[sav man]

VVT..... lol surely you're all taking the piss?

cold weather gives us too much time to think

[DJRIFT]

all credability out the window in one post.

[XRATED]

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

[sav man]

we've only worked out how to get the timing switch. Not the full variable like HKS....yet

[Beer Baron]

if RB25 can has it. you can has it too.

[sav man]

25 only has the switch, not the contantly variable one

[XRATED]

Yeah. I'm just intrested in switching like a 25.

New favourite thread

You're doing amazing things here boys, keep it up

[sav man]

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

[XRATED]

Nice one norman!

I'd be tempted to throw a trap door in the front there too???

[sav man]

All 4 will have one. Just havnt cut all the holes yet

[sav man]

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

[Beer Baron]

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.

[Beer Baron]

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.

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

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 know you monkey. hence why i said:
