using rb30 sump with rb26dett

[Driver]

hey all

i was wondering if there would be any issues using an rb30 sump with a rb26dett engine besides having to modify it.

I dont know much about sumps.. do they all work the same?

thanks

on what car?

if the rb26 is still in a gtr and you need it to be 4wd, then NO, you can't use an RB30 stock sump.

if in RWD car, then I think that an RB25 or RB20 sump will fit the RB30 bottom end with small mods to the fins on the inside.

to use an rb30 bottom end in a 4wd setup, you need an adapter plate.

Someone on these forums is able to sell you one for $450.

a compnay in NZ charges about a $1K

this is to suit an rb26 in a r34 gt-t

cos i can get a rb30 sump cheap as i know a rb25 sump will be $$.

oh sorry.

I read it as if you were using an RB30 bottom end on the Rb26 head.

disregard my post cause I don't think it helps at all....

heh no probs

I would stick with the rb26 sump and just cut off the diff and weld up the axle wholes cost a couple hundred dollars to get it done. That way the gearbox is still surported properly etc

my 2 cents worth

thats the thing, it doesnt come with the 26 sump.

no matter all is sorted as i have sourced a rb26 sump!

Do you know of any further info on this, preferably with pics of clearance issues.

Thanks
