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.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
