So, are you going to give me the goss on tight ass billet oil pump gears? This new turbo of mine is meant to be effecient at 1.8bar (on Evos anyway) so think I may throw an oil pump on the old girl before I give her E85, and 28-30psi :) I cant have the Ford running more boost than my Nissan :thumbsup:

flow is the same, and the pressure is regulated by the spring. A N1 pump will gave you 110psi oil pressure, i'm going to play with some springs to get it around 75psi. The only way to increase flow is to put bigger wheels in, which needs a diferent housing. The gears just make a N1 pump strong. I've got no idea where my gears are sourced from, but they are just a billet version of the N1 gears (N1 is powerdered steel)

Just finished reading this, it took me literally a week of afternoons... Now to finish Damo's bloody thread...

Awesome build guys, some interesting ideas and a lot of hard work, good luck with the new engine :)

The engine finally fired into life last night. I only ran it long enough to make sure it had good oil pressure. I'll take it for it's first run-in run on Friday night. The shocks are still off getting revalved, so we found some odds and ends laying around, and put them in the car so I can run it in.

Damo has modified the navigators seat, it's now about 60mm lower that it was before.

I took the car out to Baskerville on the weekend and did 60 - 70 laps of testing, and shock setup. The super sump appears to have done the job, as oil pressure was consistant all day. The only problem was oil temp, but i've already got a cooler sitting ready to install.

The revalving of the shocks has made the car heaps better, I have so much more confidence in what it's doing now.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
