2009 Porsche 911 Engine Oil Sump Test Rig

@Ruckerjd01283

You need such extreme angles to replicate the g-forces, in this case the g-forces experienced during a lap of the Nurburgring. Under hard braking, the oil is pushed forward, so how do you replecate that in a lab? You have to tilt the engine forward. Whats so hard to understand?

forget it was "taking the piss" fs

thats it ! everyone outta my way, im latchin on to that fucker to see if i can hang on for 8 seconds.

g forces of what a ww2 aircraft

g-force= gravity force, that the force that pulls you to the ground. for example: in an average corner in the nurburgring the lateral g-force is about 3 g's, meaning that there is a force of similar to gravity that is pulling you to the outer side of the corner that is as strong as 3 the strength of gravity, meaning that you'd weight 3 times more. it's complicated to tell it to someone who isn't familiar with the term so i suggest you google some more info.

ok i no what g force is! i have known for ages what i am saying is the g this is surposed to create more than what a ww2 fighter would encounter??? the way that rig is throwing the engine about i'd asume there workin out g forces for people who flip cars not normal driving ie where all the wheels stay on the ground

no i think this rig just is the best method there is right now to test the engine's performance when it's under SOME g force stress. i mean they could put it into a centrifuge and have it rotated there and whatnot but not even f1 people do that. in my view, it's just a rig to see if the oil is getting delivered correctly, and if the sensors work propperly, and the overall balance of the engine parts such as pistons and the crank. ect

@DisposableWarrior Wrong. The Cayenne V8 is a conventional wet sump.
