Rb26 With Rb25 Sump Upgrade.

[STATE50]

Hi all, im chasing a sump for a rb26, BUT the rb26 is going in a r33 gtst 2 wheel drive. We have the rb25 sump that has been mangled to fit around the 26 pickup, however we want a high capacity baffled sump, possibly with some sort of windage tray. any one seen this mod before.

You can purchase them from high energy and places like that.

Friend has a high cap sump on his 26 from HE.

Although, just mod the 26 sump and use that IMO.

Thats what ive done.

I belive the 26 was out of a 33. am i right in saying that the 32/33 pickups are different on the 26.

All rb26 oil pick ups are the same 32,33,34

[STATE50]

So, then are the 2b26 pickups and 2b25 pickups, different, i think i may have to buy a new 2b25 pickup if thats the case.

yeah rb25 and rb26 pick ups are different. there in a different position on the block too. rb26 towards the front and rb25 towards the middle a bit more. If u use a rb25 sump u have to butcher it up to suit the rb26. i would be doing what ash (r31nismoid) did and modding a 26 sump.

Booger. I was hoping you wouldnt say that. So i should take a rb26 sump and delete the diff and mod it. Or i can take the rb25 sump and learn how to build a extra capacity, baffled, windage tray equipped sump.

sounds like fun.

Just cut it up to look similar to the RB25 one.

Thats what my 26 sump has had done to it, looks quite neat indeed.

I must take a pic of it next time i see it.

I doubt you'll need a wizbang sump.

I plan to have around 300rwkw and circuit race it and im told it will be perfectly fine, if its fine for GTR's, it'll be fine for a RWD car

we are after 600 at the wheels, im probably being a bit too serious with this build. we dont have an rb26 sump at all. possibility of getting the hifgh energy sump and altering the pickup, would probably be cheaper.

you have a 26 but DONT have a 26 sump? WTF.. seriously.. get a 26 sump.. cut the diff housing off and get that modified it will more than likely cost you less than a aftermarket sump will cost me a couple hundred to get the diff housing cut off the holes welded up and well yer

i looked at doin the rb20/rb25/rb30 sump.. the mod you have to do to get the oil pickup to fit is bullshit and i wouldnt trust it as far as i could throw it.. i wish i had of taken pics when i had mine on the engine stand
