Under hard acceleration in a long righthander I have at some moments seen the oilpressure lamp flicker. Clearly this is not ok so before next session I need to adress it.

I know about the lack of scavenge pumps on bank1 (front) and bank2 (rear) so I guess it´s in my case oil pooling in bank2 so the pickup sucks air. Since adding scavenge pumps is very expensive and a bit complicated maybe, I believe my options are:
1) Deep sump
2) Accusump

Since the deep sump is far easier to install than the accusump, this is what I´m leaning at.

So, am I goint in the right direction? I´m looking at the FVD deep sump, are those extra 0.6 litres really enough to make a difference? Any advices from you guys?

I have the FVD pan, It comes with a X-51 style metal baffle & doors. It's a quality part. I run DT-40 oil & don't have any issues

Did you have any issues before?

I feel that 0.6 liters is not very much, is it really enough. 2 liters Mantis looks like it give a bit too much reduction of ground clearance, I get the feeling I´d like somethng like 1 liter. But if 0,6 really works, then the FVD seems like a good choice.

Very brief oil pressure drops on track, but I just drive to the track & run with my street tires.
