Interesting read here. Can anybody show or clearly tell me what the difference between NA VL oil pump and turbo VL oil pump?

I have always thought they were the same. Can anybody show picture of RB25 oil pump gears?

thanks in advance.

My mind is going crazy trying to sort out what oil pump to use as I am building an engine for RB30ET SOHC.

The 30ET oil pump has increased flow rate compared to the NA version. From memory, the NA pump gears are of the order of 9 or 10mm wide compared with the turbo version, which are 11 or 12mm wide or so.

You should use a 30ET pump.

cheers mate. Ive puled down original turbo motor and compared oil pump with NA oil pump and were the same. cant work it out.

Does anybody reading this have turbo VL oil pump they want to sell? please pm me

alternatively

What is involved to fit rb25 oil pump to rb30 crank? i have been told straight bolt on but was wondering if a crank collar is required. what do the flats look like on RB25 oil pump?

Must have been changed at some stage (or the engine was actually NA......wouldn't be the first time). I've got both types and the turbo pump is definitely designed to flow more oil.

The NA rb30 oil pump was only used in the VL commodore series 1 NA's. once the VL went to series II ALL the engines had the turbo series pumps.

But if the crank has a narrow oil pump drive...it would only still have 8mm of contact. It wouldn't matter which pump you used.

Id prefer to use a pump which mated to the entire face of the drive...not just a small portion of it...this in my opinion is part of the whole RB oil pump saga and why Nissan extended the drives on later crankshafts.

Yer but you can machine a collar on the crank nose of the RB30 and use a 20-25-26 pump, what i did. worked mint. JACK BRO'S in underwood QLD set it all up for me.

On those picture of the VL,33, N1 and jun pump's, the gear drive itself isn't the worry here, its the overall surface area on the crank id be worried about when turning your engine to and above 7000RPM.

The more surface area, the better the hold, strength and overall reliability of the pump will have.

i agree as most of the failings occur due to the lack of crank surface area with the oil pump (this is what i have been told by a few mechanics)

i have my jun oil crank collar which probably has about 15mm depth - i compare this to the key depth on the standard crank which is only half of that...i wonder how nissan underengineered this at the time :(

      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

      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!
