The increasing popularity of track days and other such events coupled with the search for ever higher bhp figures has highlighted some alarming shortfalls in the standard sump fitted to the Impreza from the factory.

As most are aware the sump pan carries out a vital role in any engine collecting and storing the engine oil before being distributed around the engine lubricating and cooling as it goes. Shortfalls in the standard sump arise when the cars are used on track where oil surge when hard cornering soon becomes a major problem. In simple terms oil surge is a result of the lateral forces being exerted on the oil pushing it to one side within the sump pan. The central positioning of the Imprezas oil pick up pipe can mean that under these conditions the pick up pipe can become starved of oil often resulting in a major engine failure as the engine loses oil pressure placing extreme pressure on the bottom end components.

Starting life as a genuine Subaru oil pan to ensure perfect fitment the baffled sump is then re engineered removing much of the relatively ineffective standard internal shelving system and is then re manufactured to accept our specially designed removable Group N alloy baffle insert. This insert incorporates x4 heat and oil resistant nitrile one way valve flaps to keep the oil exactly where it needs to be even under hard cornering on track or during competition use. The baffled sump kit also features an additional -8 boss for easy plumbing in of a return to sump hose from an oil catch tank system. Supplied with full installation instructions , x14 genuine Subaru sump bolts and titanium magnetic sump plugs all pre-lock wired and ready to go!
