I'm releasing a fantastic new oil setup at the moment which is a hybrid dry/wet sump system.

Using a 9L fabricated sump, 2 stage pump and a "surge tank"

The single scavenge stage draws from the 9L sump and fills a 2.5L resiviour (surge tank) mounted inside the wheel arch or engine bay. The single pressure stage draws from the resiviour and pressurizes the engine.

From the top of the resiviour a return back to the sump allows the tank to breath and overflow.

Pro's

As good at controlling surge as a full on dry sump

Far cheaper than a dry sump

Less plumbing

External pump so no breakages!

Lower weight not having the large tank and lines

So far testing has been faultless with perfect oil pressure logs when running on slicks.

I've also just completed the first prototype resiviour to fit into the original space occupied by the washer bottle on the R32.

Do you have a set of baffles in the tank Brad? What capacity is the tank? Looking at the D.E. or Verdi pump with an air/oil separator the design of the tank can be a lot simpler which owes itself to

Ryan I have two Vehicles already doing some laps. One is an r32 GTR and the other is an r33 GTST RB25.

So far pricing is on a case by case basis as I'm insisting on doing the installation myself or atleast controlling it due to the nature of the setup not really having been done before.

Bracket, balancer, and drive kit are identical to dry dump parts. Sump is a modified version on my normal 9L sump, pump is a two stage and the surge tank is obviously custom.

Send me a email if your keen to get a quote and have one done.

Sorry to revive this excellent thread but one quick question

Is it still necessary to enlarge the block oil returns and restrict the block feed orifices when running dry sump setup?

Obviously enlarged returns will benefit no matter but if the engine is already assembled then how much off a disadvantage will it be on dry sump setup?

Thanks

I'd also like to know this.

Do I still need to run the restrictors in the block? Or will the vacuum in the engine be enough to suck the oil back down without any issues with the bigger head feeds.

I shot you an email also brad, haven't heard back yet, I understand your busy! see if you could look out for it. keen to get this sorted asap.

Also, I have seen many circuit cars run -12 and -10 lines for the dry sump, and then many run -12 and -16 lines.

Is it wrong to run the smaller lines? can it cause issues? or will it all work to an extent?

hey, being a noob to dry sump etc, the one thing i havent seen on here is where the pressure line is fed back into the block? doe it run through a cooler and into the block via the filter port???, and wat do u do with the stock pump? take the gears out and block it up or something like that? any info would be much appreciated

Theres another thread?

Referring the thread to Risking (Pro Fabrication) and why the previous poster should probably reconsider pursuing this avenue.

Edit: nm - beaten to it

      Big Brake Kit for ECR33

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Really comes down to user requirements, I have found my 324mm 350Z Brembo front set up more than sufficient for track use, especially for Wakefield Park with good brake pads. At Sydney Motorsport Park the GP Circuit can be a bit taxing on the braking system, I find by the 3rd hot lap there's rapid degradation in braking performance but at that point non semi slick tyres are about to give up anyway. And yes, the brakes are effective, slowing me down from 230km/h+ each time going into turn 1. Street use, it's more than enough for street activities. Most of the time people complain their brakes aren't sufficient, it's due to incorrect bleeding, poor choice of friction material, or faulty master cylinders.

      I'm about to sell my Attakd kit actually, so if you want a budget 2nd hand kit they definitely do work, though make sure you update your BMC when/if you do. Just keep in mind that buying pads (for any aftermarket kit) can be a bit more complicated when you have an aftermarket caliper. Not all brands make pads in the shapes and sizes you may want, no matter what you end up with.

      Wiring loom difference between A31 A/T RB20DET and R32 M/T RB20DET?

      By deuceforty2 · Posted

      Hey guys, I had an R32 M/T RB20DET in my S13 quite a while ago, however I have replaced the chassis harness on the S13 and picked up a new motor (A31 A/T RB20DET according to the ECU) and I am having a hell of a time trying to figure out the dash wiring (specifically the black/pink wire for the fuel pump).  It seems this A31 loom is quite different at the dash connector and there is not even a black/pink wire anywhere on the engine loom (on one of the 5 dash plugs that are there), or on the ECU for that matter.  Every pinout I have seen is totally different from the actual wires on my ECU and i'm at a loss on how to wire this thing into my S13....     Any ideas?   In summary : A31 A/T engine loom/ecu pinouts are different than any pinouts i have seen online (specifically around pin 18 Fuel Pump Relay)

      What are you doing with the car? Drags, sprints, racing? A decent upgrade of dba 4000 rotors, good quality pads (endless, project mu, intima are all I have used), quality fluid and braided lines. All have held up to multiple big track days and street duties. No need for big fancy kits as some also require significant energy to come upto operating temp. Look at 350z caliper and rotor upgrade too.  @Dose Pipe Sutututu comment on them and did a good write up.

      I've driven that one and it's a great deal and drives nice. The owner definitely treats it right on track. You would have gotten it for what you paid for this one too.   Keen to see what you do to this one.
