im trying to think of a new design for the baffle inside the oil pan. b series engine. ive seen the baffle plates you can buy for passwordjdm, but it looks simialar to the stock baffle design except the 2 plates you would weld it that sit upright. my question is would that be enough baffling so when you come into a turn the oil pressure wont drop?

check out the moroso oil pan baffling maybe...

 

ive looked on there website at the street strip pan and from the looks of it it doesnt look any different from a stock pan. i could be wrong though

 

that baffling is fine. you don't want so much that the oil can't return to the pickup.

 

This is definitely something you want to think about, but don't over think it. Unless you're pulling massive Gs on slicks, you probably won't ever have a problem with the stock baffling and especially with the password setup.

 

im worried about it because in my buddies car its a lsvtec and just driving down the road and i believe when he comes into a left hand turn his oil pressure drops and on on turbo setup id think that wouldnt be good when you need constant oil pressure. thank you for the info

Look into the 5.5qt Moroso pans with the trap-door baffling. It's the best pan on the market and it doesn't cost anything more than the Mugen/SPoon/Feel's/etc.

 

exactly what i was talking about in my first post.

 

I love my Moroso pan

 

I bought a set from fastline performance. I looked at the PWJDM ones, but i liked these more.

is that a custom oilpan? in the second picture ive never seen a oil pickup like that

 

its all moroso stuff, for the price they charge for it, i dont think you can make it that cheap, more cost effective to just buy it from jegs/summit

 

my car is going to be a street/strip car, do you think is necessary to spend the money on a pan like that?

 

i thought with some moroso pans you have to get another pickup? i thought thta the stock pickup wont work.. correct me if im wrong

 

after seeing the baffling and the way the oil pick up is designed with this pan, id never run anything else.

with THIS moroso oil pan, which they call their wet sump oil pan, you must run their oil pickup, which is pictured above as well.

 

with this pan it would suitable for the street? one more question its that theres a difference between the vtec and none vtec pickups im going to be using an ls block with a vtec oil pump should i still get the vtec pickup?

 

Moroso pans are a bit pricey but you pay for what you get. I bought a OBX pan for my D series and the fit was crap but i bought it cause i was cutting the flange off to put it on a D16Y8.

I put my car in a hard corner left then sharp right turn and rappppppp rod knock stock oil pan. With the new pan i can pound it and no pressure drops once so ever and ive noticed with the alum pan and the extra liter and bit of oil a consitant 40 deg drop in temps.

 

i had a d16z6 with no baffles in the pan and I ran it hard for years on the race track....never any problems....i have a b16 now with no baffles ...it's been going to the track for like 9 years lol

I want to buy the heeltoe baffle plates but add a trap door to the top to allow the oil to drain back quicker....why kinda of light weight sprung hinge can I use for the door or is there no point to that

thanks
