This thread needs some photos for those who dont get to see many dry sump setups or have never seen one.

Sorry the photos are not the greatest quality but they do show the dry sump.

Its a tight layout with a 5 stage system. These are of an RB26 in a GTR

And the boot with tank and some of the breathing system.

It is a pretty well sorted car, the owner has put alot into it.

The mentality has been, right way or no way from the beginning.

A few things still to change and tidy up, if I was to build another GTR for myself I'd use alot of the same componentry.

cool, ill have a hunt around for some pics.

unrelated to the dry sump topic but still oil related, I'll be giving you a bell re: a extended sump for my Soarer...just gotta check I can get the pan off with the motor in the car and how much room I have

The pressure stage is usually at the rear of the pump, it's a separate section that's sealed from the scavenger stages.

It's normally at the rear so the rear bearing plate can incorporate a pressure relief valve.

The new Peterson range also have a bypass valve that returns the excess pressure into the scavenger stage instead or returning it to the inlet of the pressure stage.

There are for and against for both types but the new petersons seem to work okay.

Mike I'll send you a different number you can get me on now.

Very nice choice.

In the next few weeks I'm hoping to test out one of my "behind closed doors projects"

An integral pump/pan with internal scavenging galleries using a similar Dailey pump that mike is using.

Working on the drive system still which will be via a multi row chain internally from the unused factor pump drive section of the crank.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
