Toda Racing ‘Anti G’ baffled sump for FN2

Leading Japanese tuning house TODA Racing is pleased to announce the launch of an ‘Anti-G’ sump for the 198bhp K20AZ3 I-VTEC engine as used in the FN2 Honda Civic Type R hot hatch.

The Honda Civic Type R has always been a popular choice as a track day and race car, but circuit use can cause serious and potentially damaging engine lubrication issues.

This is because the combination of high speeds and long corners experienced during track sessions place high ‘G’ loadings on the FN2, causing the engine oil to ‘surge’ to one area of the K20AZ3’s sump.

Unfortunately this surge can result in areas of the bottom end of the K20Z engine with excessive levels of oil, while others are starved of lubrication as oil pressure falls. Ultimately, this can cause air to be drawn into the K20AZ3’s oil system through cavitation, potentially leading to expensive damage.

TODA’s Anti G sump has been designed to eliminate the risk of high speed circuit use, to ensure consistent and reliable lubrication at high ‘G’ loadings.

Key technical features of the TODA Racing Civic Type R FN2 Anti G sump are:-

Specially designed integral baffle which eliminates oil surge
Removable main baffle plate to enable easy and swift cleaning of foreign objects during overhauls
Additional oil service hole for use with oil temperature sensor
Retains use of original Honda oil level sensor
TODA Racing logo engraved on sump body for easy identification

Carrying part number 11200-K20-N01, the TODA Racing Honda Civic Type R FN2 Anti G sump is available now through sole distributor TODA Europe, a division of Torque Developments International Plc, priced at £552.00 including VAT @ 15%.

TODA Racing also supplies similar Anti G sumps for the EP3 and FD2 variants of Honda Civic Type R, plus the AP1 model of the S2000 roadster.
