Hey All

just after some adivce on an oil pump for my rb20.

I think i'm in need of a new oil pump for my rb20, i was thinking of getting an n1 pump, the car is only going to make 180rwkw and will be used mainly for street but i do take it to the track about 4-5 times a year, so not huge amounts of abuse. my first question is will the n1 pump be fine for this and also will it bolt straight up to the rb20? i have been reading about crank collars will this be needed for my application?

thanks in advance

To fit a crank collar you will need to remove the entire crank, have it machined and then have the collar press fitted on.

It is possible to fit an N1 pump without a crank collar, all RB pumps are interchangable. However I would personally just go with another RB20 pump for only 4 track days per year. If you want to increase the pressure fit another washer under the relief spring. This will net you another 5-10psi.

It may also be worth investigating if RB25 pumps flow more if you're after an upgrade.

i have had a look for other rb20 pumps and i'm not after anything 2nd hand and the n1 pump was cheaper than the standard unit unless you know where i can get a new stock one from.

might have a look into the 25 oil pump

cheers

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
