Oil starvation prevention mods?
Oil starvation prevention mods? hey whats up, my ls1 is a 99 im looking into doing some modifications that just aid in reliability of my oiling system.
going dry sump looks to be 2500 or so, and thats to pricey for me, i would rather spin a few bearings than that
one option i did see is accusump, looks to be about 350 bucks for a whole set up
anyone else have any other ideas? the car is built for drifting so it is going to experience some high speed cornering just wanting a little AFFORDABLE security, btw if somone knows a more cost effective way to go dry sump i would lol.

A windage tray or crank scraper in the oil pan would be a good plan. Don't know who offers such an item, but if you search around a bit, I'm sure it has been covered at some point or another.
have any of you guys had any experience hacking up the stock pan, cutting out the sump area pretty much, then welding on some AN fittings to make a dry sump pan? and then just runnig an ARE scavenge pump?
My brother is a tig welder by profession so he could weld up a pan for me if you guys think thats a good option, still kicking ideas around right now

awesome guys thanks all great ideas, im going to combine all of them as well as run a 3 quart accusump im thinking that will definently get the job done.
alot of guys are saying accusmps have saved the motors and thats a good thing to hear.
