TDIPLC Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Toda Racing have released an Anti G Sump with removable (for cleaning) windage tray, for the Honda Civic Type R (EP3), Integra Type R (DC5) and S2000. They are a lovely die cast construction, and are the next best thing to a dry sump for oil surge prevention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A long ... long time ago my dad designed a sump with mesh gates to slow the oil surge during the G effect, seemingly this maintained the oil pressure but to be honest the cars were only racing on ovals and this was hundreds of years ago. I still wonder though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still wonder though! It' the internal baffling that reduces the oil surge. The hinged gates your Dad concieved is still a valid method even today. The oil pick up pipe should be enclosed within a box which has hinged doors which only open inwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
