Whats the best way to add baffling and extra volume to the sump to ensure no surging while cornering at high speeds?
anyone got some pics of a modded 4a series sump been modded?

To increase volume I like to add wings to the side of the sump, using the original pan sides and louvering them before adding the wings. The increase in surface area of the sump that it exposed to the moving air does wonders for keeping oil temps in check (I have not done this to a 4A yet). The wings should also be made to enhance oil flow towards the pick up.
I also suggest that the wings should not be made too high (tall), but more or less just above the oil level, when engine is running.
The 4A GE has one of the best factory windage trays that I have personally seen, I therefore see little to be gained in that area.
I am not a fan of the fancy baffles that one sees on occasion (trap doors etc.)

I will see if I can email you some pics. I use 1.2mm zinc anneal sheet.
Where abouts are you? I'm in the vicinity of Sydney.
