fine with...but with the trust 8 liters of oil and deep sump, I don't see how it could starve from lateral forces or or otherwise. And I thought my other car was a maintnence whore :-D
My engine was just built with a N1 oil pump and am thinking about yanking it again, argh to do the "piece of mind" mods because of the track. So this is what I have surmised with all the RB collective consciousness of the interenet :-) any other recommendations or advise is appreciated.
-head drainback to sump
-tomei oil gallery orifices
-tomei or nismo oil pump
-trust oil sump or tomei baffle plates
optional
-mines camcover oil baffles I don't really see the increased benfit with these, last I heard they were back ordered so i might not even bother
Thanks,
Joe
