Been reading for years that the N1 pump just has a higher rated spring over the standard pump

I just read this

www.gtr.co.uk/forum/upload/39978-n1-oil-punp-upgrade.html+N1+oil+pump&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=5&gl=us

is this true? Or did this person pick up a Nismo pump rather an N1?

thanks!

n1 oil pump pumps around 25% more oil than standard. theyre a high flowing oil pump.

if you're using one on a high revving engine make sure you do the oil feed mod to your block as it can empty your entire sump 25% quicker :cool:

high pressure pumps increase oil pressure throughout the rev range.

you can make any oil pump have a harder spring, just tighten the big bolt on it. all this does is raises or lowers the peak oil pressure.

it works on the same principal a wastegate works on.

I was under the impression N1 oil pumps flow "LESS" than factory ones.

they are designed for constant hi revs.

and being that the RB's all have oil control problems, where by too much oil gets pushed to the head, the N1 designed for that sort of situation flows LESS.

Same goes for the N1 water pumps compared to other RB water pumps.

thats true but only for the N1 water pumps. they flow less at low rpm because they were designed mainly for vehicles that are track dedicated or vehicles that are driven hard (sustain high revs, often) and are fed a higher volume of water at higher rpm where they spend most of their time.

N1 oil pumps flow more all over the rev range. they are a 'high volume' pump which means more oil and higher pressures. i've got one in my car and my std gauge reads a little higher than what it used to before the build.

Well the thing is I've always *read* the n1 pump just has a higher rated spring. I've never came across something otherwise until recently. Even sydneykid said so himself

Higher pressure doesn't substaniated higher volume. You can have higher pressure with the same volume.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
