Still available but Mucho Dinero
Spoon uses them on their race engines

 

The oil pan/girdle costs about $5000 give or take a few hundred.

wow... :speechless:

 

Strengthen the flat surface by adding webs?

Will

 

They are cooling fins and they are faced the right way it's just the way they took the picture. Remember the Honda engine sits hortizonal but in the pic it looks turned around only because its on engine stand for pictures.

The baffles are there to keep a good supply or oid on all the vital parts during high G corning and spinning engines between 8-12k all race long. It's hard to keep oil onto parts spinning that fast and also in high G corners. This oil pan is used in there N1 cars

 

$5k!!!!???? thats insane! thats way too steep for that, is that really he price?

jeez and i thought the moroso pan was overpriced

 

Yep That Baby goes for 260000 yen !!!! But with the yan to dollar rate now at 122 to the dollae that "ONLY"!! Costs about 2200$ Small change for some of us hahahah Yea Right But I would give it the for cool points

 

That price is only for the girdle not the oil pan or the other way around. Anyways, oil pan and girdle are TWO SEPARATE items. Trust me, I have seen the Spoon catalog.

And you can't use another oil pan because those clever Spoon guys made sure part of the support for the block from girdle was built into the oil pan itself. Hence the two items are INSEPARABLE.

 

ONE Word TYPO But Last week when I was at Type One (Spoons new retail shop) They Sad "260000" YEN

 

The Mugen baffled oil pan is in the $250 (or slightly less) range, and the R already has a partial "griddle".

 

Also remember that cooling fins do not need air flowing across them to be effective, although it helps. The fins create a larger surface area which dissipates heat better. Not trying to call anybody down, I just thought I'd add that.
