Why do you want/need one, Sam?

CB make one called a thinline which is similar capacity to the normal deep sumps but half the depth.

I just have the small sump with a finer gauze filter inside..
I think they help cool the oil....
as they are a heatsink with fins..

and if You have a large engine the larger ones are good..
CB Performance make some.....
I saw one was a low profile type even higher than My small sump....

You just have to remember that they are held on with those 8 small screws.... maybe 6 small screws ??
so if they hit anything.... they are history...
Now I'm scaring Myself ......

just don't use the nyloc nuts supplied as they leak...
oil comes down the thread.... original nuts...

Ive never actually seen a pobjoy sump thing, i thought they were more like a surge control/pickup extension, but didnt really add any oil capacity??

Pobjoy, Berg deep sump, Frank Kleinig, Empi ( http://www.800luvbugg.com/shop?frame=2.17.5716 ). Everyone says that Stan Pobjoy's one works best, but with less clearance than the others.

Yep that's right...........only adds about 500ml to the oil capacity.

They are designed for stopping oil surge in motor sport, and they are one of the only ones that do!

If you want increased oil capacity then best to go for a DEEP sump, not a POBJOY ANTI-SURGE sump.

Just depends on what you are doing with the car.:thumb

yeh i think anti surge is wat im after, but i want the best ground clearance possible, thanks for the help guys

hellbugged · 4 Jun 2006, 8:46 pm

my berg ones never hung any lower than the muffler or gearbox front mount. never bottomed them out.

VWFOOL · 4 Jun 2006, 8:53 pm

wat speciific berg one have u got?

hellbugged · 4 Jun 2006, 9:09 pm

both street ones.

use the narrower ones for under 5500 rpm,(GB210)

use the wider street one for up to 8000rpm (GB210A)

difference in ground clearance between the two is not worth worrying about. width is different.

there was one on ebay, not sure if the auction has finished yet, it is the 210A

thanks mate

hellbugged · 4 Jun 2006, 9:25 pm

no probs, the main time to be warry of the sump is when rolling down off speed humps. as the back wheels roll off the hump, suspension bounce will see the sumps bottom out,

as you no doubt know, the exhaust yells out when to stop when navigating driveways, slopes etc

One that dosent LEAK LOL

bus914 · 5 Jun 2006, 8:21 pm

the Pobjoy sump is only about 1 7/8in tall. + whatever height your sump plate is.

thought i should mention that i didn't include the sump plate in the measurement. so add that on when checking clearance.
