Hey all.

Looking at new sump for my 25/30. Its going into an R31. Will i have any clearance issues with swaybar/crossmember and the like if i get one of these enlargened sumps.

Are the RB30 sumps the same for both the VL and R31 RB30's?

Thanks for any assistance,

Chris

High Energy make their RB30 sumps to fit into skylines. The old design would have clashed with the swaybar in a skyline (have one at the workshop, was off my RB30 when it was in my mates commodore), I measured up my mates one and rang High Energy to begin explaining what I needed (a 50mm 45deg chamfer off the leading edge of the extension) and he was like "oh, we already do that now for all RB25 and RB30 sumps".

I will be getting a pro-circuit High Energy sump, was meant to already be got but decided to get some Spool rods and needed to get a 6boost manifold :)

Edit: can't see anything about baffles & gates in that JPC sump..

I'll have a look closer at all of the above. I did notice that the Lewis Engine's one doesnt make any references to additional baffling and the like.

Thanks for that gents.

I've decided to bite the bullet and get the ASR sump. Spent too much money already, whats a few more dollars lol.

For those interested, apparenlty the sump will still fit a 31 all right - incase anyone else is doing the same sorta thing.

Cheers for the tips lads

Just Jap sell the ASR sumps.

I emailed Lewis Engines about their sump, they didnt show any photos, but they claim their sump sump is a proven design which has been fitted to hundreds of track, and drag cars. They also offer another sump for $699 designed for even heavier cornering, acceleration and braking.

Got any pics of the "hardcore" one?

I fitted an ASR sump to one of our commodore cup engines yesterday and they are a work of art. Just make sure you pull out the screen and wash it out properly as there will still be some metal dust and shavings from the fabrication. All the parts are laser cut and well finished and the welding is perfect. This sump was $1300 but you can see the dollars in it. I can't imagine something less intricate costing anywhere near that. though.

I have a mate currently making an RB30 one for me, I'll snap some photos when it's done. We're going to have the pans and baffles laser cut and cnc bent once we have the prototype done.

Sweet as. I like pictures lol

No it doesn't, at least in my R32 GTSt the standard RB30 sump doesn't hit the swaybar.

It is the extended sumps that might have problems but High Energy now take into account the swaybar in skylines for all their RB25 & RB30 sumps.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
