Guys, I've been running my 6 bolt engine in a CA3A Mirage Coupe since the start of the year. It is a dedicated track car, being used for both road racing and autocross events. Ive got some aero, big feet, pulling around 1.3-1.4g in corners. Depending on the event I run up to 500whp. As I develop the car these numbers are only going to increase
My data logging is revealing that I have a level oil oil surge under heavy braking and left handers as as we already know are the weak points of the stock oil system. I am currently over-filled by 10mm and have a Crank Scraper fitted.
Has anyone encountered this issue, and found a satisfactory solution other than dry sump. I would like to do dry sump at some stage but the car is not long finished so my wallet is still smoking. I'm looking for a cheapish solution to upgrade the factory sump and do my own fabrication. Just want to get a handle on what works for the 4g63 and what is a waste of time
Ignore the junk data at the end of that log, I had the oil pressure sensor fail completely, suspected due to heat and vibration and caused all the 5v sensors to fault.
