let me get in on that b cam action!!!

I'll be looking fairly seriously at some vct development for my GTR. I'm not going to shell out for hks v-cam that's for shure!! It would be interesting to get intake AND exhaust happening.

How hard could it be?? ha ha ha

Time for some more big pics.

I've started work on the sump today.

How it started

After some drilling and cutting I got the plate out. They weren't designed to come out easily

Starting to design the new guts of the sump.

Since we've put the engine back in Damo's car, we have found the reason we lost so much power in Targa. The lifters for cylinder 2 are rooted

More pics of the sump

Completed cardboard mockup

I made a mount (high tech treated pine), so I could mount the oil pickup asif the pan was connected to the block. It's no wonder they run bearings. The pickup will be moved to the middle of the pan.

I got it all cut out in steel. only have cut 1 trap door hole so far, need to to cut the others out, weld the hinges on, then put it all together

Sump is getting close now. Only need some small angle steel to attach the cover.

Gates and baffle insert.

Dummy fitting the insert.

Insert welded in, and pickup modifications complete.

Cover modifed for the new pickup. got to take a plasma cutter for a spin....they are awsome

design is good but I'm not sure about the 4 tabs that secure the centre 'box'. they are effectively stopping oil flow around the box. they will kind of act to reduce surge a bit but will also reduce flow in and out of the box. just something to think about. you could always hole saw them so oil can flow through or just cut them down a bit smaller (but could be tough now that it's welded in).

otherwise it looks sound.

FWIW, I looked at fitting the RB26 windage trays to my RB20 as I thought the racier RB26 would have a design better than the lowly 20. I was wrong. RB20 windage tray is better.

So I wasted an hour of my mate's time milling my RB20 girder to accept the 26 trays.... because of course, I assumed it would be an improvement without actually checking huh.

What a Doofus.

yeah 26 one is pretty crap and a fairly compromised set-up all round (they do have a better pick-up though). their only good point is they can look kind of cool being alloy instead of the cake tin GTST gear, not good for their weight though.

The idea is that the oil will hit the baffle, and be forced into the gate. The baffles arn't sealed, and the oil can go under and around

I'm referring to the windage trays you noob, not the sumps. :miner:

i know you monkey. hence why i said:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
