Is This A Stock Rb26 Sump?

[AX-onevia]

I recently purchased an RB26 powered Silvia in Japan and it won't be here for a while yet but I'm just trying to gather some more information on it before it gets here. I'm not very familiar with RBs as I've spent many wasted years toying with SRs. The engine is supposedly fully built and I noticed on this photo the sump seems to be quite deep. Is this stock? If not any idea what make it is? If so what are the modifications needed to be carried out on a stock sump to handle big power? Baffles etc?

[MAD R32 GTR !]

hard to tell from that angle

any other pics?

[R31Nismoid]

Its factory from that photo far as i can tell

interesting to get a pic more to the left and see what they did with the diff etc

[AX-onevia]

That a shame, I thought it looked way to deep to be factory. Unfortunately its the only undercar pic of the sump I was given. I won't have more pics for another month or so when it gets chopped in half and put in a container!

Is the stock sump sufficient or do people change to aftermarket?

[R31Nismoid]

depends on what your doing with it, if your a drifter you will need to play with a few things. streeter ect should be sweet.

id be more worriwed about why it has no front sway bar in s13 you need to notch the front of the std 26 sump to clear the sway bar.... on some dodgy conversions ive seen they just take the sway bar off

def stock gtr sump...

yeah thats a gtr sump alright and looking at the rest of the sub frame with those hydralic hoses running across the front of the sump id say the entire lot is off a gtr as it would have the wider wheel track, pumped, vented gaurds etc, with the rear hicus plumbed back into the resoviour... typical conversion. then all they do is spacer the rear hubs and flare the gaurds to match the front.. you should be ok sr20dets are similar just missing two cylinders and an extra turbo.

Yes it will be put into a drift car. What needs to be played with? What sump is Cat's car running? Baffles? Pickup?

I also noticed the swaybar issue.... the car has twin highmount TD05s (for sale when it gets here!) so I'm guessing it may have been used for drag or something. Again what swaybar is Cat's car running?

If your suggesting they've converted it to 4wd they havn't. Its running a R33 gearbox and theres definitely no front driveshafts. From other pics those hoses in front of the sump seem to be for the power steering reservoir which they have moved to the other side of the engine bay.
