i have heard so many ppl saying just use the 25 sump just use the 25... i dont think that is the best option high energy makes a 6'5 lt sump for the 25 but im unsure if i should get sumthing like that for the 26 block... ne suggestions

o and if neone knows if everything from a 25 like ac p/s pump alternator just bolts straight up to a 26 block but its an n1 block so neone got ne ideas on the subject

rb25 sump will not fit the rb26 - hence the need for adapter plates for the 4wd rb26 sumps on the rb30. either build a custom one, or have the rb26 sump modified to remove the front diff and welded up.

i believe the belts and spacing on the accessory pumps are different from rb25 and rb26

RB26 sump is thick, provides strength.

The diff needs to be lopped off, and material removed.

Any decent fabricator will be able to knock it up for you if you show them and give them some specs and stuff.

I've had mine done, RB26 motor/26 sump, RWD. Works a treat :D

26 is drilled for both sumps which are interchangable except for the rb26 oil pickup which sits further out than on 25's meaning the 25sump will not fit unless you bash it out a good 10-15mm to clear. To use the 26 sump you will need to lop of the diff casing and plug up the driveshaft holes, make sure you trial fit it to the motor and the motor into the car before final fittment as it sits very close to the steering rack...(you need to take a fair amount of material off on the drivers side).

The standard hi energy sump fouls the front sway bars, Also it help if you get a 10mm spring steel adapt plate in there.. If you're wanting to run a/c and P.S the pulley system on your rb25 should be swap over to rb26 including your harmonic.. or what ever it is call...temp. sensors has to be swap and a whole lot of other crap needs to be swap....

I got an extended hi-energy it holds 8.5lts and what ever the oil cooler holds.

Almost forgot the most important part. extend your oil pick up to suit new sump.

Thats one hard to understand post! If the high energy sits lower than the std 26 sump (I assume seeing as your talking about extending the oil pickup) then it will likely also protrude lower than the engine x-member. We got my sump to about 8litres without going any lower than stock, sits perfectly level with the x-member.

surely there must be sumone who specialise in this sorta stuff. and would already know wat to do to be able to give me a bit more capacity as well as fit straight in neways thnx for ur comments

When you put the Hi energy sump in the front section of it foul o the sway br, well on mine it did. Also the pick up of the rb26 in abit to the side and it would help the engine a fair bit if it was moved further back infront of the trap door. But I cant remember it hitting the x member. Im getting old and my memory is failing. next time I get near my car I will take foto of mod sway bar and sump. I have photos some amongst the pron, too many to go through and find it.

As for rb26 sump and diff weight, just chuck it on a scale and find out.. weight is not somuch of an issue regarding street car, more so torque and power and skinnier mates.

surely there must be sumone who specialise in this sorta stuff.

You dont have a fabricator yet?

With your custom big setup, you'll be needing to find one quite soon id imagine :)

the turbo setup is being done by etm....

the intecooler pipe r pretty much spot on already to suite hypertune plenum...

and bsides if u knew where i lived u'd undastand y i have trouble trusting ppl with nethin

Good reply Nick

yeah i was gonna say to skylinekid there have been some good posts above on what you need to do from people who have been there and done it. I dont know what you were expecting but thats valuable free information that would save you some $$$ figuring out this stuff yourself through trial and error

mate i have no access to tig nor mig welder... i have no fabricators in town who would even consider goin newhere near the saump bczu all they will say is ewww import o god nah go to brisbane.... f**kin shits me grrrrr

    • I have no hard data to report, but I have to say, having driven it to work and back all week, mostly on wet roads (and therefore mostly not able to contemplate anything too outrageous anywhere)..... it is real good. I turned the boost controller on, with duty cycle set to 10% (which may not be enough to actually increase the boost), and the start boost set to 15 psi. That should keep the gate unpressurised until at least 15 psi. And rolling at 80 in 5th, which is <2k rpm, going to WOT sees the MAP go +ve even before it crosses 2k and it has >5 psi by the time it hits 90 km/h. That's still <<2.5k rpm, so I think it's actually doing really well. Because of all the not-quite-ideal things that have been in place since the turbo first went on, it felt laggy. It's actually not. The response appears to be as good as you could hope for with a highflow.
    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 😎
    • Oh, it's been done. You just run a wire out there and back. But they have been known to do coolant temp sensors, MAP sensors, etc. They're not silly (at Regency Park) and know what's what with all the different cars.
    • Please ignore I found the right way of installing it thanks
    • There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
