hey

I tried the search, but couldn't find infos.

What oil pan should I buy ?

I found Mugen, J's, Spoon... maybe even buy the hardware to install in my pan.


Thanks for infos !

 

and whats wrong with your OEM pan?

 

Like almost every F20C oilpan, it doesn't like G's.

WHen you touge fast ro drift, you might have big big problems, like some friends already have.

First sign is the 22 CEL, Vtec pressure, meaning your oil moves too high in the pan.

THat's why it's HIGHLY recommended to get an aftermarket one.

 

even on a front midship rear sump motor?

 

I say go dry sump. If you are serious into drifting or road racing you need too anyway.

Words like "might", "some friends" and "highly recommended" are killing your argument.

Have you ever gone through oil starvation on this car? If so, you're probably low on oil.

If you wanna bench race/bench engineer some ****, then here goes. "iam7head" is correct about it being a rear sump, which means the car would experience oil starvation during hard braking, or trailbraking into a corner (yeah right). To create that amount of G's, you'd have to have a LOT of tires up front, or else you're just overloading the fronts and understeering those G's into tire smoke.

Not that I don't like the idea of a baffled pan. We do run them on our cars.

And X2 on the dry-sump if you're going to road race seriously.

 

I haven't heard of any oil starvation problems with the S2000 under hard cornering, but I don't know enough drift S2000s to be knowledgeable about those issues. However, according to GPS data we collected during a drift event, the g-forces experienced by a well driven S14 were less than or equal to the g-forces in a grip car. They g-readings were usually well inside the friction circle of a grip car.

The interesting thing was the direction of the g-force vector relative to the car. It usually points to towards the center of the turn radius like in a normal grip car, but instead of being perpendicular to the grip vehicle, it still points to the turn center despite the drift angle. Interesting stuff, but I digress: the point is that I didn't notice the g-forces in a drift to be any higher than in a grip car (usually lower), though the duration tends to be longer.

 

Sorry, 3 engine smoking on MagnyCours on right curbes and braking, 2 broke in drift...

In Europe it's a well know mod-to-do on the F20C !
