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.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
