Hey.

I just bought a trust sump extension for an rb26dett and my aluminium welder has never done one before

Can anyone post up pics of the final installation and a few internal pics too to make things easier

Got the instructions and there all in japanese

Hope someone can help

I can help. hope he's cheaper than the bloke that welded mine! mine was done in japan and cost a farken bomb. :) It's very important though that it's done right, right angle, etc. right penetration, no leaks. it's not very trickey, but it is very important that it's done spot on. so much so that my tuning house building the motor sub contracted out the welding to a specialist.

Vince, if your in Sydney, Dart Automotive can help you.

They welded my Trust sump and several others for SAU members and did an excellent job.

Looking at getting one of these for my new baby and will be hitting the track soon. You guys recommend these? If so where's the best place to get them and what costs am I looking at roughly to get it installed?

install is an engine out job so prob not realistic until you have either stuffed the engine already or are taking it out to do a build

I have had the sump out without taking the Engine out before.

But yes..I agree it may be easier

I don't know how strongly I'd reccomend them. for one they have to be welded to your sump which is quite expensive. and is obviously irreversible. they are also a bit of a compromised design. they also protrude a little lower than I would like.

I chose the trust one as my engine was being built in japan and that is what they were comfortable/familiar with. if I were doing it here I would suggest looking at the hi-octane/hi-energy sump. looks very good and many people have had success with it here.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
