Spool Imports Sump For Rb25 & 30

[Bliksem]

Browsing through the Spool Website I found a few High volume sumps for RB25 and RB30, does anyone have more info on them, how big they actually are and if there's any internal baffling? the site doesnt give too much away and only has two photos at the moment. Ive emailed them but still awaiting a reply. http://www.spoolimports.com/content/RB30an...VolumeSumps.asp

I looked at these but it looks like they will sit below the X member to far. so I decided against it

Received a reply:

The sumps use the std pickup – they are no lower than the OEM sump so there are no clearance problems. They are just a bigger capacity sump with modified and enlarged sides. They fit all R32 GTS RB20, R33 GTST RB25 and VL RB30 etc.

I wonder if they're worth it for the $420?

If all you want is extra capacity then I don't see why not.

Not sure I am a fan of the weld quality around the extension where it meets the sump.

For not a lot more you could get the Trust sump extension which includes a modified pickup, or spend $900 or so and get one of the ASR/High Energy straight replacement sumps.

Arent the trust sump extensions for RB26?

anyone had further info on these sumps?

I have one of these sumps.

It is exactly as pictured. Has trapdoors, baffling etc. The quality is amazing.

Very good for the money...

Only thing is when ordering mine, I was the only one to recieve this style sump. About half a dozen other people here just recieved the standard sump with a box welded on. I'm not sure why this happened, but I love it anyways.

My ASR sump is a work of art.

Isn't this similar to that spool vs wateva forged conrods bitch thread?

How can you compare a product priced at $400, to something in a completely different market at almost $1k?

I believe lewis engines in south aus do this as well

[rad100]

i was just wondering as the price seems very good and its in my price range..

Who is rob and what/where is sabbadin? Sounds like a raghead temple!

I just looked at the link and it shows photos of the doors and whatnot inside. Looks the goods! That sump with an accusump and you will have a bullet proof oiling system, or as close as it gets in a wetsump system.
