05plsrt4 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Are you also planning on making an external pump bracket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Are you also planning on making an external pump bracket? ^^ My next question Maybe where the p/s pump goes on the block.. (some day hope to have a/c) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05plsrt4 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I myself have been on a hunt for a bracket that retains the compressor but have not had any luck finding one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCchris Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 No idea yet on pricing, I'm putting in the money and time for now, I'm making it at my machine shop. Here is what it looks like today. Let's see, $250 for the aluminum, you're probably going to be in the CNC better part of a day, that's another $480 @ $60/hr. After running the first one and optimizing your machining processes might get it down to 1/2 day in the CNC! You have already put in several hours (days) capturing geometry, generating a CAD model, writing code to run your CNC, one offs ain't cheap! chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synthtk Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Also interested in the price of the pan, and possibly bracket. Already have a 4 stage pump and other pieces, just have been hunting for a pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline240z Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) Hi Chris, The material is pretty close. You're off on the production side if there is. There is no machine shop that will be able to make a pan like this in half a day, even though you have to make a production run. I think realistically it will take a full day to make one of these. I don't foresee making lots of them. It took me days to measure it up, design and draw in CAD and program it. It will probably take three days to finish the first piece. You're right that it won't be cheap. This pan will have three -12 AN fittings coming out from the driver's side. Raw Brokerage sells theirs for $1250 and that one is nowhere as complex as mine. I will guess it will be somewhere in the $1500 to $1600 range. Rick Edited December 25, 2014 by RB26powered74zcar fixed image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyline240z Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 I will make one for my pump, it will be a billet piece right to my Auto Verdi 6 stage pump, not sure if other pumps will fit the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Rick, Can you please post a link to the pump you are making the bracket to fit your RB? If we choose the same pump, will you make extras for the guy's that want them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline240z Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 I think a billet mount bracket should be a custom one off for their own car. My pump was $3000 from Auto Vardi. If you pick one up from Ebay, they are all different sizes and configurations so it's hard to make mounts for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline240z Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Finally finished the bottom side of the pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Awesome work. Wish i had room for a dry sump. i have the pan now known as the mckinney and have about 1/32 of room between it and the rack. can't shim engine up anymore either.

EF Ian Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Might be interested in one in the future, don't loose the cnc file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theczechone Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Great work! Have you considered direct mounting the pump to the pan. Check out Dailey Engineering in CA http://www.daileyengineering.com/home/oil-pans/ I have used Bill's pumps in the past and they are very reliable. When i have designed pans for work, i found that it was nice to machine channels into the pan to direct oil to the scavenge ports of the pump. Much easier than packaging -12 lines.
