QLD 1.8t baffled sump

[Sirocco20348]

Does anyone have a baffled sump for the 1.8t AGU they want to sell?

Pretty rare items. I have only seen them new. Got mine from psituning

[Sirocco20348]

Hmm yeh I agree. I should have bought the I've that came up for sale ages ago.

I'm looking at one of the pre-fabed drop in baffles from OS. If you wanted to split postage maybe we could do something.

Which one were you thinking? Was it this one?

It doesn't look very effective with side to side oil movement? I really have no idea what an ideal design is.

The forge baffled sump ex vat is like $270.

How does this one work? Is this a metal replacement for the plastic factory item? (Which I don't know if I have or not)

Those pictures are not a baffle, but a surge plate
If you did some mods on it and combined with the TSR one it would work OK
But what is really neededt is a gated style, but since Photobucket are such arseholes I cant post mine
Mine id bought but making an insert isn't that hard

So what does it actually do? Prevent oil going higher into the internals of the engine?

I think I'll wait out until I find a decent gated baffle like the forge.

And I agree with Photobucket, they systematically screwed a lot of build threads and tutorial threads across 1000s of forums, and they want like $300 a year (!?!?) To enable 3rd party website support.

yeah I'd been looking at the TSR one. I guess you could use the surge pan and weld baffles onto the underside of that to surround the oil pickup. What was it worth?

Yes it stops oil splashing forward under hard braking and back under acceleration (never usually an issue), the top picture has a over hang area that does the same. You can also use them to assist with with contolling the flow (where it drains to) and if youhave a gauze slowing the flow back which helps airation (as the oil drips through it breaks up the surface tension - not sure
These are good pictures of some custom ones for the V8's Why an ASR Oilpan? - Australian Specialty Racecraft


If you or you know someone who can braze they are really easy to make you just need a couple of hinges (nice and loose) and some relatively thin sheet metal. If you get the fit right you don't even need to bolt it down, just drop in, there is no requirement for them to be 100% sealed against the sump (as the TSR one isn't). Just use the basic principles of always leave 2" around the pick up and make sure the gates swing in not out!!!

Thank you all, I have sourced a sump.
