Sump Adapters (Rb26 Block To Use Rwd Sump)

[ronnydotk]

As the topic states. I can remember seeing them a while ago on hioctane.com but can't find them anymore. It was a plate that allowed you to use a rwd sump on the rb26 block. This would have been perfect for my planned application of a 26 in a 32 gts-t, but if they don't exist anymore then i'll have to find another way. Has anybody else seen them/know what i'm on about? Or did i just dream it up?

you can just cut the diff off a gtr sump.

or just use a rwd sump, iirc all 4wd RB blocks have both 4wd and rwd sump bolt pattern and the adaptor is only needed for a rwd block into a 4wd car.

26 Sump adds strength that a tin one doesn't.

use the 26 sump, cut the diff off.

cheap, effective, and its what most people do... myself included.

Yea the 26 block has the holes that allow you to bolt a 20/25 sump pan on there but you have to fiddle with the pick up as it hits the baffles and a little to the front of the sump itself

Use the 26 sump and get it modded

i have a spare RB26 RWD sump if you need one?

[kristafa]

we sell the sump rings if you like, they have a modification to dodge the oil pickup..

we also make full sumps from mild or alloy

I've got an rb26 sump modified for rwd if your interested. They can be a pain to modify due to steering rack clearance on the drivers side, and they tend to change shape if you don't bolt them to a block while welding.

[ronnydotk]

yeah interesting. Only reason i wanted to use the adapter and a rwd sump was it would have been cheaper to put a high volume sump on, compared to a high volume/baffled gtr sump. Food for thought now anyway. I emailed hioctane - no response yet.

eerrrmmm

What does that do?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

yeah, i dont really get how the sump can bolt to that?

[kristafa]

those sumps are for RB into BMW conversions to clear the bmw crossmember.. the pickup is also relocated to the rear of the sump.

it means we can have our own sump style to suit all rb20/25/26/30's with the small change to the sump ring to allow for the different oil pickup location on the rb26 block

No wonder i couldn't find it using the word "girdle" in the search. It's listed with a typo as a "gridle". Nor does it have the word sump in it anywhere.

This is it.

Although i've gone off the idea now anyway. I think a modded gtr sump for rwd with a tomei baffle will be fine for my intended purposes.
