windage tray for 16v
#5
I've just finished penciling out a deal with Kevin at Crank-Scrapers.com to represent their 16v and 32v scrapers and windage trays in our catalogs.
They have the right documentation and dyno charts to prove that their's is the real deal - and a quality product that I am happy to represent.
I'll have up for sale within next 2 weeks.

I just ordered scrapers for my 16V engine from Crank-Scrapers.com. I went with the "option 2", with plates that direct the oil from the heads into the sump, but not the full Vindage tray set-up (because of cost). I already have a sump baffle from a GTS installed, hopefully I don't have to worry about 2/6 bearing failure now...

Windage tray should dramatically cut down on the 16v oil mist to the separator, wouldnt ya think? It's my last line of defense before adding on a oil catch can. Somthing I don't have the room for.

I'm looking to put in a scraper for mist control. Even with the rebuilt engine and good compression numbers I blow out too much oil. Around 1/3 quart each half hour. That's with the oil filled 1/2 quart low on the stick. If I filled it to the line it'd blow out the first 1/2 quart too.
My home track (BIR) features a 3/4 mile straight where I go WOT through 3rd and 4th and into 5th. That can't be helping. Needle passes 140 then time for a turn. Fun!

IMHO - if you are not spending time above 6,000 RPM, you will not have any 2/6 bearing problems normally. And, unless you have changed your tuning and power curve, I do not understand why anyone would take a stock engine up there as the power curve falls off and you should shift to a different gear.
The 928 is a torque motor (IMHO) and not a RPM motor (read the specs!) - so just tune and build your motor to develop its power band from 3 to 6k (like Porsche did) and your crank will be fine. No 2/6 problems. Stay away from RPM's north of 6,000.
That said - there are a number of racers up there - Mark A, John V, etc. BUT - you need to understand that they are not in those RPM's casually - they have done a lot of work and changes to allow their engine to do that, and their engines DO produce power up there.
Don't forget that - even with a windage tray setup, a long carousel turn at high lateral G's - like the Carousel at Road America - will starve an engine of oil . The windage tray will only help in short-duration sloshing back-and-forth. It DOES help, there is no doubt, but if you are going to spend upwards of 15 seconds in a constant high lateral G turn (like a carousel) the only thing I know of that can save you is a dry sump system or a 3-quart Accusump.

Carl,
Dyno runs show my Euro S has a power peak at about 5950rpm. I'll take it up to 6500 to maximize overall power applied. (Mark? Mark?) Not in a corner, though. Fun to see those 944 Turbos and N/A 911s getting smaller in the rear-view mirror.

Agreed, my EuroS pulls to the redline. I am rebulding my engine for a Lysholm supercharger and would like as much power as possible. Of course, if the engine can handle 6.500rpms it will produce more power than at 6.000... (At least a Euro S engine)
The engine management system I will use can handle input from a G-meter, so I can use the "soft rpm limiter" to stay below, say 5.000rpms, in high-G turns!
