Sump guard

[Calsonic_R32]

To cut long story short I just had the alignment done today @ Road & Race

Peter told me that my oil sump is hanging a bit low (?) and already got some scratches on it

he suggested me to get a sump guard otherwise the sump might hit the ground when my car is running on ripple strips...

I didn't have this problem with B18C before and I am running the same ride height...is the K20A hanging a bit lower than the B18C?

is there any off the shelf solution for my application (K swapped DC2)?

Yes Nelson the K series sits lower then the B series. On my car the lowest point is my sump!

You can get a guard protector or get your sump shortened in height and extend the length which I got quoted around $400 depending where you go to or you could just go dry sump setup!

I can only imagine how low your car is if your scratching your sump already!

[Calsonic_R32]

get your sump shortened in height and extend the length

do you mean custom made the whole sump bottom?

nah my car is not that low at all

[SPL_K]

Yeh custom make the whole bottom sump. Get another sump or use your current one send to a shop that does custom fabrication work and get them to weld you a new sump together! From what I've heard ProConcept is using this setup on their EKK20!

plus the K20 is cast alloy isnt it? this cracks where a steel sump dints...

Just dont ride the ripple strips. Esp over the dog leg @ Oran Park.

I am worried that I will lose control if I don't run over the ripple strips @dog leg

Think positive. If you don't do it on Sunday you'll be safe.

i drove over two gutters in a row in my old dc2r and all it did was dint the sump a little and scratch it up. didnt even affect the tyres/wheels
