Longer Oil Pick Up With Rips Extension Sump ?

[cobrAA]

Hello guys,

My mechanic installed a trust sump kit in the past and think that my RIPS sump extension should need one too ( even tho its made more wider than the trust which is deeper)

So, do you think its needed on wider sump vs deeper sump and if so, where can I supply one ? can I buy just this part from trust ?

thanks

I must say, where is the spirit of DIY? Whenever I've done dump relocation or extension and needed to modify the pickup, I've always cut n shut the original pickup as required.

Have you got the sump already? You could have got Rips to include a pickup ...but if the sump is no deeper then your stock one should be fine so long as it doesn't foul on any new gates etc.

i did email Rips about the issue, its a bit deeper but its more about wide than deep. i emailed him asking if he maybe forgot or i should've asked him about a modified pick-up, i shall see, but in the event that i need one, i though i might as well ask on here where to get one lol

Dont muck around asking others and relying on guess work, it takes 5 minutes to check and know.

Flip the engine upside down, cover the oil pickup in glad wrap, put a mound of playdough on the pickup and mock fit the sump on. (dont need to tighten any bolts)

Remove sump, slice playdough open on pickup with a sharp blade to check thickness which is your pickup clearance.

Then add or remove pickup pipe to adjust as wanted.

If you have a trap door sump, its also good to check that the pickup is centered to the trap doors.

In my case it was too close to the rear door making it almost impossible to open, i had to move the pickup a little forward towards the sump.
