hey Maurice,
on the oil cooler and remote oil filter subject, the more you modify, it really is the simple things that will let you down, i know of at least 3 drift cars that have blown engines and all due to a stupid pipe comming off the oil cooler.. i would really be careful off this, maybe try and find better fittings and piping systems than standard or than whats on cheap oil coolers or remote systems.. you prob find it hard to find a place for remote filter unless your going to get rid of tmic, i reckon for track use that the tmic will provide more quick burst out of corners and be more suitable for the constant on/off throttle use on tracks and back road thrashings, i suppose what they were originaly designed and set up for... as regards the baffled sump, a guy told me that the reason type r scoobys seem to be more common to blow engine is because of the diff control and guys doing rings in them, apparently one direction is ment to pull the oil away from the oil pump and cause oil starvation on the big end bearings, i would well beleive this because if you do rings too long in the old twincam corrolas rwd in the one direction the g forces will push the oil up the wall of cylinders and in beside piston causing it to plume out oil smoke and possibly die, .. now can you imagine the effect on a flat four engine, behind the pistons when on top dead centre would be full of oil starving the bearings and oil pump, maybe even starve as far up as cams,... track use with sticky tyres like semi slicks or even just good road rubber will cause g forces as well and push oil up side of sump and out into the deck behind pistons, i reckon baffled deep sump would be a real must for lots of track time. i had tought of oil cooler for my old sti and i was going to take a leaf out of evo6 book, i was going to cut out the two spotlight holes and have oil cooler benind 1 and cold air feed behind other or like evo6, oil cooler behind 1 and square number plate over other and big fmic in middle
