Anyone running the mmr sump baffle?

Anyone running this? Debating ordering it for when I do my pan gasket and rod bearings but wanted to see if anyone has installed one yet? |

There are some guys in Germany and Switzerland running it on track.
I could link to that forum, but I guess it won't help you because it's all in German. The oil pressure while braking is much higher, it doesn't get below idle pressure - which is kind of the main problem. Stock the oil pressure while braking is getting way too low, much worse than if you trail brake into a left hander. As far as I have read though, it doesn't help with oil pressure in corners at all, so you get dips in pressure still in long corners. It's better than nothing, but as you have a N55 you can easily upgrade to the S55 sump, which is the perfect solution - you can even retrofit a proper oil dipstick than. I wouldn't bother with that solution, as it helps under braking, but not in long corners. And in my opinion that's the most concerning part, because under braking there is literally no load at all on the engine and bearing but in corners there is load. So the braking part doesn't seem to damage the rod bearing that much, the cornering part does and the only real good solution is the S55 sump. |

I have an accusump sitting next to me at the moment, just trying to work out the best way to mount it into the car. I think the accumsump would be the easiest cheapest way out of this. plus you can get a bit of oil pressure to the engine pre-startup which is not a bad thing!
I actually bought it for my R34 skyline, but I recently sold that for the BMW, so figured it would be good on the BMW. |
