20b/13b-re mount plans for FC

project86 · 06-09-2010, 05:17 PM

not speaking from experience here cause i obviously havent done anything yet... but it seems that making spacer for the sway bar should be a pretty straight forward affair. Oilpan on the other hand does not sound so easy.. but if your name is Brian... and youre half robot hahaa.....

I do everything myself and I don't consider it low buck. There's DIY, and there's ghetto, and there's bought not built.

Think 1 1/4" AL bar stock drilled out and countersunk to bolt to the framerails, then two holes tapped ~1" farther forward to bolt the swaw bar mounts to. The LS1 guys use them, Granny's makes them I think.

The purpose of this thread was to find out what plans were in the public arena before I went reinventing things.

Build your own pan from AL, I thought that was clear. I never said anything about dry-sump

Heh

stock

At the end of that thread patman gives his blessing for people to copy it, so I've sent him a PM.

On the topic of the oil pan, I read that as 1 1/4" because I'm retarded. Either way moving the sway bar forward is a much better solution for the time being.

That's what was in my head when you said new oil pan.

Ok does anybody have pictures where they mount their oil cooler and want waterpump housing do they use?

moving swaybar to the front is not option for drift car ;(
i am already hitting swaybar at full lock and with swaybar more to the front it will be worse..

For my 20B FC i installed z32 swaybar last week, took me half the day to get it mounted, its 27mm, clears stock oil pan no problem and so far it works no problem (did only 800km street driving - breaking engine in)

And its no worse than Racing Beat swaybar i had before, when it comes to be in the way of wheels at full lock (spacers for tie rods installed, in steering rack, more turn for drift competition....)

hIGGI needs to start his own 20B thread...
