Oil Sump Upgrade

[Angrysubie64]

Sometime next year, I want to fit on a Moroso oil sump: https://www.moroso.com/toyota-lotus-elise20970/ and the only question I need to ask: Should I fit on the new sump under the car, or should I get myself an engine stand?

Thats a hell of a lot of money, for what gain, not going to go any quicker

The gain is better reliability and that the aftermarket oil sump is baffled. The stock OEM sump for the 2ZZGE is NOT baffled which is a problem because oil would move to one side, causing the oil pump to suck up nothing but air.

If you're not tracking it, then a baffled sump isn't needed.  Quite a few people have used the 1ZZ sump instead (which is baffled to a degree, but nowhere near as much as the Moroso one) but it may require a little fettling around the pickup tube to get it to fit properly (opinions/experience seems to vary in regards to this).  A lot cheaper than the Moroso though

Well, I would like to take it out on a race track one day, so I that is my reason for getting a Moroso sump.
