Hey.

I just bought a trust sump extension for an rb26dett and my aluminium welder has never done one before

Can anyone post up pics of the final installation and a few internal pics too to make things easier

Got the instructions and there all in japanese

Hope someone can help

I can help. hope he's cheaper than the bloke that welded mine! mine was done in japan and cost a farken bomb. :) It's very important though that it's done right, right angle, etc. right penetration, no leaks. it's not very trickey, but it is very important that it's done spot on. so much so that my tuning house building the motor sub contracted out the welding to a specialist.

Vince, if your in Sydney, Dart Automotive can help you.

They welded my Trust sump and several others for SAU members and did an excellent job.

Looking at getting one of these for my new baby and will be hitting the track soon. You guys recommend these? If so where's the best place to get them and what costs am I looking at roughly to get it installed?

install is an engine out job so prob not realistic until you have either stuffed the engine already or are taking it out to do a build

I have had the sump out without taking the Engine out before.

But yes..I agree it may be easier

I don't know how strongly I'd reccomend them. for one they have to be welded to your sump which is quite expensive. and is obviously irreversible. they are also a bit of a compromised design. they also protrude a little lower than I would like.

I chose the trust one as my engine was being built in japan and that is what they were comfortable/familiar with. if I were doing it here I would suggest looking at the hi-octane/hi-energy sump. looks very good and many people have had success with it here.

    • And at over $2 per litre I'm starting to consider setting up a corn mash still and converting over to alcohol and running mine on it !  Up side of that is it all doesn't have to go into the car ! Win win !
    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally.
