Trying to find out all the engine bay bolts & nuts sizes. Trying to replace it w titanium... no, not for bling. Gonna be buying em black. Not brunt colors. From the looks of it, most of em are M5~8. Now, slowly, but surely, I’ll replace em

Well if you need to know what size a specific engine bolt is let me know. My spare is on a stand at work.

I was supposed to have it done a while ago. But, Bluemoon oil pan baffle, Killer B pickup tube. I am worried about oil pressure under hard cornering. That is a single digit on the gauge.

If you wanna make sure then, I would recommend dry sump. I get that dry sump for nine high power boxer engine is kinda stupid, but it’ll def keep that engine safe under any corner G’s

I don't have "dry sump" budget. I have "accusump" budget at best.

I'm hoping the baffle takes care of it. It's only under really hard loads it drops so far. My lat G plot from my Aim shows about 3 spots on my local track it's an issue. It's really brief each time.

If it is short term, then only maybe the pan will help. Accusump works well for short term loss. We started with accusump and two engines later went to dry sump. now both race cars have dry sump. Good engines are more expensive than dry sump.
Not the BRZ but same reasoning will apply.

I really hope that it is enough. Being primarily a street car I just don't see dry sump as an option. I'd rather just throw less sticky tires on it at that point. I run street tires on track as it is already.
