After having my motor rebuilt last August and doing less than 1000kms on it, when all of a sudden i had no oil pressure finally me and my mechanic removed the motor from my car removed the sump and it just started picking up on the bearing so probably the best news i could have heard, so replacing the bearings and putting in an N1 oil pump and Jun Crank collar which i purchased late last year.

I have done the Oil restrictor mod aswell, but havent done the sump baffle or Head to sump return mod.

Im in 2 minds about doing them i have read up alot on it i was looking at the tomei sump baffle but was told the Jun Sump baffle is better, I sent off my crank and collar to get machined today and i want the car back on the road asap i have never been on the track before and the car is prodomently a street car, but wouldnt mind starting to get into it abit more.

If you were in my position would you baffle it or just fill it up and extra 1.5L or so on the occasional track day i go on?

My Mods are:

r32 GTR

CP forged pistons (40 though)

prepped standard Rods

ARP Stud bolts

n1 oil pump

Jun Crank Collar

Tomei Restrictor Mod

Bosch 044 fuel pump

Sard Fuel Reg

r33 GTR N1 Turbos

Os Giken Cam Gears

Oil Catch Can

3.5inch Turbo back Exhaust

Standard Cooler

Remap ecu

a bit or head work

Standard Cams.

greddy profec B boost Controller

torque split controller

When i put it back together my friend is going to live tune it for me just untill i organise the power fc and injectors.

Is there anything else i should do while the motor is out?

Cheers

For the 10 minutes it takes to change I would put a sump baffle kit in, and still over fill it for the track.

Oil return is a good idea but it does take a bit more work to ensure it all fits close and doesn't foul when the donk goes back. If you are in a hurry to get it back on the road pass.

Well if you want it cheap you order from japan and wait, or if you want it tommorrow you'll have to pay more and buy through an aussie shop that has them in stock (justjap powerplay UAS etc)

or access in mulgrave have them in stock as well as full modified sumps

ask for steve top bloke and im surehe will get you headed in the right direction.

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/

    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
