JBR Baffle: Under heavy braking, hard acceleration, extreme cornering or long sweeping corners the engine oil moves up the sides of the oil pan causing oil starvation! Our easy to install oil pan baffle kit keeps the oil near the pick-up and therefore reduces oil starvation.
Sure Motorsports BSD: By removing the OE balance shaft, the engine has less rotational mass on the crankshaft. This allows the engine to rev quicker and easier. During our evaluation, there were no vibrations felt during idle, cruising, or wide open throttle conditions. Faint vibrations occurred only during partial throttle acceleration.
So there's ton of documentation on this mod so I did not go crazy with the pics and vids. Get a shop manual for your model and follow it for oil pan removal and reinstall. Also JBR has a great install pdf for their baffle kit. Here are some pics and a short video......Well looks like my video wont upload. So ive got everything back on, no just waiting for the RTV to cure.
First pic is stock oil pan.
I decided to prime and paint the pan since it was off :)

ReplyDeleteSo I waited the 24 hours for the RTV to cure. Refilled the oil. It took 6.7-6.8 qts. Took the car for a short test drive. Very low boost, went really easy. I did not notice any vibrations at idle and during driving also could not notice any additional vibs. Checked for leaks once I got back. Thought I might have a very small one, but it looked like old oil. Put a pan under the car to see if I get any drips. All in all so far so good.
