Speak for youself
Or are you arguing that an Accusump will NOT help with oil starvation.....

My DD is a BRZ, and my other car (full race prep) is a Porsche 2.0L Boxer.....

I blew my motor and I think oil starvation was a large reason why.

I have a oil pan baffle on my new motor.

And what he says makes sense, in this car you will likely fuel starve before you run into oil issues on stock powertrain.

In a mood Strat?
The OP was asking about a stock car at stock abilities not some ultramooded hyper race machine. So the answers given were reasonable not "arm chair quarterbacking". He received his answer within 3 posts and the rest are redundant and simply argumentative anyway.
To go into the whole fuel starvation thing is a whole different topic and not only doesn't answer the question it was posted with questionable motives in the first place.
There is nothing wrong with the tech crowd wanting to have there debates but they frequently reach levels that become so theoretical that they become meaningless for the average guy out there anyway.
Squadrouge asked if it is a problem the short answer for him was no unless he starts heavy modding and extensive tracking.

Thats not the point of contention. Kiichiro obviously has some issues if he continues to be on the forums flaunting how much better (off) he is than those who are staying with the FRS

Notice I didn't say anything about the OP's question, and yes I went off topic to point out how weird it is Kiichiro continues to come here despite his obvious distaste for the platform. He calls it a "toy", when people may not be looking to competitively race their FRS but have an outstanding little racecar to daily drive, weekend warrior, etc... to which many will attest that the FRS goes above and beyond to accomodate. Would love to see VW/Porsche try and come out with a comparable RWD platform for the same pricepoint, and then we can split hairs. Otherwise there's a bit of issues the guy must be dealing with to continue and try to assert how right he is by jumping ship

That's the topic currently at hand and he is contributing.

I agree with you on his attitude and motivations but I wouldn't snub information from the biggest **** on the planet if it's relevant to my needs.

And kiichiro contributed to that conclusion.

See you at the track.

I have heard from two seperate life long mechanics who are working on blown EJ's right now due to oil starvation (not our engines, I know. but still boxer).

Putting a oil baffle plate into our oil pans is not a bad idea for insurance purposes if you are tracking your car or running a tapped oil pan.

lmao don't you drive like 400 miles a day or something?

Canadian Tire Motorsport park is ~2 hours 45 minutes from you.

You've got three tracks that are within distance for a weekend trip, book a hotel, take off work early on Friday. I dismiss your excuses.

lol not my video, I haven't even been East of the Mississippi yet...

Just grabbed the first FRS at Tcoat's nearest track that google came up with, although I've got plenty of my own gaffes on camera that I'm hiding away.



Edit: I wish I had forearms like that
