Rb30 Sump Adapter Help

[felixy69]

am i missing some holes there for the oil pick up??

btw...most of the holes are off by 2-3mm....this thing is so badly madeeeee

You have to run an external pick up.

I've attached a couple of pics from another setup I've seen.

I'm not sure if using a banjo is a wise idea but it did appear to work with no issues; I would prefer a speedflow type connection.

Hi Felix, here are some more pics of mine. Notice that there is a -12 fitting welded to the side of the N1 Pump and pointing in the direction of the A/C Bracket. This then goes to the fitting you see on the side of the sump. The connects up to the pick up inside. I've also put in a pic of the fitting at the back of the head that is the oil return to the sump and a pic of the internals of the sump showing the trap-door arrangement in case any of that helps..

like the others said, u need to run an external oil pickup, exactly as r32 tt has in the pics.

On a side note, did u get that adapter plate from a guy off here? If so good luck in getting it to fit, i got one and decided to throw it in the bin and make one myself Plus i can get them remade aswell

P.S sweet lookin sump matt i decided to go for a dry sump setup

I don't know who is making these but fck me I had to bin myn and make another too.

Anyway. My ext pick-up is like the first, nice and easy.

Guys where did you get your adapters from? I've seen the ones Pro Engines are making and they don't look like that. There was someone else making plates and I understand they had a few issues.

i need to get my engine back out and finish off my plate. Then i can sell them to you guys, prices will be under $400

Hi Mark, thats not one of mine. Mine uses either a bolt on internal pickup or a blockoff plate for the pickup hole if you're using an external pickup. The bolts fit properly, all the drilling, countersinking and tapping is done in a CNC mill, as well as the silicone groove. Pick below to show the difference.

Cheers,

yes, where did you guys get these poor fitting adapters from. I'm sure many of us could benefit from your hard bought wisdom!

Greg, that looks nice.

I know mate, my point was that I've seen yours and they're bloody good.

There definitely appears to be some fitment issues with these adapter plates. My mechanic had the same alignment issues with many of the pre-drilled holes. Additionally there was significant grinding required of the block to leave enough room to put in some of the connecting bolts for the sump. Mine leaked like a sieve when we got it running.

On another note my oil pick was cut and refabricated to stay internal.

I GOT MINE OFF SYDNEYKID WITH MY RB30 BLOCK BUILD

ITS NOT EVEN STRIGHT.

WE HAVE TO MAKE A NEW ONE

[felixy69]

to add to my reply.

the bolt holes on the sump adapter is not stright, and doesn't light up the the holes on the sump.

gary said every RB motor is differen't but mine is clearly showing that gary's machinest just have bad eye sight and can't see stright.

if u guys remember that RB30 i had him build and we waiting a year and half for the block.

well now it has to be taken apart again and re machine it.

-piston walls are really scratched from them forcing the piston in.

-the holes fo the head bolt was drilled and tapped for bigger head studs, but he didn't drill it stright so the head and the head gasket won't go in. it's clear that 5 of them needs to be re drilled.

-improperly packing made the piston top all scratched up, from shipping.

-sump adapter needs to be re made as the plate it self isn't even flat. and the holes were off.

-block was cracked at the stock oil pick up. part of the casting.

this is a big pos

sorry i went off topic
