F17BAD G3 GTI. S3 TURBO

[Sam]

Bill at badger mentioned oil starvation with shallow sumps on my engine
It's not a option for me at all and iv never seen a
Shallow one with the sensors 

Link me up?

Anyhow I can get the INA one baffled it's cost £300 quid!

I get my modified sump back in the morning so I'll see how this fairs before I do anything else.

LSD is next
Then BIGger turbo in new year

Cant you simply instell sensor holes/brackets/however they work on a shallow sump?

[F17BAD]

I'll have a look when I get in for you. As I looked into it before as I thought my engine was scraping, only to find out it was the plate under the cat luckily.

Take it you will be upgrading the internals as well, get the 2.0 stroker kit if you are doing so, it is a bit of money but the added capacity will aid in turbo spoil plus you will be upsetting mk5 owners with a 2.0 20vT engine. Its a popular kit amongst the audi 1.8T boys.

mate the car upsets Mk5 owners at present, as we found out the other week Versus the Mk5 with new S3 engine and apparently  350HP
Normal Mk5 GTIs/ ED30s are nothing to worry about at all

will look into that tho, sounds good

@Wolverline - that sounds really good but I'm not looking to spend millions haha, i know it seems as tho i have etc but i never intended to go this far.. basically want this car to be a showcase for what me and ben can offer to people as a package..

[Sam]

If your car is a showcase, surely you should show people that you can convert to run a dry sump? Rather than showcasing that you can stick some metal to a deep sump to prolong the time before it breaks/gets twitted hard

i don't want a dry sump...or a shallow sump

why can't people just accept this lol

Because behind every successful person are a bunch of good advisors

i had a quick look around about the Dry sump kit.. nice yeah but £2500 and nothing specific for the S3 engine..

plus its for race cars. so the only benefit for me is the ride height..  but i can buy a hell of a lot of modified sumps for £2500 + LOl

What about a dry and shallow sump?

Well this is your personal car so you can do whatever suits you, however, as far as showcasing goes I suppose you'll just have to point out that for a mk3 at least there is clearly a limit as to how low it can go before it runs into trouble.

[golf-sib]

mk3's don't have much room from floor to bonnet, look at the inside of the bonnet on a mk3, they have holes around where he suspension goes as its pretty close to the bonnet. Whilst on a mk4 you could fit a kitchen in between the bonnet and the suspension mount.

I swear g-werks made a sump with an oil sensor as its the only shallow sump left in my bookmarks, they stocked a few different variation, but it looks like g-werks is now out of business  Didn't VW make a shallow sump for brazilian or south african market? Alternatively your mate with the welding that did you pipes could make a oil sensor connection somehow, incase you are ever worried of smacking your sump again and it all leaking out without knowing 

[F17BAD]

Seat made a sport version for the Bam / AMK lump, these are as far as i know hard to find now. but were a shallower type and possibly stronger ? although can't remember

My ultimate choice would be the INA sump i mentioned before, but if i can make something similar id be happy.. it is a test and if this does not work we will have to look at the INA one

the caddy I'm working on is even worse.. sump is almost sat on floor with no lowering !!! and iv used special engine mounts the raise engine 9had to cut some supports off the underside of the bonnet!   this sumps also going to have to be modified

[SoundillusioN]

Remind me, what unit are you putting in the caddy?
