    Rb oil pan mods

    Im not too familiar with the RBs so you say your pan old 7.5 gallons of oil. So what would be the reason for wanted that much more oil. Excuse my ignorance but I been a VG man all this time and no one ever discuss doing anything to the pan or increasing the oil capacity in those.

     

     

    Any engine uses both engine coolant and engine oil to cool the engine so if you can have more oil available the cooler the engine will run. It acts as a oil cooler. And I wanted to have more oil in the pan so I would not run in to any oil starvation problems. Let say at any time there is 2-3 qt of oil in the engine so that means there in still 4-5 qts of oil in the pan. Thats alot of oil still in the pan and that means that there is less chance of oil starvation when braking and high g turns or just giving it hell. I have been giving my engine hell with no oil psi problems.

    Yeah I have a RB25 but it was one of those that came with awd and the oil sump location is the same as a RB26. So I cannot just attached the 200zr pickup like I read in some of the post. So I either need a pickup that will work or a pan and a pickup. I figure I could always sell the 200zr pan and pickup for what I paid easily. The problem is I have a 300zx so I need a rear sump pan so I can sit it as far back as possible so I can still have AC and not cut up the nose bar to fit a radiator.

     

    So basically I need a pickup that is straight from the original location on a awd block to the spot on the rwd block. I am trying to not do an external pickup or cut up the pan to get this to work.

     

    Hey what part of Georgia do you live in Im in SC just outside of Columbia.

     

     

    I'm in Woodstock,Ga which is 30 minutes north of atlanta. If you can get me some pics of the pick up location I could see what I can do. I can build anything you want.

    Pat,

     

    How much will you charge for the job?

     

     

    It all depends on the price of the sheet metal. I would need you to send me your old pan and pick up off your rb. I cut the old pan up and use the flange. You can see what I did in the pics above. I can start the job as soon as I get the pan. I would say I could duplicate the one in my pics for around 350-375.00 with a week or less turn around.

    So how much would you charge to make another. Lol. Also will this pan and pickup work with a RB26 in the original oil pickup location. I have a 300zr pan and pickup, but my engine was a RB25 awd so the pickup needs to modified. I was thinking about just selling what I have and buy a upgrade pan with pickup.

     

     

    I would love to build another, I have a brand new tig welder and plasma I would like to use. What engine do you have? I have a extra rb20 block I can use it to mock up the pan and pick up. I know the rb26 is different.

    Here is some pics of mine I made. I was told it wasn't going to work but it works great. I used the stock rb20 oil pan flange and made the rest. build cost was nothing..

     

    It holds 7.5 qts of oil and oil psi is perfect during high g turns and high speed to all out braking.

    Same side inlet & outlet end tank radiator

    Cutting the hose outlet and moving it won't work. The coolant will take the path of least resistance. A radiator with the outlets on the same side have the water flutes going top to bottom vs from side to side as what you would find on a radiator with outlets on opposite side. Or they have baffles built in the radiator causing the water to flow the correct way.
