it depends if you have a wide or narrow oil pump drive on the crank and what harmonic balancer you are using, either will be fine if you have a good balancer and a crank collar. Just make sure you put loctite on the bolts that hold the pump halves together.

why do you put loctite on the 2 halves?

i just put my tomei pump in...

buy the Jun pump. if you have a big dollar motor they are well worth it at around $1200 or so from memory. They flow a fair whack of oil though so I think what nick is getting at is if you are going to run the jun pump, you better be running an enlarged and baffled sump, and consider other oil control mods too (oil restrictor in the head feed, and add an external drain too).

Bingo :wave:

well if money is no object the Tomei is adjustable (for oil pressure) but it's another $500 or so, and in my mind is money better spent elsewhere. The jun one doesn't really give any increased pressure over the N1, but it does have vastly increased flow at any given oil pressure. I think the Jun pump is a good compromise between $$$ and performance. otherwise you end up spending so much you'll wonder why you didn't spend a bit more and dry sump it.

Go the Jun/HKS/Trust oil pump route for the big dollar, high HP, big rev RB26's.

We used an N1 pump in an RB30 conversion recently and the cast gears fractured causing a complete engine failure :O:)

Most of the top shops in the east won't use the N1 pumps anymore.

make sure u pay attention to the oil return in your engine. or if you drive it hard for a period of time it may drop the bottom end like mine did. especially running a high flow oil pump

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
