Brad doesn't own or work for custom offroad, so the price has nothing to do with him. He is simply pointing out the work required to make the steel
unit if very high. There is a lot of labour involved hence the price. Making more doesn't make it any cheaper. If you look at the custom offroad
unit, you will see it is very time consuming to make as it is quite an intricate shape with a lot of fine welding (look at all the crush tubes welded
top and bottom).
The alloy unit is the opposite. It has very little labour, just the cost of the original casting / mould set-up. The more that person makes the
cheaper it is, and/or once the set-up costs are covered making more is cheaper. Sure they will be some machining after the casting process.
And as already pointed out, the cast unit looks pretty but has very little in the way of functional internals.

JUST FOR THE RECORD....I run a CVD sump on my Manx and have had no problems with either leakage or fitment.In fact I've had a few very hard knocks to
the sump that have been caused by concrete smashing through the bash plate and the sump has survived,where the alloy one would not have. I suggest you
do your own research and decide what you want before you jump on any particular "band wagen" as they would need to suit your appliction and not
someone elses. I WILL NOT bag anyone elses products and would suggest you do the same. As with anything from overseas,wheather it be an engine or a
light bulb,warranty is something that will not exist once it leaves foreign shores,where a local product will be warranted. Choose carefully before
you take the gamble.
Rant over...

Brad used to (jointly) own COR. He sold it (his part). So he knows why the prices are what they are, but he is no longer responsible for them and gets
nothing out of justifying why they are what they are.

Here is a pic of my COR sump. Yes its a bit shorter than the alloy one. If I remember correctly it was about 20mm.
Here's a pic of the two installed side by side. COR is on the left (a bit hard to see, but the bottom is pretty much in line with the bottom of the
exhaust., Alloy on the right.

Ok .. not ...
As Wes has pointed out I no longer own, work for or at COR / CVD. But I did the pricing on the sumps.
The one Ratbug posted is the old design, the new ones are CNC cut and much nicer. I will post a pic on the one on the Geko later as it is now
generation.
In relation to pricing, although I would not usually do it with these sumps I will post the cost. Keeping in mind this is the now cost and does not
take into account the initial design and many hours of development.
These were the COR Sump costings in Jan last year, since then steel has gone up over 25% as have labour rates.
Supply and cut of upper and bottom sump plates - $85 (in a batch of 6 as that is what they fit on a sheet)
Crush tub material $6
Stainless elbow for oil pickup $7
Acid clean and Zinc Coat - $11
Total Parts - $109
Cleaning of supplied stock sump 1/3 hr
Cutting of Stock sump - 1/3 hr
Cutting and modification to oil pickup, tig weld, test fit - 1/3 hr
Fabrication of shortened sump. presure test and clean - 4 hrs
Total Labour - 5 hrs
Hourly Rate - $88
Total Labour Cost $498
Total Sump Cost - $549
Since then labour has gone up to $99 an hr for fabrication and as said steel has gone up over 25%.
The price has been left at $550 as they are done as a fill in job.
As for the apprentice doing them .. ah nope done by a fabricator with about 15 yrs on the tools. CVD / COR have tried several times to outsource the
fabrication of the units to get costs down and have had a few guys jump at the chance. Funnily enough once they do one they see that there is no big
$$$$ to be made as they take at least 4 hrs even if you are batching them.
Anyway I have said enough on the sumps.
It is interesting to hear that there is no duites on under $1000. I flew back from the USA a few months back and the paperwork I was given was $400. I
also had a RJES sump delivered and the paperwork there again reflected $400 as the limit. I hope this has changed.
I have some L Bug parts in the mail so I hope that the limit is $1k as I hate paying tax's...
It really is horses for courses.. I am looking at a Bag@ sump for my Iguana because the Turbo Headers hang down belog the CVD one and they are not
made to fit a Turbo engine anyway due to oil cooling lines. I would want baffles in there though.

Ok a few of those don't fall into the catagory of a shortened sump and are just high capacity performance sumps but they do look very nice. Outfront
Motorsports shorten their sumps and just raise the oil level to regain capacity [ http://www.outfrontmotorsports.com/oil_pan.htm ] I won't go into the merits or pitfalls of that, it's too much of a
minefield. But they also offer sumps with "kickouts" as they call them.

Sharpbuilt sell shortened sumps which have the original baffles and surge plate in it. Uses the original dip stick and comes with a shortened oil
pickup. Costs $430 exchange.

Theres $50 worth of steel and laser cutting in that. Considering that design uses the original top 2/3rds, it's not rocket science.
There's not 5.5 hours of labour in the first one and certainly less in any after that.
We've just had a custom sump made for a commodore v6 in a rock buggy, baffled and windage tray fitted. all from scratch, ( i.e not a chopped off
original) extra heavy base, 5 day turnaround, $450 in bare metal. Guaranteed leak free.
But thats not the point, I 'm trying to avoid a modified original or a fabricated sheet metal one.
|
I wasn't gunna buy into this argument but can't help myself.
Yes Liam I know you have a shop an can fab and yes I know you are in la la land if you think you can make one the same as CVD in under 5.5 hrs ......
If you actually bothered to look at the sump you will see a few things that make it the best option on the market if you don't want some poser alloy
unit.
The CVD sump is the only sump on the market that gives more than 50mm of ground clearance back. At 85mm it is way out in front .. 35mm is a lot in the
subie converted VW world.
The CVD sump has been CAD designed and not slapped together by some apprentice in a few hours. The CAD design was done to ensure that oil capacity was
retained, factory dip stick could be used and factory oil surge issues where a thing of the past.
The CVD sump is provided exchange and done so to ensure a perfect fit. They use the top 45mm or so of the factory sump and the factory pickup which is
modified to suit. Crush tubes are added to allow the sump to bolt up easily and still allow factory engine mounts to be used.
As I hate internet wanna be's, and I know you are not one of them I will buy 10 sumps cuts off you for $50 each as per your above post. That would be
$500, so let me know when I can have them and I will pay you the $$$. You and I know that ain’t gunna happen and if it does I can onsell them to CVD
and still make money on what CVD are paying for them, even buying them in batches of 20 the cut length is such that the cost is over your $50 without
material and design time.
I even own my own CNC Cutter and would be flat out doing them for $50 even with bugger all overheads.
So u gunna put your fab skill where you mouth is ? or have I gotten it wrong and you are just another internet quoting tyre kicking 4WD fab shop that
likes to slag of prices of others saying you can do it cheaper than everyone else but never following through ???
|
Good to hear the Bug@5's arrived. I have given up on Liam from BBM sending me the sump cut outs at $50 a set. Guess he was just another internet
fabricator.

Brad,
Hold on sport, I said there's $50 worth of steel in it, not that I'd supply the steel, cut them them out and send them to you for $50. It doesn't
seem to hard too understand?
I didn't attack anyone's 'product' , just asked what the options are. Then when quizzed I said I wanted something more presentable- not half an
old sump with a box welded on.
I didn't attack anyone personally! You don't know me and I don't know you from a bar of soap- although I believe I'm developing an opinion. You
believe I'm a web-fabricator- fine. Beleive what you will. I really dont have the time or inclination to get into a dick size comparison with you.
I really dont care how well the COR pan is or isn't made- I don't want one. Hence the first post- what else is there?
You really think that CAD drawing the cutting diagram makes all the difference? It only has to get drawn once, save the file. Cut, fold and weld-
it's not rocket science.
I'm sorry if I've offended you Brad, but i don't see why folks should get abused for looking for an option to your product. I'm perfectly entitled
to spend my money somewhere other than COR- I don't like your product- get over it. I'm afraid I don't subscribe to the 'it's got to be ugly to
work well' school.

COR said it will take a few weeks and Sharpbuild said he can do it more or less straight away.
What I want to know is which sump will take the most battering?

what are you doing with the car? if offroad, then probably the COR sump. Otherwise, the sharpbuilt is probably quite adequate for anything else. If
the car is lowered, an Ali sump guard would help either.

Ive got a piece of dirt out west, like 600k's lots of creek crossings and ruts in the dirt roads so it will be punished. You should have seen under
my forrester  . Anyway I sent my sump off this
morning to Custom Off Road cause their sumps look stronger. Prolly worth the wait I reckon.
