If you are in need of a dry sump system we suggest you contact Armstrong Race Engineering.  They provide top quality components and many times our scrapers can be used in combination with their pans.

They make top quality parts.

Baffles for the A-series type oil front sump pan.  There is a replacement baffle for the sump but with trap doors.  The one in the pan measured had two attachment points that were cracked and broken.  The replacement is made from heavier gauge steel.  Also included is an anti-surge baffle with a trap door leading to the rear of the pan.  Both of these baffles are to be welded or brazed into place.  $99.95

NEW! 

Internal baffles and incorporated crank scraper for Nissan SR20DE, SR20DET, SR20VE, SR20VET, SR16VE.  These new parts are backwards compatible with our crank scrapers and windage trays for the SR20 that sit nestled in the girdle (see next product description in this section).  The versions for the SR16VE and SR20VE and SR20VET will look slightly different due to the absence of a girdle and the partially counterweighted crank.  There is another point of variance and that is if your block is of the narrow or wide form.  The narrow form has both pan rails close to the girdle whereas the wide form (pictured below) has one pan rail that is substantially further away.

The baffles above serve to direct draining oil from the head away from the rotating assembly and to more smoothly guide windage past the girdle arms.  There is a crank scraper for the rod area incorporated into the baffle.  On wide blocks there is another scraper present on the mounting frame.  This scraper can be made into a Teflon® version if so desired.  Baffle assembly $249.95; add $100 for Teflon® if you have a wide block.

To determine if you have a wide or narrow block is very easy:

SR20   NEW!  Please be sure to read the last section -- there are now scrapers and windage trays available for the SR20 with complete coverage for the fourth piston bay.  The SR20 design we make is actually a two-layer combination crank scraper and windage tray.  Both layers nestle within the existing main bearing girdle and attach to the existing mounting points for louvered pan baffles.  The layer closest to the rotating assembly has two scraper louvers for each of the first three piston bays.  They are chisel edged with the second larger louvers being relief cut so that it follows the contour of the factory rods and counterweights (other rods can simply be adjusted for by grinding).  The louvers can be bent down or up to get very close tolerance fits.  The last piston bay has a single louver that is bolted to the scraper.  It is made to be removable so that it can be more easily adjusted.  The lower layer is a windage tray that has offset oval drain ports so that the oil removed by the scraper can be ejected but the stream of oil running underneath the tray to the sump will not be directly in line with the louver openings.  This makes it far more difficult for the ejected and draining oil to be re-entrained into the windage cloud.  This tray also allows that layer of draining oil (that allowed by the original cast sump floor) to be even more isolated from the rotating assembly.  This is a continuation of the design philosophy seen in the SR20 which already has extensive windage control features.  The new windage tray also slopes in the same manner as the sump floor it shields.

The SR20 already has a louvered plate that covers the forward two piston bays so why is the scraper and windage tray offered here an improvement?  First, the chiseled scraper louvers in the first three bays approach the rotating assembly much more closely and exactly.  Second, the fourth piston bay is highly obstructed by a cylindrical indentation in the stock sump -- despite this a scraper louver is included forward of that inward facing bulge.  So now all four bays have active windage control.  Third, the incorporated windage tray further isolates the entrained oil that is skimmed from the windage cloud as well as the draining oil from other areas of the engine that passes along the floor of the sump.  In the stock engine this skimmed and draining oil is still exposed to the rotating assembly.

The lower scraper tray alone is available for $89.95; the combination scraper tray and windage tray is available for $109.95. 

We also have a design for the RWD version of these engines.  Two major differences might help you to identify them: the oil pump pickup attaches to the front edge of the girdle and the indentation in the sump for access to the torque converter bolts is longer (see pics below).  Please be sure to mention if you have this type when you order.

We have also added a version for knife-edged cranks.  Please enquire for more information.

 NEW! The louver openings in the scraper plate are now covered with directional screening.

Pictures of the stock engine setup and then the installed combination scraper and windage tray are below:

NEW!  Now available with complete coverage for the fourth piston bay: scraper louvers and directional screening.  The hump in the pan providing access to torque converter bolts needs to be removed by the owner or a local shop.  A formed piece of aluminum is provided to weld into this area to close the pan.  Obviously this modification is not recommended if you are running an automatic transmission.  Add $35.00

KA24, KA24e, KA24de:  There are dual scrapers available which operate on both the up- and downstroke of the engine.  $74.95

There are also windage trays available for the Ka24, KA24e and KA24de engines. The windage tray is designed to work with the stock pan -- the directional screening panels nest above areas not previously shielded from windage. $169.95

Here is a picture of both the dual scraper and tray for a KA24de installed:

New! As of 11-07, there is an updated KA24DE three piece dual scraper design to make fitment easier while the engine is in the car:

We have made many custom scrapers and trays for these engines.

NEW! L6: L24, L26, L28  -- Now there are dual scrapers for these engines that operate on both the upstroke and downstroke.  Only $74.95

We can do a pattern for the L28 Diesel (stroker) but there is a plastic template charge of $35.  You must fit the template to your particular rotating assembly and then return the pattern to us.  There are Teflon® versions of these scrapers available for the upstroke scraper.

V6: VG30 series

NEW!  Scraper for the QR25DE: $59.95 in steel and $159.95 for a Teflon® bladed version.  We have versions for the earlier partially counterweighted crank and the new fully counterweighted crank.  Will work with or without balance shafts installed.  It is totally compatible with the JWT balance shaft removal kit as well.

Teflon® version with baffle:

Fully counterweighted crank; steel and Teflon® versions:

Teflon® frame installed (baffle with trap door mentioned below is visible):

NEW!  Pan baffle with swinging trap door for the QR25DE.  The key weak spot in the alloy upper sump is the ability of the oil to move out of the sump well and into the shallow end of the pan under sustained hard turns to the right.  This baffle raises the G level that can be sustained in such turns and brings it more into line with the performance of the pan in other maneuvers.  This baffle works with or without the balance shafts and will work with the JWT balance shafts removal kit if about 10 mm is removed from the lower baffle plate edge nearest to it -- this is a very simple modification that will allow the trap door to swing freely.  $59.95    

NOTE: It is very important to check to see if your upper aluminum pan matches the one in the pictures.  The door it fit specifically to the interior of this pan.  Baffles for other sumps are probably possible but you would need to send us the sump (pics first, please).
