WizardBlack Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 open to doing other mods i need to get some info on how you guys would want them done. Well, I may have an RB here shortly, so I'm a fresh customer. (feels weird to be on the other end of these conversations ). I guess a wider sump with baffles makes the most obvious 'upgrade option', no? If someone is getting into making a cost effective option for RB swaps, then I won't need to. Sending you a PM.

WizardBlack Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hmm, they must be busy; they have not responded as of yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylemer Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Kurt is very busy, but he is also very serious about modding these pans, which could potentially save some people a lot of money. You can vist his site, http://www.Kmotorwerks.com, where you can find his number. I have talked to him and he told me that he does not get on the forums as often as he wants. I suggest giving him a call or email, if you need more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WizardBlack Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 the board only lets you post one message ever thirty minutes to the other person waiting on a rply i will try not to forget you in the hectic day ahead. Depends on your post level, seniority or perhaps membership. Mine is every 30 seconds, IIRC. To all, they did get back to me already, so they're on the ball.

seriousracer Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 well wizardblack offered up something i have touched on. and i need to sit down and think about it. different options and cost of the options. really it is not much to make the sump deeper. to extend the pick is not that hard. making a newer pick up and screen ok a little harder. adding larger left and right sumps not hard but adding trap doors and such does step up the difficulty. dry sump pan? can be done and should be done on any really serious engine (my .02) making a an alloy pan is not a big deal a little more time and a call to have the machine shop to blow out a few flanges. should be able to do one around 600.00 once again it depends on how elabrate (?) you want it. some of things have to be done time and materials.

WizardBlack Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I would say that at some levels, many guys that would actually have enough of a grasp on all the various features of a 'really nice' wet sump pan to dictate everything to you will probably already have a welder and go at it themselves. If I were ye, come up with the econo-pan (cut and flip) along with a model with expanded wings for more capacity and then the one with capacity and some amount of the other lateral-g doodads. The rest of the stuff could be one-off for a specific customer. Maybe some guys that have put things together already could go into detail as to what is best for the RB. From my (relatively weak) RB-fu, street cars are OK with the cut/flip, but roadracers need trapdoors and more capacity on the sides (based on threads I've read here). I've also researched Aussie sites and most people agree dry sump is best for all out racing, but is horribly expensive. RIPS on here does that and quoted $10k NZ (IIRC) for a system. Have ye some sample photos of other pans you've done? Pics sells product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKLamb123 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Man those RIPS pan are nice but hell I cannot see paying that much for a oil pan. Maybe a turbo but not a oil pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pics sells product. i see, good thinking... and working on it. basic cut and flip with the oil pickup is 350.00 plus shipping. adding wings for more volume of oil and trap doors i am figuring out. will let u guys know by the way thanks to all for your interest!

WizardBlack Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I should hopefully have an RB25 pan shortly to compare. I don't know if they are different to the RB20 or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
