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

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.

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

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.

    • Wish I had this advice when I did my pump. It went in and out 3 or 4 times, and on the last time it snapped.
    • Tried them, they leaked. I also foolishly bought some random rubber ones that leaked too.  Genuine and not looked back.    As always though sample size of one, and I could have made a mistake installing them. 
    • Technically still manual process to set it first time though
    • Shit job but not hard. I'd use a piece of wood to knock the plastic lid open to avoid damaging it, use a vacuum to clean up the fuel sender lid also so crap doesn't fall in. I'd probably do pump and filter at the same time since you're already in there, I reused my OEM sock after a quick clean since the one provided wasn't long enough. Could also hardwire your pump if you feel inclined.
    • Supercheap auto sell this: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/pat-plusquip-fuel-tank-lock-ring-tool---universal-kit/SPO3564082.html I own this and if you HAVE PATIENCE you can remove it without snapping lines and generally being incredibly angry, then said at doing this job. Sadly I've removed the pump about 75,000 times over the years. I don't know if you're a large lad or a smaller lad but my advice to you as someone who is 185cm is if you are my height or smaller, is to sit in the boot and take your time. Yes you can put the seal on. The seal goes over the white thing/lid (you will see how it 'slots' in) then the whole assembly presses into the tank. then you screw the lock ring on. I spent so much time doing things the wrong way by trying to mount the seal into the tank first, then putting the white fuel hat on in the space provided. Put it together first then it'll all go in. But seriously be careful about removing the hoses AND where the removal tool is moving relative to the plastic pipes coming out of the lid when you've removed it. IT IS BRITTLE So brittle in fact I have two spare lids, and would recommend buying a spare and having it handy before attempting to do this. May as well throw https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD in the tank as well, as this uses all stock plugs and such. You may need to/strongly recommend you re-use your OEM fuel sock or use the one supplied with a length of hose so it sits at the stock height.
