As some of you may or may not know we have been working on a dry sump and wet sump system here at the shop for quite some time. We have some prototype units being used in the field for testing but we wanted to bring to light some info on specifically the AMS WET SUMP OIL PAN.

Some of the unfortunate few know all to well the result of running an EVO in a high speed/high G turn. I have personally been witness the demise of several motors this way. Quite simply the oil pickup is situated in a way that it becomes very difficult to pull any oil into engine because its all being tossed to the other side of the pan. A simple backyard fix has been to run a bit more oil but even that is not guaranteed to work. These were the premises for AMS creating our Dry Sump system and wet sump system.

The wet Sump system is pretty wild and for most people will solve this daunting issue. Each pan is hand fabricated and will incorporate a front kickout along with a trap door to help keep oil where it needs to be in high G scenarios. Along with this we were able to make the pan 3/4 inch deeper and allow for 1.5 more quarts of OIL!! if that wasn't enough its all made to work with the factory oil return line setup.

This isn't just for road racers either. The fact that the pan can carry 1.5 more quarts of oil would be crucial for the drag racer looking to keep oil temps down and ensure proper oil flow.

Now this is in the construction phase but we thought it would be nice to show off a drawing we have worked up of the pan:

Let us know what you think

Awesome!!!!

 

id be in for one!

 

that thing looks really cool Eric that kit should be bad a$$

 

Complete bolt-in? No hacking up crap? I'm so in for this...

Any rough idea on pricing?

Design the pan with several attributes:

(1) Addresses lateral G starvation issues as you indicated
(2) Improves launch/braking starvation issues via inclusion of a simple baffle (is that what I see in red?)
(3) Ease of installation

If you do that, you can put me down for one. I'd say there's a better chance of you being able to do this than there is for Precision to make a twinscroll T4 for the 850R.

 

nothing just yet but I might have something for you later in the week.

This would be a complete bolt in pan.

You got it Ted, we got you covered. Now there is only so much you can do with a pan and some of the hard core track cars out there are going to want to look into our dry sump system not only for the oil distribution attributes but also for its efficiency.

Truth is most people will never bring their evo to that level and this wet sump pan fits the bill just perfect.

Hmm looks like what i did to my pan but a little better

 

im definately in for one also

 

This is awesome!

I have one question, will the pan be only deeper with the same width as the stock one?

You probably know alot of downpipes are very close to the oil pan.

 

I have had the Moroso for the 6Bolt for 3 going on 4 years now. I would say its not only functional but looks bad a$$ on the car too.

Glad to see some one step up for the newer pan!

 

Awesome! Put me down for one.

 

where was this a month ago


guess i gotta pull the pan again :/

 

yummy!
