it's crossed my mind that due to the brutal acceleration and hard cornering that perhaps my engine is been starved of oil on occasion. I havnt had any problems yet as the car is still been run in so mostly gentle driving, but it is a concern that when I start dialling up the boost and fuel that oil deprevation might become an issue.
does the standard xud sump have any baffles to prevent oil sloshing about, I know that the early mi 16 engines had baffled sumps so maybe a future modification?
another route to explore could be a dry sump conversion, expensive and complicated I know but I have a few bits knocking about that I could use to do it.
has anyone with a high power xud ever had any oil feed problems or am I just worrying about nothing?
