RB26 sump - remove the diff, a decent fabricator should be able to do this quite easily.

The 26 sump gives support to the block, the 25 sump etc is very very thin.

Go with what Nissan designed :P

don't have one. don't wana buy one. heaps of people have used the 20/25/30 sumps, just wana know wat combination is best. as much as i'd like to use a 26 one. it'd cost to much to do. a; the purchase.. and then b; the mods and cost of welding. anyone heard or seen anything about the highenergy sumps?

have ya looked at what bolts the sump to the enging buddy? it aint no m6 bolts dude :P and you will notice the BLANKED OFF oil pick up in the block. (corect me if im wrong,there are tapped hols but thats it yes?)

USE A GTR SUMP WITH NO DIFF

and ps.. hi energy sump is shit and fowls on the swaybar :ermm:

everyone is on a budget smartass. i never said i wanted to use the high energy sump. i was asking if anyone has heard anything about em, this is a forum isn't it? a place were you ask shit. everyone on here is trying to do shit to a budget, the cheaper the better. sorry i asked.

Now now.

IMO you do not undertake a RB26 conversion with a tight budget. Its simply not possible to do well.

Especially if your going to chase 300-350rwkw out of the thing on a stock bottom end.

Small things like replacing hoses, clamps etc etc. These things alone cost enough let alone the bolt ons :cheers:

And look, $350 for a sump, cheap as chips.

hey mate

Ive got a modified rb20 sump on my 26 (well one of the rwd sumps). It has been bashed out to clear the rb26 oil pickup but is otherwise standard. It surges HARD on acceleration (300rwkw) and not so badly under brakes, even with 0.5L overfill. Having looked at hi-energy I decided against going down that road. Only other solution I could find was to modify a GTR sump to fit... it was a pain getting a complete sump (couldnt find a stock baffle so stuck with a tomei baffle) and currently a mate is doing the required mods plus winging it to increase capacity and hopefully help combat surge

Basically your best and prob simplest option is to use a modded GTR sump. Attached is the last one the guys did.

hey man,

i understand what u mean by budget. I think they are just misunderstanding what you are saying and assuming you're on a 'tight' budget. Which is totally different to shopping around for the best price (I see alot of people on SAU, getting pinged for being cheap, when simply doing thier h/w on prices.)

Also i couldnt see anywhere in your post about you mentioning you were chasing 300-350rwkw? unless you mentioned that in another topic, i must just be blind.

Anyway,

I don't know where your located but if your in Adelaide i have a rb25det AWD sump from a stagea you can have for $150, Then you can do as NIZMOID said an get it custom fab'd. Throw me a PM if your keen.

If not, then all the best with finding a suitable product.

Cheers

absolutely nothing wrong with a HE sump, been used and proven in circuit racing with no problems whatsoever. No surging, they increase oil capacity by atleast 3 litres over standard. Only problem is they do foul on the standard sway bar and they cost abit too for a modified second hand sump.

If the swaybar is a problem, its just a matter of contacting Sydneykid about one, as i know for a fact there are modified swaybars available for r32 and r33's to accomodate the High energy sump. May not be relevant to this thread, but may help others who are in need.

But a modified rb26 sump for 350 is pretty good. Worth looking at definietely.

Best bet is to use the Rb26 sump, they can be sourced nearly anywhere and i think i paid 100 for mine with a noisy diff. simple enough to remove the diff yourself and the thing is bullet proof... im not a fan of the steel sumps ive seen around the traps and the adapter plates ive seen are a waste of cash. Our car sits on 7k for ages and with simple bolt in baffles has proved very reliable and the whole lot owes me bugger all... far less than a high energy one thats for sure.

sounds good!! yes the alloy sump is the only way. not only for reliability but thats all that bolts up im pretty sure. and being the smartass that i am. its better to do it PROPERLY THE FIRST TIME than pay for 2 rb26's :rolleyes:

yay! there are normal people on here... looks like i'll try and use a gtr sump then. i was basically asking what the best cheapest setup is to use... why spend money when you don't have to? right? i don't expect to make upto 350rwkw on a standard bottom end. i expect to make more with an aftermarket bottom end :rolleyes: and 20/25 sumps do bolt on to4gtr but like someone else said you need to slightly massage the sump in some areas.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
