DE baffled oil pan?
One of the guys in here looking to track their de. Not interested in moving to an hr right now and I'm looking for baffling and better oil capacity. All I'm finding right now is a greddy and stillen pan. Not interested in the stillen as it has no baffling but does anybody know where I can get a pan with actual proper baffling that isnt just the tiny walls in the greddy for a de? Or if somebody here has one for sale I'd be willing to buy one

I have but I really want something baffled like the old arc, ams, and og greddy pans. They used to make good de pans with real baffles but it's impossible to find some now

The DE doesn't have the same oil return problems as like say a Cayman engine which is notorious for that. there is a split oil pan system in the DE engine that means you really don't need baffling for high g oil pickup. an upper oil pan, and a lower. The upper handles oil return out of the heads, etc. this is probably why there isn't much of a market for a baffled oil pin.

A 1-in spacer makes a huge difference with an extra quart of capacity. If you have an engine oil cooler also, there's room for probably another whole quart in the system. with the cooler, you're looking at 7Q. I noticed an improvement back in May after installing the 1-in spacer, and doing 2 hours of open track with hardly a break, no problems at all. whereas, previously with the stock pan at Sonoma, I could literally hear the pickup sucking air and losing oil pressure on high speed turns. and yeah, that's a scary sound, I left the track immediately.

It’s not the smartest but you can run two spacers and it does sit right below the bottom of the subframe plane.
