Production is complete and the baffles are 100% ready to go. I am REALLY happy with the quality of the work they did on my concept.

Details:
1. Custom metal baffle doors (aircraft riveted to baffles)
2. CNC cut stainless panels and frames
3. Teflon "gaskets" around edges to help seal baffles area to pan/block
4. Bolts directly to any stock 996 3.4L & 3.6L oil pan
5. Dimensions are similar to X51 oil baffles
6. Pricing will be around $200'ish
7. Integrated doors/hinges

For ordering this baffle or if you have any questions on the component, please contact J3 Motorsport individually as I do not have any affiliation with them.

Ask for David and mention Rennlist

Hey Chad,

Maybe there is a disconnect. You say the price will be comparable to the stock plastic baffle. That would be around $30-40. Yet when I spoke with Dave at J3 last week he quoted me $200 ish.

Do you know which is it?

Thanks for you efforts btw.

Chads996

There would be yes...you are correct on the price. About $200.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Chad,

Thanks for clearing that up

What does this do again?

Irksome

confuses (baffles) the oil, of course!

more seriously, I believe the intent is to help prevent oil starvation under heavy cornering. This would be targeted at people who track their cars, as you are unlikely to get to oil starvation driving on street tires on public streets, or if you do, I hope I'm nowhere near you...

I thought this was a cup holder...my bad

Cup holder for the track?

Good job Chad! It's great to see an enthusiast developing and a motorsports company picking up the idea.

How does this mod compare to the x51 oil pan upgrade?

Wouldn't it be easier to buy a dry sump car... like a GT3?

$200 vs $40,000? No it would not be easier to buy a GT3.

All props to the tinkerers. If it wasn't for the guys with the guts to experiment with their cars, where would motorsport be? This isn't on my list, but I respect that you did it. Bench-racing, like most talk, is cheap.

Chads996

It's cheaper and will hold up better over time vs. the rubber flaps inside.

If you need further info, please contact J3. They made some additional changes to the flaps and inlets as well.

Has anyone out there installed this or been on a track with it yet?

Chads996

Yes. My prototype is on my car. I had the car at Roebling Road a week later. All great, no issues with oil whatsoever.
