Hi,

I'm after some internal and external pictures of a L20et sump (front sump),

I need to see if the oil inlet is right angle to the sump or if it's on a angle,

I'm trying to work out how the oil will return back to the sump from the turbo

see pic

hope that helps in some way.

i also welded a hose tail to a mates sump for his set up, but this was fair bit easier to do as both engines were still in the car.

Thank you for the pictures, this shows me how far forward in the pan the fitting is.

Does the fitting go through the sump and stick out inside the sump, or is it flush ?,

the reason I ask, if it's flush the bubbly oil would hang around the outlet and slide down the side of the sump,

if the fitting stuck out (inside the sump), the bubbly oil would drop off into the oils sitting in the bottom of the pan

both the fittings i made up just sat flush with the sump. mates car is still running yr or so on so must work.

unsure how the factory sumps r set up...

Pretty sure my post above explained that easly enough. But here is a pic

You can just see the oil return on the bottom edge of the exhasut housing..

Ok, this is what I have to work with,

I have 4 different sumps,

the first is my spare L28, the second and third are my original 240K, the fourth and fifth are my other 240, and the last one is my parts MR30, as you can see, the last one has the spot to put the fitting like the above pictures, the other 3 are a few inches deep (shallow part of the pan), so I assume I could put the fitting in that area,

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
