The other thing to consider is that we may be trying to compare two means of oil making its way up to the head ports. Sloshing is what you'd see in auto-X vs pooling (often called surge) what you see on a road coarse. On a road coarse with sustained Gs the outside head is not flowing back into the pan. Instead it is filling up the head/valve cover. Under a high enough lateral load, even oil from the crank can join the party. Eventually, the head pools a decent amount of oil, reducing the oil available in the sump, and you have starvation. So while the means of getting oil into the heads may be different, there is also the premise of oil being pumped into an outside facing head for 2 seconds or 6 seconds at full tilt. The longer you're at that load the more you run down the level in the pan. For a road coarse anyway. This is why long sweepers tend to define the oiling system's limitations. Quote:

So does it have a place, absolutely, but IMO not as a saving grace for engine bearings. There are many more better reasons for owning an accusump. |

I meant to post this a while back, but some more feedback from a real track guy...
This is a customer our ours that reached out to us a little over a year ago. Concerned with the sustained lateral loads the 818s were seeing on track (and they are impressive out of the box!), but he did not want to go to the extreme of going dry sump if it was possible... Chris, I finally got the car out yesterday at lunch time. I have made a few chassis and minor aero tweaks since my last outing and have made improvements in the feel, comfort and balance of the car. Anyway what is important is the KB pan, Oil Control Valve and Crawford Air Oil Separator all are working well together. Oil Pressure under load throughout the run (25 minutes) stays steady at 74-76psi with oil temp of 220* pulling 1.5 plus lateral G. Off throttle/idle is steady at 55-56psi. (stock EJ205, TGV delete, JDM V37 twin scroll turbo, header and up pipe 285WHP on pump gas). So the great news for me is confirming my determination not go to the expense of a Dry sump (and prove that a wet sump will work on these cars) so far has been validated. For KB I am so please your products work as advertised, looking at both the AIM and Cobb data I am seeing 18psi boost, zero knock and intake air temps close to ambient at the throttle body with a STi TMIC. I am far from a Subaru expert but believe that great percentage of the guys that are knocking out rod bearings is more than likely due to detonation and not oil starvation if running a set up close to mine.

I know this is not Oil Control Valve, but somewhat related. We've released our GR version and just started taking pre-orders for GD version of our Air-Oil Separator. Great addition to any rear racecar, and it's made for that environment in mind too.
We will have units available and on display at Boxerfest and Wicked Big Meet. Last edited by KillerBMotorsport; 06-07-2017 at 01:36 PM. |

Just a reminder for the track guys, these can sometimes sell out in the spring when everyone is rushing to get their cars prepped for the season. Don't be that guy, early bird catches the worm
We've had awesome feedback in regards to how this product solves one of the boxer engine's downsides; pushing oil out the valve cover breathers under high cornering loads under racing condition. This component eliminates or drastically minimizes that problem. Feel free to e-mail with any questions you may have |

Even if this is not the product for you, and you have oiling challenges, that's our specialty.
Shoot us a PM! |

I think you'll be pleased with the OCV performance. It has eliminated a lot of frustration for many track Subies. |
