RKLamb123 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 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.

pat1 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat1 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I can make the pan smaller to hold less oil too. I get all my oil for free so oil changes are no problem for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKLamb123 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Well your pan looks good. Not too much off that 1100 dollar pan I seen some where on here. Well if you can think you can make a pickup that works that will be great if not I will just start on selling this pan and pickup. On either pan I will need an extended oil pick up on yours look like it will be easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat1 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Here is one of the main links I found with it. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=147749 this won't be a problem.I'll just have to make the pick up longer. Do you still have the oil pick up off your rb25 I could just modify it. I do remember seeing this on my block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKLamb123 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I got the original which looks like a RB26 pick up then I have the one that came with the 200zr pan. The 200zr pick up looks easier to modify since it is facing the right direction and is the right size to fit my pan. With the other one I would have to make the hole bigger on the ZR pan.

stony Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Forgive me if I'm wrong but its been a while since id was in this stage of my mod but if you have the rb26 pickup, wouldn't all you need to do is build the pan around it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbon Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 ah, sorry guys, was waiting on an automated response to let me know that people had replied, didnt get one, whoops i will try to get some pics. its not that pretty but it does work one other thing you will have to look at is the dipstick - if you remove the bump from the front of the sump, the stick won't clear all the way down. theres a blank further towards the back of the block that can be turned into a new dipstick hole, or you can cut your dipstick down. it more be more useful if i'd snapped a pic of the windage tray as thats where a lot more modification had to be made (too late now). just make sure the fins clear the rotating assembly! and yeah im on zclub.org.nz, pretty sure i'm gibbon over there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKLamb123 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Forgive me if I'm wrong but its been a while since id was in this stage of my mod but if you have the rb26 pickup, wouldn't all you need to do is build the pan around it?? That what I was thinking if I was to get a custom pan, but I got this 200zr pan now. So I will either sell it or get something to work with it. I do not want to drill any holes in the side of the block or cut up the ZR pan to get them to work. I would rather sell it and get a custom pan if I had to do all that. Im lazy I rather take the shortest route possible. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat1 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I found a stock rb front sump pan today. I going to try to put another pan together this weekend. If anybody needs one please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKLamb123 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Well I just sold the RB20 pan I had. I need something made rear sump with a oil pickup coming from the stock RB26 spot. So put me down for one. PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boostmaster Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Thats a great idea to make a custom oil pan. My oil pan was damaged in shipping. I wanted to attempt this but didnt feel comfortable with my oil engineering skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RKLamb123 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'm in the middle of making a pan for RKlamb123. I'll post some pics later Hey I made the template I will scan it and send it to you tomorrow. I forgot to bring it today. I need to locate my original Oil pickup I am hoping I did not put it in the box with the RB20 pan. Lol. Hey if you look at the bottom of your block the pickup on an awd engine is about 4 1/2 to the left of yours or for better picture it lines up with the bolts on the crank cage looking at the bottom of the engine. Both mine and yours line up with those bolts. So if the pan a some depth and a budge coming off of that location I will send a pic to give you a better idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you see it lines up with the bolts on the crank cage. They both do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat1 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 here are some pics of my progress with your pan. It's coming out awesome. I have to say this is going to be alot better than than the one I made for myself. check it out Ignore the the pick up.It's the unmodified rb20 pick up.

RKLamb123 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Yeah I see it looking good. The location of the awd pickup is actually right below the motor mount if you look at the link I pasted earlier. so the stock pickup will need about 4-5 inches added. How much oil do you think this pan will hold. I was reading up on the RB20 pan and most say it did not provide enough oil. I just want to say ahead of time I appreciate your work and thank you for your efforts. Also I am putting it in a 300zx Z32. So thats what I am working with. The 200zr pan would have been perfect if I did not have a awd block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
