Default Sikky Manufacturing CNC Machine Fun
What's going on guys? We recently decided to have a little fun with our newest CNC machine and put together a billet aluminum oil pan for the ISF Check out the pics below! Anybody interested in a setup like this?

That's amazing looking. Wonder how well it works at keeping the oil cool? It has fins where the stock one doesn't and it looks considerably thicker.

Cost estimation?

Any testing on that windage tray? What's the capacity? Looks like a real nice piece.

Looks good but damn that started as a big chunk of aluminum added oil capacity is certainly a plus on this car.

I can not imagine dumping even more than 10 quarts into this thing every oil change.

You would if it meant saving your motor on the track

are you running out of oil on the track?
If the oil pump pickup is at the same position then a larger oil pan could just be worse with more lateral acceleration.

We run out of oil cooling capacity, then engine cooling capacity. The windage gates will contain the oil at the pickup, or should. All in testing. The more working fluid the better.
