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.

if theres genuine demand i could push production of mine?

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.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
