CJM Oil Pan

I see a problem with your design, it looks like the oil return from the turbos (the adapters on the side) is pointing straight at the check valves, the oil stream will hit it and keep it open making ur design useless.

I could be wrong.

You mean that oil would be going through the baffles in the direction we want it to? Doesnt bother me one bit.

The point of the baffles is to allow oil to travel towards the pickup. Oil flow in that direction is good. If the turbo drains were pushing oil in that direction, that would be a positive as it would provide oil flow in the direction we want it, and it would create a venturi effect promoting additional oil to flow in this direction.

When you want the baffles to close when turning, g-loads will close the baffles from the weight of oil pressing on them. So it wouldnt make a difference when it matters.

Although, the reality of it is that the turbo return oil is not high velocity. It is generally pretty aerated low velocity oil and probably couldnt push the baffles open even if the car was sitting stationary.

So while I dont agree with your concern at all, your concern does make me realize an alternate consideration. Maybe I will try and baffle the return area some to increase oil residency in the turbo return oil for the sake of improved aeration disposal.

Well in my line of work, it is a common practice if you see a problem say something, the worst thing that can happen is your wrong, i personally would change the output direction to cause less problems.

By the way its a little off topic, but i am looking for a reputable company that can mill me titanium. Maybe you can recommend some one?

I think that anyone with a mill can machine it, I have friends that have before, they just used careful consideration of tooling. Its an expensive material to machine anything of size with since its such a wasteful manufacturing process - example, this oil pan looses about 90% of its material weight from start to finish.

At any rate, I am sure pretty much any machine shop will take a shot at it for you.
