 if you send them your items to shorten, and they return them to you. I'm not happy about their turn around time. One would think that they would have some pre-mades on hand? In the mean time one must sit with no pan and sump while your's is in transit and being retyro-fitted by Kennedy, when I spoke with them they wouldn't even give me an estimted turn around time? Heck it could takes weeks, or longer?????????

If any one knows where to find the shortened sump for the subaru engine could you please post it. I have searched like scooby doo after the crew split up and have came back empty. Any reply is greatly appreciated. Thanks all |

you could try Brad. He's making shortened sumps that hold the stock oil capacity for $440 exchange per this post http://www.aussieveedubbers.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=24449 and http://www.customoffroad.com.au/partFull.asp?partid=30  Also Mike Sharp of Sharp Built. He was going to have alloy ones made up that were shorter than stock but the same capacity. I don't know if that eventuated. http://www.sharpbuilt.com.au/dunebug.htm If money is no object then go for the fully baffled alloy race version from MRT Rally. http://www.mrtrally.com.au/shop/ The product code is suwe120a , but at $1079.50 + GST I'll have to wait 'till I win the lotto!

The alloy design he was doing was for a 3" shortened sump with the same capacity, but that has now been canned because other people have had problems with bearing failure. Not sure if he is eventually going to get an alloy 2" shortened one made up. |

Do they do a comprehensive 5gear trany fitting service too? Porsche or Berg style? may get myself one of those sumps -just occured to me though that its a EA82T sump that I need not an EJ -do you know if they're making one for the EA82? thanks. |

 Yes they do a 5-speed-trans conversion, its a Porsche 901 or a 914.But it is too expensive I think. If you want a 5- speed-trans go for a Porsche 915. I talked to some Porsche folks and read in Porsche websites. They all said that the 901/914 boxes are too weak and even Porsche 914 drivers installed the 915 box. And no they only got the sump for the ej- engines. But you can shorten the original sump 2" and widen it at the bottom. I did it to mine loosing only 0.7 liter oilcapacity. A friend of mine rides his bug like that for more than 4 years without any problem, even in summer.

I have the 5 cm (2") shortened sump from Bugat5speed in Germany http://www.bugat5speed.de/cms/content/view/30/53/ The owner of the shop is German but communicates very well in English via email, took about 2 weeks from payment to arrival. |

Some folks had asked about the Bugat5speed Sump. Here are some pics:     Some info on the product: Details: -Works with EJ 2.0, 2.2 and 2.5 blocks -The sump is sandcasted like all our other parts. -The capacity of oil is 4,25 litres (thatīs only 0,25 less than original). If you shorten an original sump you loose about a 1 litre. -It is very stabile (you can put a hydraulic lifter under it and lift the car), so nothing happens if the car is low and the sump hits the floor). If you have the original sump, thatīs virtually impossible. -The cooling properties are much better than with the original one. Water temperature is reduced by about 10 degrees Celsius, if you switch from original to the bug@5Speed sump. -The pick-up tube inside the sump must be modified (shortened). But thatīs no big deal. Anyone who does such a project will easily handle this task. -The original dipstick can be used, but must be shortened a little. If interested, feel free to contact me: Bugat5speed@yahoo.com VR Alex US Sales Associate |
