Rb25 Sump!

[adamsrotor]

hey guys, ive seen these high energy sumps for sale and was wondering if it really is worth it. if youve seen any of my other topics you would know im building up a 25/26 aiming for 500rwhp. ive done all the other oil control mods there is to do and my car will be seeing the track every now and then. is it worth the extra $800 or just stick with the standard option? thanks.

I've got one... just the standard street/circuit 6.5L... or there are a few companies around that will take your existing one and modify it but I wouldn't expect much change from $800... for that power level I would be looking at some kind of baffling just for peace of mind... you will probably see some oil surge under acceleration and braking if you are planning on using sticky tires...

or you could just get a BIG oil cooler and overfill the oil a little but for the money you have already spent you may as well do it all

I have a high energy sump and with my oil cooler kit holds about 9L i think. Cant really remember just kept pouring it in till it showed full on the dipstick

[adamsrotor]

lol 9ltrs is decent! sounds like ill go ahead with it then. where is the cheapest place to get one from. or possibly deal directly through high energy themselves?

[WHITER33GTS-T]

I think i just saw one on here for sale

[adamsrotor]

ooo link me!

I use a gated and baffled hi energy sump with zero probs on the track or the strip.

It holds around 8 litres inc, my filter and cooler.

they sound pretty trick. is the rb25 different to the rb26?

[WHITER33GTS-T]

ooo link me!

Must have been another forum. I will try find it for you.

[adamsrotor]

i did find one on here but its for a rb26 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Hi...;hl=high+energy

[NickR33]

they sound pretty trick. is the rb25 different to the rb26?

yep... addition front diff makes them totally different

that one in the for sale section looks like a RB25 one... as he states its only suitable for rwd RB26... no front diff

[adamsrotor]

yeah i know they have a front diff. i was referring to the rwd drive sump if there was any diff between that and the rb25. think its prob safer to get one strait from the factory.

pro eliminator looks like the go

[adamsrotor]

rang up high energy today, far bit cheaper for trade so was happy about that. only thing was they were trying to upsell me to the circuit pan over the pro eliminator lol im only goin to be doing sprints and a bit of drift maybe 5 times a year, and its about $300 difference. the main diff is it has gates on the sides aswell as front and rear to help in cornering where the pro elim only has them front and rear. not to keen on spending so much on a pan, reckon its worth it or just stick with the cheaper pro eliminator, cheers.

for something so important i would not be skimping mate. Get the best of the best. Well that is what i would do. Spend less on something not so important and make up the cash there.

[adamsrotor]

yeah i know what ya mean mate, just $1000 for a sump is alot and i though spendin $690 was enough lol dont wanna go to over the topr if its really not needed...

[Grunter]

Look at it this way what did your engine cost to build? Don't mean to be smart

but a few extra dollars today can save you BIG dollars down the track lets

face it do it once and do it right.An example for you on the week end my mates

highly tuned GTR 30/26 combo was loseing oil preasure when turning around

courners even with a sump baffle I guess it wasn't a top of the line model one.

With a engine with well known oil problems its well worth a over kill in this area.

At the end of the day you want many years of trouble free driving,good luck with it

[R.I.P.S NZ]

If your interested we do high capacity 2wd drift/drag/track sumps for RB25 or RB26 with baffles, surge tank and breather tubes etc, nzd750+shipping so it would be about au700-720 delivered depending on exchange rate.

We use them on drift, track and drag cars and we've never had a run bearing.
