2009 Porsche 911 Engine Oil Sump Test Rig
www.edmunds.com Test: 2009 Porsche 911 Engine Oil Sump Test Rig Location: Porsche Research and Development Center, Weissach, Germany. The 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S mark the debut of Porsche’s latest flat-six engine architecture. During the development of its next-generation of engines, Porsche created a test rig to evaluate oiling system enhancements. This rig replicates the g-forces experienced by a 911 on the Nurburgring Nordschliefe circuit.
what an ingenious testing tool..awesome.
ai é bagual!!!!
@th1alb
the most legendary racing circuit, also called “the green hell”
@Toiger654 lol ride the bull!
@Ruckerjd01283
they should strap a chair to it so we can ride it…
This is why you buy a Porsche.
@th1alb A test track(race track) in Germany
thats fuckin cool.
@th1alb if you like cars you should know what is nordschliefe
GOTH SOUND¡¡¡¡
@nannygoat415 A 45 degree angle equals 1G. So, they can create more than 1G by turning it farther than 45 degrees. It’s a very impressive test and extremely impressive to see just how dramatic the forces are on the motor. It’s no wonder engines not designed for racing have oil control problems.
What’s the Nordschliefe?
sweet Good, what a sound
@internationalfarmer after thinking about I came to dissagree with what I originally wanted to say. when its straight over and stationary its exactly 1G (cause gravity is pulling it down) but when which ever side is moving up it would experience 1G plus whatever the rotational force of rotating the engine up. 1+g’s
Alter die ziehn den da abba auch hoch ey
By “hardly any g force” do you mean REPLICATING THE NURBURGRING’s g forces?
By turning the engine over, you exert 1g +/- a few fractions of a g. Pretty darn similar to what happens when you slam on the brakes…
Porsche 997 uses dry sump dude.
The video is superb, but these comments are so funny I had tears rollin down my face!
@BorkCubed Well that sux… Ya, I was under the impression that the 997’s were dry sump.
All Porsche engines used to use dry sump…
The 996 and 997 has a wetsump oil system except for the GT2 and GT3 versions. Do a Google search on “996 wet sump” and find out more…
The 996/997 (non GT2/GT3) motors are no longer dry sump. They do have better then average oil control but they have gone to a more of a mass market car.
I doubt that you will see any number of the wetsump cars go past 200k miles without a rebuild where it is common in the older SC anf Carrera models…
The purpose of this test is to demonstrate the advantages of a dry sump lubrication system. A normal wet sump engine would probably fail this test. Most high performance engines these days have this kind of system. It’s purpose is to keep oil evenly distributed throughout the engine during extreme acceleration, braking and cornering. I’m pretty sure it costs more to manufacture than a conventional wet sump, that’s why you don’t see it in all cars.
lovely…
@quellkoerper
Yeah my k20 would blow up as soon as it turned on it’s side
honda is cool, but their oil sumps are definitely no porsche
