VAC Oil Pan Baffle
Is anyone else interested in a VAC N54 oil pan baffle? I'm looking at one because I do a lot of tracking. Maybe if we get enough peeps we can try do a group buy or at least share on shipping.

I think if you were on slicks and doing 62sec or 63sec at wakefield it would be worthwhile other wise don't bother.
The sump / oil pan is not to bad on this engine the pick up sits low in the sump, also the sump design does help to retain oil around the pick up. If you are concerned, add another 500mil of oil or do it correctly and fit a oil accumulator along with twin oil coolers and large radiator. In saying that, it still wouldn't do any harm.

if you guys are really tracking a lot and are running slicks - then oil pan baffles are really worth being installed! i had oil starvation on left hand bends with high lateral g force and the connecting rod bearings (between rods and crankshaft) cranked.
i put oil pan baffles and oil pressure gauge and waiting to the next track season. hope it will help.. if not - then oil accu has to be installed, but there is lack of space to set it.. also a major problem is to cool th n54 engine - additive larger oil cooler doesn't solve the problem - a large water radiator needs to be set instead of the oem one. has anyone already been done with that on everyday car leaving air conditioner on its place?
