HighLUX Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Do any Rb engines come out with a mid or rear sump? Looking at a RB30 from a VL but its front sump and would need a rear sump to clear x member Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2JZKP Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 95% sure they are all front sump mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark105 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 all skylines are front sump and this is the easiest place to get rb's from. there might be some super rare other versions but i dont know of any, you will need to make one. thats what i ended up doing.

Jase Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 the answer is rb30 patrol which has a rear sump, ring 4x4 wreckers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJZ Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Yeap, Patrol or Z31 200ZR. Some of the Patrol or RD28 sumps have an extra bowl piece at the bottom which makes them really tall. Or you could cut and rotate a front sump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJZ Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Does your sump have the right angle on the bottom of it to match the lean of the motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbon Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 i guess it wouldnt have, but my engine sat quite vertical. never had any problems with it or clearance problems with the pickup etc, i didnt track the car or subject it to huge g's sideways though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighLUX Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Nothing yet just procrastinating about an engine conversion for the hilux. Crazy hoarder uncle next to the olds place has a RB30 manual VL he wants $400 for.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
