im considering building a locost 7 (but with better aerodynamics) and i want to throw a busa motor on a RR layout...

to make things clear i want to put the engine behind the passenger seat, a chain down the center and a stunt (65 tooth sprocket) on a chain differential.

it has come to my attention that the motor will sustain lateral G's while in long fast turns... and this has the potential of throwing oil outta the pan,
suggestions have been a swivel oil pan that cost $600ish
or
a dry sump set up $2000

any other suggestions



also:
im a ex-motox guy and i know a lot about the 2stroke engines, but these engine baffel me with the advances in technology. is their any refence sites that i can get ahold of info on the engine so i can understand exactly how the engine opperates and all the fancy computers and sensors control?

It should cost almost nothing to have a local welder weld some baffles in the oil pan to prevent sloshing.

apart from the oil pan, what is the best (cheapest/reliable) way to get the most hp and torque out of a stock engine...

i'm thinking
new heads?
new exhaust headers (ill build those to suite the car...)
chain and sprocket, which is best on a stunt 65tooth set up?
cam?

anything else that is relitivley cheap but also needs to be reliable?
anything is appreiated


also i think ill start the build around the last month of school. so in the summer ill let u guys know if i begin the build
