High Energy Sump

[sxc33]

Hey all.

Looking at new sump for my 25/30. Its going into an R31. Will i have any clearance issues with swaybar/crossmember and the like if i get one of these enlargened sumps.

Are the RB30 sumps the same for both the VL and R31 RB30's?

Thanks for any assistance,

Chris

It would be quite worthwhile asking the manufacturers. They'd know better than anyone else. Let us know what they say if you do call them?

High Energy make their RB30 sumps to fit into skylines. The old design would have clashed with the swaybar in a skyline (have one at the workshop, was off my RB30 when it was in my mates commodore), I measured up my mates one and rang High Energy to begin explaining what I needed (a 50mm 45deg chamfer off the leading edge of the extension) and he was like "oh, we already do that now for all RB25 and RB30 sumps".

I will be getting a pro-circuit High Energy sump, was meant to already be got but decided to get some Spool rods and needed to get a 6boost manifold

Edit: can't see anything about baffles & gates in that JPC sump..

check out the lewis engine ones.

half the price of the other sumps listed here.

i have heard the jpc ones are a bit of a joke

They may not be as nice to look at but who cares.

I'll have a look closer at all of the above. I did notice that the Lewis Engine's one doesnt make any references to additional baffling and the like.

Thanks for that gents.

Lewis engines one appears to be a similar design to the Spool sump http://www.spoolimports.com/content/RB30an...VolumeSumps.asp too bad neither show anything inside though..

email darren, from lewis engines,

he will gladly help you out,

their sumps have baffling to suit.

I've decided to bite the bullet and get the ASR sump. Spent too much money already, whats a few more dollars lol.

For those interested, apparenlty the sump will still fit a 31 all right - incase anyone else is doing the same sorta thing.

Cheers for the tips lads

What is ASR?

[Bliksem]

Just Jap sell the ASR sumps.

I emailed Lewis Engines about their sump, they didnt show any photos, but they claim their sump sump is a proven design which has been fitted to hundreds of track, and drag cars. They also offer another sump for $699 designed for even heavier cornering, acceleration and braking.

Hmmk.

I'm going to go with the High-Energy Pro-circuit sump still

Got any pics of the "hardcore" one?

[Bliksem]

Nope no pics...

I fitted an ASR sump to one of our commodore cup engines yesterday and they are a work of art. Just make sure you pull out the screen and wash it out properly as there will still be some metal dust and shavings from the fabrication. All the parts are laser cut and well finished and the welding is perfect. This sump was $1300 but you can see the dollars in it. I can't imagine something less intricate costing anywhere near that. though.

I have a mate currently making an RB30 one for me, I'll snap some photos when it's done. We're going to have the pans and baffles laser cut and cnc bent once we have the prototype done.

Sweet as. I like pictures lol

sorry of topic, so the rb30 std sump hits the sway bar in the skylines (r34gtt in particular)?

[bubba]

No it doesn't, at least in my R32 GTSt the standard RB30 sump doesn't hit the swaybar.

It is the extended sumps that might have problems but High Energy now take into account the swaybar in skylines for all their RB25 & RB30 sumps.

hey guys,

what options do i have for a larger sump on my 30? i know high energy do one but who else?

has anyone custom fabricated/modified their original sump themselves?

thanks
