what oil restrictor you running? we run a 1mm and a tomei baffle (and twin oil coolers) with no issues in our drift car which see's 8000rpm for long periods of time.. that high octane sump was on the cards but requires to many mods to clear the sway bar setup in our car :D tis a real nice piece of gear

Ok will take some snaps in the next day or so.

And running a 1mm restrictor on the new engine which was startred for the first time wednesday so will be a few weeks before we get on the track in anger. Still have not found the reason for engine failure yet so it a slowly slowly approach.

Its a time consuming job to work out the mounting and cutting out the sump to fit it but good news its quite good quality cast alloy so it welded up a treat. Recomend that you bolt the sump to and engine block while its welded and let it cool before removing it so it dont warp. Mine came out perfectly no twisting or leaks yet

Here are some pics of my HiOctane sump welded up.

No pics of it mounted as yet!

Hey Andrew, that's the same Sump Extension I have in my GTR should do the job for you know drama, your using it primarily as a track toy right?

How's the build coming along? And the M? Latest news is Motorsport have got the parts to make the gears and are manufacturing them, availability is scheduled for end of May/ June.

yeah it's pretty cool. you mean the one it has on the top right, for the external oil return?

wanna swap dirtgarage? you don't need a nice highenergy one for drag. the trust one I have will be perfect for that!

edit:

fk it, since we are all gathered here today, I may as well whore a few pics of my sump. :yes: not as nice as merlins fancy one but still pretty decent.

Hey Ben,

Yep, the only road use this car will see is on its way to and from the various racetracks ;)

Build is getting there! The entire car is stripped at the moment, and waiting for its date with Bond Roll Bars :P Then comes paint, and then I can start driving it! Brakes and suspension will be coming shortly after... They are both jaw droppingly expensive ;) It seems that any parts for cars with GTR or M automatically have a 100% markup :laughing-smiley-014:

      I suspect 550s are on the large side for happy operation with a stock/Nistune RB20 ECU. The Hitachi ECU doesn't love short pulse width operation, and the RB20 doesn't need much fuel at idle. Big injectors can be unpleasant. This could be contributing.

      Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.

      Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.

      It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
