Cheap e36 M3 evo

Recommended Posts

Dry sump is probably the only way to go.. ask Alex from Carspot. About $10k for the kit I'm told. Guys in the South are using a special ELF 15w40 oil in their S50's. It's a very high Zinc grade oil.. can find out the part code tomorrow. I have supplied it before.

Didn't the 2nd pickup on the evo engine (s50b32) fix the oil problem?

From what i've heard, wouldn't waste money on dry sump.

I use an accumulator in my car, holds 8 to 10 secs of oil pressure, never have any problems with starvation now. Got it from Cardwells, around $1000 all fitted with hoses for remote oil filter etc.

The s50b32 still has the issue unfortunately. Its only really a problem with slicks and getting into the conditions I stated above.

Fixes are:

* Windge tray and baffled / gated sump. Wing the sump for more oil.

* Accusump as stated by David. I would run a EPC on a road car to control it as the risk of forgetting to switch it on is too great.

* Dry sump

* s54 sump and oil pickup system.

* For the e30 guys, m50 5 series sump and larger 5 series pickup.

Well S54 setup is still do-able for me....
