(goldfish) Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Is there a cheaper solution to the oil sump/pump problems with this swap? All I could find was the dry sump option. Although nice, it's kinda out of my price range I think. It would be in an S130 if that makes much difference. Still kinda dreaming, for now..

Guest TeamNissan Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I looked into the swap for a while and I think the CHEAPEST solution is to leave the pan/pick up stock. Just mounting it how its fits with the sump in front of the crossmember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.I.jonas Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I'd say that if you are doing a bmw v-12 swap and your first concern is one of saving money-you may want another swap option lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 goldfish>>>>> what sort of power levels are you looking for? or are you just looking to be "different"? Ive got quite a few parts for L28ETs and I know how to do megasquirt. I also have some experience in porting L series heads..... and I know a guy that makes custom intake manifolds, for $500, maybe a bit more, not much tho.

Well it looked like the dry sump would over double the entry fee on the swap. V-12's look great, and for now 300hp sounded easy out of one and should be enough. What ever route I go, planning first is rather important to make it to the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
