I changed the design a bit, so this is currently on my car being tested (when I can with Covid Lockdowns).
Everything is looking really good, I just want to hit the track to verify some of the changes.


InfiniteEvo new oil pressure regulator, fresh ground-up design


Can you use this oil pan/inline oil pressure regulator with stock ECU?

Yup sure - just need an oil pressure sensor or gauge to set it up initially.
The regulator will be able to use and adjust for any weight oil (5W30, 10W40, 15W50 etc etc).

Are you sure about that because I thought larger oil pans were only compatible with aftermarket ECU's or at least a firmware update to the stock ECU?

What difference does the capacity of the pan have in ECU parameters? I can't think of anything?

Finally - we have data from the same car, same driver, same oil, same conditions etc.
A true back-to-back test with all things being equal.
The new Infinite Evo oil pan for Evo 4-9 massively outperforms the current "leading competitor".

Sales will be up very soon, production is in full swing.

@RSMike is this required when fitting your sump kit?

Hey @EvocentriK , you dont need to modify the housing when you're installing our kit.
It comes with all the parts you need, except for silicone/sealant for the pan (I'll look at add that once I have supply of sealant).
Our oil filter housing fitting replaces the regulator parts.

Thanks for that. So if the stock oil return hole is unplugged, does oil continue to return to the back of the pan in the stock location as well as via the new front of pan return system?

Also I asked this elsewhere but I'll put it here to consolidate - the pans stocked by Benny at Benchmark all have additional NPT ports next to the oil drains. I don't need this, I have an oil temp/pressure sensor in the housing already. Are the pans available without these additional ports?
