Miata 1.8 BP and Mazdaspeed Engine oil pan baffles
Engine oil baffle plates for the Mazda Miata BP 1.8 and Mazdaspeed engines. T304 Stainless steel, CAD designed and laser cut. Simple direct drop-in pieces. Eliminates oil starvation during acceleration, braking and turning. Ideal for track guys with turbos, Wilwood's and meaty tires but cheap insurance for street cars as well.
I had 3 made for my own personal cars and a few extras because I figured I cannot be the only one who wanted one of these. I can also have more made if the demand is greater.
I am not a business but if this is a breach of the FS rules please let me know so I can change/update.
Here is a quick installed photo in my spare Mazdaspeed pan. Only real differences are a few rib changes and the oil separator drain tube. Will get some better pictures as soon as I can.

Are there any problem between T304 Stainless steel and Aluminum?
Honestly not sure what youre referring to. Factory plate is just mild steel and this get sandwiched between that and the aluminum pan with stock bolts. No welding required.

I think stainless steel reacts with aluminum and causes corrosion.

<br /><br />Nope no issues. Factory plate is mild steel as well as the bolts. Steel is worse for corrosion with aluminum than 304 is and no one seems to have ever had an issue. Plus, both are covered in oil at all times so that would eliminate any corrosion.
just FYI, I think the baffle will work far better if there is next to no gap around the sides, especially at the front of the baffle. When the oil is at temp it actually flows fairly well so under sustained braking you need it to stop the oil from flowing out of the pan to the front of the sump. If there is a gap on either side you'll lose lots of oil from the pan in a few seconds of braking.
This is mine... it was cut by hand but made for a sung fit. I have datalogged this under brakes and it does prevent oil starvation under sustained high G braking.
