hey all. im after some pics and ideas on a dry sump design for rb26. after much searching ive not had much luck.

i need to know what sort of bracket setup will work for drivers side mounting of the pump.

and more importantly, will the more common chev pumps be able to be used on the drivers side? etc etc.

ive got some acces to some auto verdi nascar pumps...

thanks in advance

ps, how many stage is needed, i was thinking 4 would be heaps, but can be done with 3?

im keen on pics too as ive been researching this topic for a fair while now as im building a dry sump for mine.

im interested in sump designs using the 4wd sump setup too

Get in and buy parts from the US while the dollar is strong, it will save alot of cash overall.

Anyone got any good online stores to buy Peterson gear from in the US?

So far ive found this shop...

we do the 4wd sumps if your interested...they have a 3 pick-up option...but most people like to only use 2 and do the rear head thing.

thanks Paul but i'd prefer to make it here rather than buy one, i wanted pics of designs but i know they dont come easily on things like this, so ill have to speak to some experts i know and suss it myself. I assume they are around the 2K mark going by the others ive seen? Im also going to be using a 5 stage pump so 3 pickups is needed. Any chance of a PM with the price if you dont mind and dont want to mention it in the thread?

cheers

I have dry sump kits available for anyone that is interested Check out the for sale section (use search function rb26 dry sump kit) I have a post in there with some pics and what is included in the kit. It is a complete kit minus hose and fittings and has been tested for over 18 months now on several GTRs. The kit I have developed mounts the pump on the laft hand passenger side of the engine and does use a 5 stage pump.

As far as buying the peterson stuff directly from the states i think you will find that on a one off purchase buy the time you add freight and duty you will not save a great deal. As i have researched fairly extensively on the supply of parts and as i have been buying quite a few pumps tanks etc I have negotiated a good price on supply from one of the australian distributors. If anyone would like pricing please feel free to pm me.

wrxkilla from this forum can attest to the quality of my kit as he has just recently purchased one for his engine build.

And just to give you the heads up unuique1 you will not be able to run a 5 stage pump and mount it on the drivers side of the engine as there is physiclly not enough room as you will find that the pump will foul on the post for the engine mount. 4 stage will be the largest pump that you will be able to use and the clearance with a 4 stage pump will be quite tight.

thanks dazmo i plan on running the pump in the air con spot because the air con is long gone (track car). PM sent to you as well.

No worries mate. I have not recieved a pm though you may ahve to try and send it through again.

Majortiy spin around 50% (half engine speed) 38tooth gear on pump 19 on crank. But you can increase/decrease that to suit flow and vacuum requirements. As an indicator, the BDG pumps flow 42cc/rev, now thats some oil!

+1 for Barnes!

I think the 57% is about the maximum you can go, or so the mechanic from Performance Wholesale informs us, any faster and it starts to cavitate...

i searched but could not find (will keep looking)

but in the meantime can you email or pm me some info as i am abuot to do a kit and if you have one ready to go (brackets sump etc) i will just buy the lot from you.

Ive been using 5 stage Barnes pumps for a couple of years now in several cars and never had an issue with them.

Dazmo is right you will struggle to fit a 5 stage on the alternator side of the engine. Even with the Barnes pumps on the turbo side we have to modify the turbo inlet as the pressure out line fouls on the factory alloy intake.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
