    Morosso make one too. Some of the cheaper cast ones have been known to be porous

    Personally, I'd go for a branded one.

    After hearing the stories of poor castings in the cheaper copies, why bother? A Greddy one isn't that much IMO, £230 or so, and you know it's going to be spot on.

    I went for a Greddy sump because i could afford it at the time and the odd porous casting story swayed me to spend more,glad i did now its well designed and good quality, adds about 0'75 of a litre extra capacity

    sorry to jump on a thread, but I lost my last engine to (Im assuming) oil surge and a tired bottom end.

    Putting a new one back together and between accusumps, baffled sumps, oil coolers and dry sump kits Im very confused!!

    Stage 2a with a little track, bit more drag, no drifting (yet!) if this makes a difference!

    I`ve had a rubbish leaking one. Got a Greddy now. I would still test it prior to fitting, you can use some spent oil or rubbish halffrauds. I ilke the sensor hole and that you get all the oil out.

    I have cheap greddy copy sump and wouldn't buy one again given the choise. I had to do a lot of work to get it to fit.

    They reduce oil temps and surge, how is that a waste of time?
