oil pressure @ tight turns
At full a full lock turn at almost 20 mph I got the oil pressure light to come on 
for a second while I was breaking in my lsd in a parking lot (might have been going a little too fast). I was wondering if anyone knows how to remedy this for racing purposes. I might do a little SCSA stuff when my car is more complete. And I know there are some tight turns with that stuff

Would that be the Yellow one with the oil symbol and little wavy lines on the bottom of it or would that be the Red light with the wavy lines on the bottom? 
Ive had this happen to me too and have had the Yellow one light up on me.

Someone mentioned to me that some supra owners that autocross used a jdm oil pan or found a semi-easy way to modify the oil pan with "[columns]" like a honey comb filter so the oil all doesn't get pushed to one side of the pan during turns, thus starving the engine of oil. If anyone knows anything more about this, please share with us since I would also like to know

Okay I found it! Apparently they modify oil pans by adding a "Baffle System" to the oil pan that prevents all the oil from being pushed to one side of the pan, and starving your components of oil = kaboom . I found a local performance shop that does this to all the honda cars with added turbos. I guess searching about "Baffle Systems" for oil pans is where to start. I hope this helps!

Apparently both 2JZ-GE and 2JZ-GTE oil pans have the Baffle, so perhaps there is another reason for your loss of oil pressure .

If there are two lights one should be level, and one should be pressure. Im trying to figure this out cause my yellow light with the wave on the bottom keeps lighting up after my car has been running for a few minutes.. Could someone look in there manual to see what it says this, thanks. -Brett
