If i was over reading the play i'd be saying that you said Tomei pumps are shit and you shouldn't buy them, being you've also kill one :D

They are not shit, there is only select evidence here and there, perhaps as paul said the material has changed, who knows what goes on in a manufacturing plant during tougher times.

Dude I dont know where you get your info But i reccomend you find a new source. The current one is making you look like an asshat.

The only oil pump I have ever purchased and or owned other than the original stocker is a Jun. This pump has survived 2 engine failures. One when the clutch ripped the engine and drivetrain apart and the other when I shat a turbo through the engine.

The oil pump has been apart and inspected and crack tested on both occasions and is now happily singing away on track duty at over 500 rwhp.

that post did 2 things...made me lol and then gave me a warm fuzzy feeling that my JUN pump may live longer than i expect it too. Nice one Fox.

Well i just went by your post

Check out the price of the Jun pump while you're at it. A fair bit less than the tomei item and I have broken about everything except the Jun oil pump to date. :D

Can be read in many ways :P

Just keeping it real Paul. I have the utmost respect for most things Jun. That oil pump and a set of Jun pistons were among the few survivors of that clutch debacle.

I would gladly reuse those slugs if i could find a tight enough block. They are standard bore and its tuff to find a block that will give us the correct piston to wall clearance.

Subsequent research led to Cosworth being the actual manufacturer of said pistons. Speaks plenty for Jun that they chose such a well respected outfit to outsource from.

Ash returns serve very close to the baseline but manages to keep the ball in play

hehe... the fact im working graveyards isn't helping... im seeing shit i probably wouldn't normally :P

Point taken, I was referring to engine components in general. As for the Jun pump it is one of the few survivors.

Ah i see, that is indeed good news then! Least it's clear for everyone (if anyone has been silly enough to be awake for nearly 24hrs like me) :D

yeah I read that the same as Ash... but I have no excuse hehe

I've had N1 pumps on a couple of engines that I've destroyed, pump was never at fault though... that said recently I've found myself short shifting at 8K to be careful I don't nudge the limiter

anyway that's hard luck Rezlo, sounds like its a killer setup, would be a wild ride... I would be checking that bottom end really carefully, fingers crossed for you

some people pay good money to see sh1t that ain't there and stay awake for days...lol...you however are making money from doing it so don't be a sook.

And as for you dirt man, Get your stick out of our pot. Go brew up your own concoction to stir.

you can bitch slap me next week when i come up to sunny QLD

my advice is buy some reimax gears for the pump you have. should be cheaper than any of the other options listed and they are good. very good. they have the runs on the board as far as I'm concerned..

I like this idea.

Have a chat to Powertune in NSW about their RB26 oil pump gear sets. Made out of somethin crazy like P20 tool steel or somethin and the same size as a JUN gear set and they can machine the stock housing to suit.

I had an N1 pump fail <2000km old

Had new gears machine, apparently by Powertune - fingers crossed

Brisbane VL guru's JW Auto are producing an external kit we are helping them design. After problems getting the last supplier to move on these JW is keen to produce a bolt on kit for us. These kits will unfortunately for some require the removal of air-con but will utilise a modified STD pump housing making them a truely 'bolt on' kit. Very easy for someone with basic mechanical skills to install and will come with ATI balancer, modified pump housing, Peterson single stage pump, CNC'd adjustable pump bracket, Gilmer drive pulley's, anodised fittings and braided lines. They wont be cheap but they will be the best 'wet' sump set-up for RB's.

Once JW provide a sample kit for us we will make them available for limited release via a group buy.

listen to paul (dirtgarage) - i spoke to my tuner about this exact subject & it was simply explained it to me like this:

"the n1 pump has a sintered steel gear which is more likely to shatter under load whereas the nitto pump has a billet gear which literally has chewed up bits of a cast iron block in a recent engine failure"...need i say anymore :banana:

I called Powertune and they dont know about/sell these gears?

who did you speak to? and rough cost?

Thanks

Speak to Dan at ERD (SAU user elite32) - he is manufacturing the same gears now

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
