Hi rpm oil starvation

jrb55gh · 02-08-2015, 07:38 PM

It appears that the surest non dry sump solution to oil starvation available today would be the GTM pan with extra oil capacity and active baffles. Also the increased surface area of the pan will offer a little extra cooling relative to the stock pan. If the conditions of operation (rpm’s, oil temp) remain the same for the new pan, the oil change interval could be lengthened too.

Thanks for all the inputs to this thread.

Well, the GTM pan doesn't have active baffles. And good luck on getting anything from GTM.

My oil pan is from AM Performance, which is no longer in business.

I got mine from Shamu when he was rebuilding his engine, and went with a dry sump system. Think there was only about 20 of the oil pans made.

Not sure what is meant by "active baffles, but the GTM pan has one-way trap door baffles that help keep the oil at the pick up tube. It's a great pan from a lousy company.

The pictures of inside of the GTM pan that I seen, just had the baffles cast into it. Didn't see anything that looked like trap doors.

It's not too bad, but if you have a Z-speed under-tray, the trap door will be useless.

I believe your thinking of the Greddy pan

, this is optional baffle insert on the GTM pan

I remember seeing the GTM pan without the optional baffle.
