FYI, we are working on a solution for the oil pickups in regard to silicone build up in the internal screen

Would like to see more capacity. Does the 2021 and older baffle plate and pickup work on our new 2022 engine? I want those parts but don't know about fitment.

I don't know on the baffle plate, but the pickup is VERY different. Has anyone got any conclusive data showing those horizontal baffle plates doing anything? From EJ stuff the almost more often do more harm than good, with some OEM baffles performing better. I'm telling you our super fancy $35 magnetic drain plug did more harm than good; tested twice, on three different cars. I have no data other than that product but based on our testing and similar results others have had, there's a pretty good probability it may hold true for all. |

For anyone curious, the lower oil pan holds 2.6 quarts.
The remaining 2.7 quarts is in the upper pan. |

If I can get a little more confidence that I'm not going to smoke my motor in a long high speed corner, then I'll buy it. Don't need anything fancy, just a little better baffling and an improved pickup and you've got yourself a customer.

It's the way of the future! Many manufacturers have made this switch, and I was apprehensive at first too, but if the design is good you have nothing to worry about.
While we do make/use plastic parts, and printed plastic parts for testing, I don't see a pan being one of them because we do so much with the rally guys, and they favor no-fail durability. Although, I'd assume the BRZ guys are more about weight savings and performance capabilities. Plus, there is a belly pan to offer some protection. In the years I've gone to rally events, I've only seen one BRZ so maybe this version does not need to prioritize indestructability? Afraid so. Happens to the best of us. Absolutely must have improved functionality! |

Instead of just stripping some threads, it became a pan replacement. Seemed to be more of a problem with Audi A3/S3 owners than with GTI's...not sure why. And while we're on the topic of plastics, the issues with the plastic impellers on the water pumps is a fun one too. Later re-designed to be metal. But that's a story for a different day. |

I don't mind the pan, but that 1/4 turn drain plug that you use a straight screwdriver to tighten makes me cringe at every oil change. |

What kind of price range would you guys consider as reasonable?
A simple product designed to be cost effective, is going to be nowhere near the same cost as one designed with performance as the top priority and feature rich. Where we end up on this scale could mean a final product in the $400-to-$600 range. Looking for feedback on what the majority here considers to be a priority. |
