[email protected] Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 From Roger Becker at the US LOG and confirmed recently by Nick Adams, shoding your 2-Eleven with slicks and running it on a track that has fast left handers severly risks oil starvation and subsequent engine failure. The 2 litre Accusump will not protect the engine in long sweeping left handers with "slick" grip! Adding any one of the larger oil pans that adds oil capacity, has baffles, and even "trap doors" is no guarantee. The only failsafe answer is a dry sump system, something that Lotus is currently working on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgn340r Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Guess another expensive option! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ads_green Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Accusump do a 3 litre unit - would buy some more time. Of course dry sumping is the best option but isn't easy at the best of times without the space constraints of an Elise engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
