This is why I am doing a comprehensive fix for this lubrication situation. All of these conversations are amazing and I am so happy to have it at my disposal. For someone who will be pushing the cars capabilities on track I was afraid of doing a band-aid fix and wanted to do a number things to increase the probability of the engine lasting for a long time.
1. SRD gears - I think Peter said it best, more oil pressure via oil pump gears can't hurt, ever.
2. Baffled oil pan - This is important but needs to be done by a VERY good aluminum welder. I got AAF involved on mine and am very happy with the results.
3. Oil Diverter valve - With the mention of the amount of track use I plan on doing the oil temp is important. For primarily street driven vehicles you'll want to second think this.
4. Accusump- Poor man's drysump. $1000 and you can add 1.5-2qts of oil at any time and also help with precharging the system before cold start (which is a big wear activity on our bearings.)
5. D088 Coolers - This is obviously a must.
6. Bimmerworld physical dipstick kit - I am over waiting for the electronic sensor to do its job and change its mind every 5 minutes.
