Quick cut and paste; The oil drain from a turbo operates via gravity. That is, the pressure drop across the turbo bearing is nearly complete and it is only gravity that causes the oil to flow back to

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

the hi energy sumps will not fit any jap stuff only 30,s in vl,s. sad but true... we learnt the hard way two year ago and now manufacture our own that will fit all cefiro, 180, silvia and all skylines.

They do fit, they only reason they didn't fit was because they hit the swaybar (have an older style at the workshop that's going in a commodore) but High Energy informed me that ALL the RB sumps they now do cater for the swaybar in skylines etc.

My sump is slightly on the backburner due to exhaust manifold issues, but I will post up for the whole world to see just exactly how it will fit :)

Don't really want to chop the front of my sump, rather it fit up all nice :P

my he sump has a angle on the fornt of it and it still hits in my s15, rb26... so no it wont fit... i have to get made up a custom sway bar

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway

      Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.

      My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
