Windage tray

joespanova · 03-11-2016, 10:48 PM

In my Moroso older Ultimate 2 pan it came with a diamond stripper and that's what I still use........and its easy to imagine why it would work , better than a tray. The Ultimate 2 pan has a full kickout and seriously altered sump......uses tubes through sump to pan rail.
Funny thing is , when I was talking to a "good guy" at Moroso 2 weeks ago , he wanted to sell me a newer pan , one that uses a TRAY........the pan looked much simpler than the pan I have. He told me the newer pan was worth 15 HP..........I didn't buy it . The pan he suggested is below. This pan looks much cheaper to produce than what I have now ( Ultimate 2).

I use that Moroso pan as well, with that tray tossed under a work bench.

For what it's worth I called Milodon a while back and asked the difference between the screen and the tray type. Their tech preferred the tray and didn't recommend the screen.

Hamburger Pans, and I bet Stef's Pans sells pieces of expanded metal screen so you can make your own windage screen . What was interesting is this expanded metal was directional , and acted like thousands of louvers. If you sprayed water at a piece of it in the "wrong direction" the water would bounce back at you. Spray water in the "correct direction" and 99% of the water would pass right through .

Water is wrong thing to use when testing oil pans, and windage trays only thing it is good for is testing volume oil clings. In wet sump systems it is VERY HARD to get atray that works better than No tray. Worry about a well fiting scraper and large well baffled box with kick out on passengers side and a good pickup that works and doesn't suck a hole in the oil.To test pick up you must use your actual oil.
