You sound like a guy who could use some swag as well! Thanks so much for the compliments!

 

Soooo about that dry sump kit...

 

Especially if there would be a way to have one and retain AC

 

Magnus motorsports now offers a dry sump kit that will allow AC, check it out if youre interested!

That being said, honestly 99% of the folks who are after a dry sump will not have AC in their car.

I'd just like to see MAP bring back their dry sump kit; makes me wonder why it went away in the first place.

 

Redesign the small battery kit (move it a bit more towards the firewall) so that the stock airbox can be incorporated with short route intercooler piping.

 

Cool, I'll have to check. It has been a while since I looked. I could also just be reluctant in turning the car into a full race car, which is why I still have my ac and the interior.

 

I'd rather see a better wet sump pan than have them bring back the dry sump kit. I think lots of guys talk themselves into the dry sump stuff without realizing how fast you have to go to actually need one. Both the Professional Awesome and RS/365 teams set tons of lap records on chopped up stock pans. They didn't make the move to dry sumps until they went full crazy (tons of aero, sequentials, massive slicks). I think it would do more people more good to have a proper wet sump than reintroduce another dry sump for a platform that already has like 5 options.

 

Map has been one of my go to places when I fix my evo. Now, with the ct9a parts becoming harder to find, and even the aftermarket parts like denso, and bilstein becoming special order, it's even more imperative that map stays at the forefront for evo parts. Offer quality aftermarket parts that are affordable. It's a great service that you do for us evo 8 and 9 guys.

 

I'd dry sump my car, but I do occasionally drive it to meets. I'd like to not arrive with a sweat-soaked shirt.
😂
I also sometimes drive to and from events. I will never ditch the AC.

I have a custom pan that has never left me needing more. I'msure everyone has that option ,though. I probably don't really need dry sump any more than a sequential trans...But I'd still like both. I'd probably do the DS before sequential ,though.

 

None of the current solutions solve the actual oil problem of 4Gs, which is that the oil can't return to the sump under right handers. The whole portion of the pan that isn't modified by Racefab and everyone else is what needs to be changed to fix this issue. Making the sump larger is a bandaid, and it works for most people, once you get into 40TW and below or slicks it's a different story.

Dry sumps are not necessary at all. Look at James Houghton's Integra, he took a handful of lap records last year and he's on track to crush them all again this year. He's arguably one of the fastest time attack cars in North America. He's on a wet sump, it's smartly designed so that oil is able to return to the center of the sump where the pickup is and it's got baffles and trap doors to keep it in the center once it gets there.

 

So far, my oil is staying at the pickup. So we'll just say it works for me.
If ,at some point, it doesn't maybe MAP will have a nice, complete dry sump setup ,since that's the only other option better than what I have now.

 

I would definitely like to try and get our old dry sump kit revised as there really aren't too many options out there right now for this platform, especially ones that retain AC. Which in my opinion is important for those like yourself who street drive their cars and don't keep a mop and bucket in the passenger seat 😂

 

A/C is also awesome when you are in staging, before the hot pit.
I made a cool shirt setup that I put together is a life saver. Best $175 I ever spent.
