Windage tray

Has anyone ever bought/made/installed a windage tray or crank scraper in a 4g69? Or do we already have one? I've never dropped the oil pan on this engine to look.

mitsuorder used one from Tomei made for a 4G63 on his 799awhp 4g69. He said he ordered it from Touge Factory. Im searching for it on their website now. I will update with a link as soon as I find it.



EDIT:: Well I found the product: Tome Slicing Baffle. However I havent found a place to order it, just yet...

Much appreciated, Bakuro! Please let me know what else you can find.

I just emailed this company to ask if they have something for the 4g69, I'll share any info I get: http://www.crank-scrapers.com/index.html

The one in the picture is actually for the 4g63. But it clears the crankshaft properly according to mitsuorder. So its likely that most any scraper made for a 4g63 will work.

Great, Bakuro. I'm in a back-and-forth with crank-scrapers, just waiting for something. I'll let you know if they corroborate your information.

For many cars it appears to be free horsepower and oil cooling for relatively little $. I want to see what it does for the RA. Since my mods don't come within a billion miles of Mitsuorder's, I should be able to quantify any difference.

Related to this, my engine was noticably more free-revving and oil temps did go down when I switched from Castrol GTX to the synthetic Castrol Edge (with titanium ). This is because of less friction, so if a scraper/windage device can have a similar friction reduction effect it'll be totally worth it for this stock engine where every little bit counts.

edit: a 4g63 engine build that shows fitting of the Cosworth crank scraper that lots of vendors sell (about 1/2 way down first page): http://highboostforum.com/forum/show...of-a-Race-4g63

okay, I guess I'm done with this for now, got what I wanted to know. It looks like there isn't a crank scraper specifically designed for a 4g69 so I will help a manufacturer make it happen. As for a windage tray they will address it afterwards themselves. I will share here when something is finished and available.
