Oil pressure drop on corner exit
Was out testing on the weekend and noticed that my oil pressure drops from normal 7ish bar pressure to 2 bar after really high g corners for a split second and then comes back to regular operating pressure.
I'm running the racing beat pan baffle, oil was not low.
Should I be worried about this? Is anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks,
Andrew.

Love when the piston guys chime in!
Obviously, even with the baffle plate you're uncovering the pickup. Only way to explain pressure drop that only happens during cornering. Accusump may help but it's a bandaid IMO.
Got specifics on the car? Dual purpose, track day, purpose built to a rule set? The baffle plate usually works well enough for most racing applications. The best solution would be a dry sump, but it's big money to throw at dual purpose car and not legal for many racing classes.

I'm wondering if the split second drop is much to worry about. I'm going to try over filling the oil a touch at the next event and see what happens, other than that I'm going to have to do something with the oil pickup/pan.

I think I'm going to drop the pan this week and fabricate a trap door baffle system around the oil pickup in the pan. Similar to this:
