"Just wanted to say how well your Honda H22 scraper works. Immediately I noticed more steady oil pressure, even with using an accusump. Last Sunday we had a race and the oil cooler developed a leak. We ended the race at just over 50% of oil normal oil level, but the pressure was still “good enough.” Without the scraper it most certainly would have dropped too low. I recommend it to all my Prelude racer friends."

New dyno feedback from a tuner in Russia on the Teflon scraper by itself installed in a Toyota 3S-GTE: 

"Dyno test shown the gain of 1.9% hps, the increase displays in the diapasonum [interval or range] from 4430 to 8200 rpm."  "Also I see the more consequent oil supply in the head - my pressure sensors in the oil channels of the cylinder head now shows 2.2 bars instead of of 1.9 before while engine works at the mid-range.  [31.9 psi from 27.6 psi]"

Hello Kevin,

I need another of your excellent scraper kits (Teflon) for our latest 928 race car which will be fitted with a 5.0 GT motor.

BTW this will be kit number 5 I think and we have not had a single (oil related) failure on any since fitting your scrapers, we also use minimal oil!  This is also using the factory breather system without any catch tank and on my own race car max revs is set at 7500 rpm which I use all of!

Nissan VQ37VHR

We have received feedback and dyno testing indicated that the combined system below significantly improved the output of the stock engine from 4400 rpm and peaking over 3.5% at 7500 rpm.

Record run at New England Dragway 7/23/11
13.08 ET at 99.19 MPH. It was HOT!!! 99.6 F on record run at 4 PM

The above SBC Teflon® bladed pattern was made after a plastic template was sent to the customer, adjusted and then returned to us.

"Got my scraper today, fits better than I could have imagined.  Thanks for taking the time to make it perfect."

Hello,

I thought you might like to hear of our latest success.  On April 25^th 2010 in Moses Lake, WA we set a new world speed record for a 1 ¼ mile course with our 2.3 Ford powered APBA Hydroplane using your triple Teflon scraper.  The old record had stood for over 10 years!

 Thank you for all your help!

Subject: Windage System for SRT-4

I felt it appropriate to share my initial results after installing your Windage System for the SRT-4.
Unfortunately, I am not a lab, and it was not the only change made. However, the other changes should have had little difference on performance. I put in a new set of plugs and wires, though there was no indication of a problem with spark, and could not tell any noticeable difference in the car from doing so. I also replaced the 3" Mandrel bent exhaust with a similar 3" Mandrel bent exhaust, which removed the muffler. (This could have gained 5-7 hp). The only other real change made, was to put your windage system into a car that already had the balance shafts removed. We carried it to a 1/8 mile track. The previous trap speeds on the car were 87.45 mph in the 1/8. The new trap speed was 92.95, or about 40-45 hp of increase. Let's just say, I'd have been very happy with half that improvement, especially for the money spent. I'd recommend that system for anyone who wants to make power from their SRT-4!

This is what I know about crank scrapers:
 

Don't install an oil pressure gauge if you aren't planning to also install a crank scraper.
 

 

The factory oil pressure warning light is set to come on at around 7-8psi.  Your warning light probably never illuminates while driving. 

Once I installed an oil pressure gauge, I found that in the fast left hand corners (like T3 at Roebling) the car was dropping from 50PSI to around 16.  Not good.  Especially at 5000+ RPM.  Even running a quart over full didn't help.  Talk about too much information!

We installed one of the crank scrapers over the winter, and now the car holds full pressure everywhere on track.

Daniel Scott, owner of a 1996 Dodge Stratus with 206,000 miles on it installed our dual scraper for the 2.4 designed to work with engines with the balance shafts left in place. [Note: the system mentioned later on this page that was dyno tested for the 2.4 is used when the balance shafts are removed.]  Daniel removed the pan and saw that an OEM gasket scraper from Dodge was already in place.  He removed this and installed our dual scraper which has far more coverage and dual acceleration trap doors:

He wrote and said, "the crank scraper was the best mod for the 2.4 engine. There is a major and noticeable difference in mid range and high rpm. A must for any stratus owner looking to make a lot of power for a nice price; easy installation and a great hand crafted piece."

Again, it is worth noting that this change alone showed a major power difference on an engine with 206,000 miles on it.

Dodge 2.4 NA P.T. Cruiser Engine -- balance shafts removed

Dodge 2.4 NA P.T. Cruiser Engine -- balance shafts removed and Ishihara-Johnson standard steel crank scraper and dual windage tray setup with baffles and trap doors installed.

Below: Steve Lockett runs the 2.4 windage tray setup in his 9.7 sec 160 mph Neon

"... I added a custom crank scraper fitted specifically to my crank/rod setup (I made the template and Kevin Johnson at crank-scrapers.com made one to my template) the DL1 data showed a 3-5 hp improvement at the wheels and 2-3 mph gain on the top end at Road Atlanta's back straight, with no other changes. And that was with WORSE air conditions (ambient temperature was higher, humidity was higher, and density was lower) when I went back to Road Atlanta after fitting the scraper. (March national vs. June national). This is on a full prep G-Production 1.5L Scirocco, making about 120 WHP at the time.

"I'm convinced.  If my competitors are dubious and not convinced, that's even better! I wish I had known about them when I raced ITC!"

[Our VW scrapers for the Scirocco are now improved dual patterns which work on both the up and downstroke of the engine...]

Mike Miller (owner #66 above) writes on the NicoClub.com forums:

... I have two engines that currently have a crank scraper/windage tray.
1. Nissan L-16 and 2. KA24e truck block.
The engine I am running now is the L-16, and it is series champion in 2005 for this size of engine.
To make a long story short, scraper(s) work ! Note: I only have a scraper on this engine.
Why ? The engine ran previously without one and then installed.
It's application is asphalt and dirt racing midget. We have a registering tach, with memory push button. Obviously, there are many, many conditions that would affect the performance of an engine, but, on a consistence base, we GAINED approximately two ways, rpm and quicker.
Rpm- we gained approximately 100 to 200 rpm, in turn this got us right at the rpm needed for the cam to do its work (right at the "sweet" part of the cam) thus, the torque and horsepower is getting out of the engine and to the rear wheels, in turn, quicker (hp) and torque to get out of the corners.
Plus, as others spoke about, keeping the oil where it should be, in the sump where it should be for when it is not being used. ...
