Given that current exchange rates have pushed the price of tomei oil pumps un near the 2k mark - I was wondering if there is any other options to upgrading the oil pump on my RB26. I have heard some talk of a CNC'd Pump Gear assembley that is larger and manufactured from better material than the stock and N1 oil pumps(??). The other thing is I assume there is more than just the gear assembley to upgrage... e.g can a stock or N1 housing be machined to accept the larger gear and so on....

I think it is a great idea if it is possible for the pump housing to suit the strengthened (possibly larger) gears. Buy a new N1 pump (or possibly standard) and replace the gears with some CNC machined ones out of some very tough alloy would be a viable option. Also, because the pump does not have an increased flow rate (like the Jun and Tomei ones) you may not have to worry so much about increasing the capacity of your sump (less $$$).

Not sure how everything fits into the pump but you would want to have an idea on the tolerances for the gears other wise you will end up that famous creek without a paddle.

Oil pump gears to suit RB pumps are not too far away....being manufactured as i type this

You are a good one for keeping secrets Paul, and releasing bits of information, haha.

- What material?

- Where did you get the design from?

- How do you know what tolerance to machine to?

I am sure there are more... that should keep everyone going.

Uh huh........

Actually they quoted me $550, just had a look at the email I had a while back.

From an email I recieved from power tune:

Yes, they are modelled on the N1 gear set so are exactly the same size.

The difference between our gear set is the material they are made from which is a pre-hardened alloy composite and as such does not require heat treatment.

As a performance part, we regret that we cannot offer warranty. We developed these gear sets out of necessity as many of our customers had broken so many of the N1 gear sets.

We made our first set in 2006. It was put into a 400kw GTR and is going strong.

A complete new Pump incuding housing ?

Or just a new set of 77mm N1 Pump Gears ?

The best thing about this idea is the option of Gear upgrades for those that bought N1 pumps and don't want to get rid of them, but are scared to use them without the upgraded gears.

I am not sure if a redesigned pump would sit with enough confidence with most people.

if you want to upgrade your pump gears but the reimax ones. they are the best. they make the gears for group A race cars etc. formerly reinik.

up till a few weeks ago they were about $550 too, bit more now with the bad exchange rate though. but they are good stuff. I know a few people who have used them in pumps both here and in japan with good results.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
