Help please baffled sump MX5

[sketch pad]

Hi,
Who makes , where can I get a baffled sump for a 10 year old 1.8 MX5 or does anybody have one they do not need. i want to start using my car for track days so i guess I am going to need some sort of baffled sump. Are they any other little things that could improve the car for that sort of use without costing lots of money?Thank you.

Did you post this over on Nutz about a week ago?

If so, see the answers there.

If not, it was decided a baffled sump isn't needed as I think (IIRC) the MX5 has one. And even if it doesn't, no one unless it's a full on race car has problems with oil starvation.

I was going to say I've never heard of anybody needing one. Mine is all standard in the engine department and so far no problems on track.

Don't need one.

I investigated this ages ago. Turns out the sump is baffled as standard. (Verified on mine when I put tapped the turbo oil return in)

As per the other posters, it's not required.

You need to be pushing serious power, and have extremely sticky wide tyres to create the sort of G-forces that can effect oil supply.

And even then a baffle isn't the answer, and accusump is.

or jsut putting a bit more oil in for a track day
