Sump and Stuff
Hey Muzza,
Thanks for your post. Looking forward to seeing your photos.
Like you i have spent many a late night scouring this forum for relevant infomation. I have pretty much got things down pat...as you say, alot of questions have been answered here... for me, it has been alot more than 70%!
This would be my 8th conversion now (from memory...others being skylines, rotary's... many turbo stuff with motec & microtech) and a source of information like this is invaluable. To all those out there planning on a conversion or simply looking to trouble shoot a problem, have a good look around, the answers are here!
Although the conversion is not yet finished a big thanks goes to all people posting technical info, especially Kdog. The wiring schematics and pin out diagrams have saved me a monster head ache. Also this site
http://www.autoshop101.com/ which has explained alot about wiring etc...
As far as my sump goes... Hmm. I would prefer a front sump (so if any one has one, I'm interested). The current one clears the front diff with about 60mm clearance and i have yet to lift the engine for the new mounts, but I'd say i'll have about 90 -100 mm when all said and done... with suspension, i figure another 50mm... but the current sump is right in line with the diff, so... for the sake of no worries, a front sump would be great!
Muzza, if you have a photo of your adapter plate, post it... I sat around with my vernier for a few days contenplating an adapter, but talked myself out of it due to time...
Cheers,
Shuey
