let me get in on that b cam action!!!

I'll be looking fairly seriously at some vct development for my GTR. I'm not going to shell out for hks v-cam that's for shure!! It would be interesting to get intake AND exhaust happening.

How hard could it be?? ha ha ha

Time for some more big pics.

I've started work on the sump today.

How it started

After some drilling and cutting I got the plate out. They weren't designed to come out easily

Starting to design the new guts of the sump.

Since we've put the engine back in Damo's car, we have found the reason we lost so much power in Targa. The lifters for cylinder 2 are rooted

More pics of the sump

Completed cardboard mockup

I made a mount (high tech treated pine), so I could mount the oil pickup asif the pan was connected to the block. It's no wonder they run bearings. The pickup will be moved to the middle of the pan.

I got it all cut out in steel. only have cut 1 trap door hole so far, need to to cut the others out, weld the hinges on, then put it all together

Sump is getting close now. Only need some small angle steel to attach the cover.

Gates and baffle insert.

Dummy fitting the insert.

Insert welded in, and pickup modifications complete.

Cover modifed for the new pickup. got to take a plasma cutter for a spin....they are awsome

design is good but I'm not sure about the 4 tabs that secure the centre 'box'. they are effectively stopping oil flow around the box. they will kind of act to reduce surge a bit but will also reduce flow in and out of the box. just something to think about. you could always hole saw them so oil can flow through or just cut them down a bit smaller (but could be tough now that it's welded in).

otherwise it looks sound.

FWIW, I looked at fitting the RB26 windage trays to my RB20 as I thought the racier RB26 would have a design better than the lowly 20. I was wrong. RB20 windage tray is better.

So I wasted an hour of my mate's time milling my RB20 girder to accept the 26 trays.... because of course, I assumed it would be an improvement without actually checking huh.

What a Doofus.

yeah 26 one is pretty crap and a fairly compromised set-up all round (they do have a better pick-up though). their only good point is they can look kind of cool being alloy instead of the cake tin GTST gear, not good for their weight though.

The idea is that the oil will hit the baffle, and be forced into the gate. The baffles arn't sealed, and the oil can go under and around

I'm referring to the windage trays you noob, not the sumps. :miner:

i know you monkey. hence why i said:

    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless
