My B16A sump was identical to that.

Barefoot - can't see the pics?


bugger looks like i'm not gonna bother now since it does have some baffling.
Wish someone had told me earlier cos i went to all the trouble of putting a lip on my baffled sump!

yes... thats there is already a plate there from factory for the ITR.. not sure about the rest..


Kinda makes me wonder why there people use another weld in baffle plate..

becareful of oil starvation if u decide to run both

fixed up ma pics.

If the baffles are designed with consideration for adequate drainback you have nothing to worry about. This is why I am a bigger fan of trapdoor style baffles compared to the top plate and lip ones that you see (even though I run a top plate and lip style).

And as for adding in another baffle plate when there is already some there..... they have proved to be not enough with cars that have hit the track, especially when running semi's.

FWIW........ I'd rather spend money on a pan first than buy a gauge just to tell me that I am getting pressure loss.

Blitz, only b16a and b18c7 had them. All the other ones didn't have the baffled sump.

Barefoot - since you have had both can you tell me, is it worth putting in the baffled sump for tracking or is the stock one good enough?

Also did you get more noise in the sump from the baffle?

And did your get that baffle from Dave from Clubrsx? cos i think i got the same one.

Yes its worth for track, esp for high corner tracks. $100 for safety, rather then spedning 1k for a spun bearing.

I don't see why there would be more noise with a baffle sumped?

was told the stainless steel may add to noise and the oil moves around on it.

think about it....... long and hard..... I can't really hear my oil sloshing around currently, but I havn't had my ears checked in qutie a while :D

unless your engine is very quiet at 8000rpm. i dont think u will hear it.
