While you may be right, the motor in question was blown at a trackday.

BlackMK4 posted:Uhh, no, LS3s have oiling issues when tracked. They will oil starve after like 1.2g lateral. But wasn't the Corvette Grand Sport the best one that got the LS3 and that only hit 1g? The Z06 did 1.03 but that didn't have the LS3. Am I correct that the M3 does 0.98, so it's not really an issue on slower cars? Edit: Oh I guess I'm quoting official numbers which are taken as an average around a circular turn, so going around a track would hit well over that. davebo fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Nov 3, 2016 |

I'm going to run it on slicks with a baffle setup. A few mates do in their LS TVRs with no issues. All of life is but a gamble.

What a stock car can do on a skid pad and what happens when you go out on a race track are two completely different things. Especially if you improve the suspension and tires and maybe have a bit of aero. So then maybe in a long, high speed sweeper you are pulling more like 1.5g.

Yeah I'm with Octopus Magic, if you're driving around a track hitting 1.5g you should have a dry sump involved.

Yeah a dry sump is great but also costs around $5k. I would definitely have an oil accumulator.

My pal has a dry sump on his lsx'd ae86 and it's been nothing but trouble. I think it cost about 7k as well. He said not to bother as well. Dunno!

BlackMK4 posted:The factory dry sumps were having issues too. The LS7/LS3 Gran Sport dry sump system is really more of a hybrid than what most people think of as a dry sump oiling system. It is still subject to crankcase windage issues, aeration of the oil, and other issues, partially because of the crankcase/pan design, and partially because it's still using the same oil pump as other Gen3/4 engines. It's better than a regular wet sump pan, but not as good as a purposeful-designed dry sump system.

I've seen a few cars set up like that in real life and I have to ask why? What is the point? It just seems like taking a functional car and loving it up and making it far less functional. I can't see a single way that wouldn't be poo poo to drive for a whole host of reasons.

Well, you see, wider wheels, thin tires, lowered suspensions, and slight camber are what's on race cars. But they can't afford race cars, so to show how awesome their cars are, they have super wide wheels, the thinnest tires, the lowest possible suspension, and extreme camber

Rigged Death Trap posted:Do dry sumped LT1s have the same problem? From what I understand, it's pretty much the same as the GenIII/IV dry sump. Fine for a production car, but going to have issues with heavy track use on racing tires. (Note: I'm not terribly familiar with the GenV stuff yet. Haven't gotten hands on with it yet.)

The More You Know No no it is, basically making a Japanese shitbox all show and no go, not necessarily to make them "more Japanese". The acronym is what the people who do that use to defend their dumb decisions.

Powershift posted:It was, that's a backronym. Ok, I was right about the racisit-ish, JDM, pejorative nature, but race inspired cosmetic enhancements sounded just authoritative enough to maybe be a legitimate marketing term. I kinda like that Fiat joke, but my favorite one is one I heard from Adam Savage describing his new 500 a few years back: "How do you get spare parts for your Fiat? Follow one on the highway and just grab whatever falls off."

I trust cheap(er) basic appliances far more than high end stuff.  The low end stuff tends to be fully mechanical. IMO it's more robust, cheaper to repair, and lasts longer. Assuming you're going with major brands (and avoiding Samsung), anyway.
