Oil starvation with r tires?

[patrik]

Hello,

 

im going to do alot of tracking with my new buy.

 

has any of you guys that have done trackdays had any issues with oilstarvation when using roadtires or r tires?

 

(do i need to adress this or is it just so well built that its not an issue).

Oil starvation with tyres??

 

Oh wait, do you mean due to grip levels, can't say I've heard of many people having that as an issue before.

I know Terminator has a modified sump - extra internal baffles and a modified oil pick-up - probably necessary. At most power levels you will run out of grip before oil starvation.

Not heard of this being a prob on the MKIV, even on motors setup for track use.

I run full slicks on my dry trackdays and have done for over 4 years with no oil issues, you may notice a slight pressure drop under heavy braking but again nothing to upset the 2jz.

thank you for your quick replys and i think i will just let the sump be for the time being then :-)

 

i will not be using slicks soo i will never come up to those g forces.

And if the supra works with those im home free.

Should be totaly fine mate. Digsy pointed out a while ago that most car sumps, including ones you wouldnt think would have such a problem are tested to handle 1.0g cornering and about 0.5 acceleration G.

 

I think you would only run into problems with cornering forces similiar to full on race car levels of grip but i highly doubt a supra could ever replicate such forces.
