I think he meant modified the cylinder head for increased oil return to the sump. We drill the oil return galleries and smooth the oil flow passages with the die grinder. Plus we fit an external oil return from the rear of cylinder head direct to the sump. Add this to the oil restriction (one feed restricted and one blocked off) in the top of the block and you have a good chance of the oil staying in the sump, not being trapped in the cylinder head. Or filling up your catch can.

TIP; If ordering the sump from Performance Metalcraft make sure you specify a fitting for an oil temperature sensor. Plus a fitting for the external oil return hose into the top of the LHS wing.

:P Cheers :D

Gary,

Your wealth of knowledge never ceases to amaze :P

:yes: Cheers ;)

Hi Gary - can you post a pic (or sketch) of how you add the external oil return line?

Cheers

Good looking pan, but why not dry sump ?

I had a JUN baffle & a Trust sump extension, overkill prehaps but I did a serious launch with a 35k engine & ended up with a blown #6 big end, I spent a fortune rebuilding it , only for the same thing to happen again after the first few hard launches. I am now dry sumping, if you add up the cost of all the wet parts (ie jun pump 15 hundy, baffle 5 hundy, trust extension 5 hundy, welding 2 hundy, ) & compare this with dry sumping it's a joke (ie as new s/h 4 stage weaver pump from ebay 7 hundy new moroso drag tank from summit 7 hundy, plus the cost of all the lines, fittings, and a couple of filters about another 7 hundy, plus modifying the sump pan 7 hundy, & finally a weaver drive kit for 2 hundy) I really wonder why I did not dry sump in the first place ! I would appreciate your comments ?

firstly can i just ask how a dry sump works? also as the above states about the trust ext and jun baffle why did it blow the big end was it from lack of oil? also did it have an extended oil pick up, of been told this should help? im just new to this and need to know as the last thing i want is to blow this motor again......

thanks guys im glad this topic has taken off.

JagR33 runs a stock sump i believe with his tracked 33 GTR, 350awkw :P

There are numerous others too.

Its all about the prep work to head and other things, then you wont need a sump for your aims Lee :D

That's correct, standard sump, Ben (Racepace) assured me it would be OK, as long as oil is at the right level....

Done 3 trackdays, so far so good....

best idea it to google: "what is a dry sump" or "dry sump system" or similar then you can learn how it works.

I have done a dry sump on my rb30/26 in my gtr. Car not running yet but let me tell you (not to scare anyone off) doing a dry sump setup on a foreign motor (ie all the parts are for chevs not nissan) is farkin tuff, not easy at all. If you have the mechanical know how it will make it easier but still alot of headaches, like pulley sizing to ensure enough oil and pressure on idle etc....

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
