well....that video looks crazy but in fact those g forces are what we are putting through these motors on the race track. and with a wet sump

its a great example of how extreme things really are.

RB N1 vs stock SR20,

both outer pump gears are identical in OD,

pump drive on the SR20 is about 3mm smaller than the RB, which means the actual inner pump gear on the SR20 is 3mm more beefy, probably why it doesnt crack...

SR20 has a 2mm narrower gear due to reduced oil volume needed.

And its got nothing to do with power, there are RB N1's failing 150-200wkw earlier than SR20's running stock pumps.

argh... that sucks about the N1 oil pump. I'm also running one on my GTR, which I think I'll change to a Nitto pump at some point, hopefully soon.

PS: Hi! from a fellow South African :D

If we only had the factory dry sump with this kind of testing...

what a great find - thanks for sharing!

2 q's:

- does the 09 porsche have a dry sump from factory or is this a race spec engine?

- how do they simulate the torque in those gear changes? it sounds like its running through each gear around a track (some type of dyno?)

awesome stuff :down:

Factory dry sump as most 911's have been

It is on a moving engine dyno

Where from?

My advise, change the pump before it breaks... seems to be more a case of "when" rather than "if".

Yep factory dry sump on all ...

And the dyno loads the engine accordingly to simulate the loads/throttle that would be applied when in that particular gear around the circuit...& the fact that they can couple it to simulate cornering g forces as well is really cool.

Im also in two minds what to do with the N1 pump that is on my engine..not exactly confidence inspiring.

I think it should be renamed the russian roulette pump ;)

so we need someone to machine up some splined collars and gears for the pump :D

I'm actually at my machinist tomorrow picking up something anyway so i'll discuss it with him and get back with a possible outcome.

I was just re-reading some mags last night before i went to bed, and i noticed in the article on the "700 Hp GTS-T" Cola coloured with carbon bonnet in HPI 102 . At the starts it stated he fitted an N1 oil pump. Just at the end of the article, it says, "As we went to press, we learnt ..blah blah blah ... the oil pump broke in two places !"

Thought id share

Makes you wonder if something has changed in there material composition or tolerances or something. Has anyone who has been racing or building with N1's for years seen this years ago, or was there a time they seemed to be ok...

I think Greg said he used to use them until the recent failure ?? Makes you ask whats changed..??

Gary

I was under the impression that the early N1 pumps were fine (I believe mine is an early one), but it was rumoured that a couple of years ago production moved somewhere else and then lots of breakages started to happen?*

*may or may not be true

On the gears changing, I know there are some companies in China who are producing a lot of powdered metal parts, maybe Nissan started sourcing them from there? Whatever the case, I won't use them any more, or if someone wants to use one, it's their problem if it breaks.

I'm getting some info on the gear splining, should have some news in the next week or so about a billet spline drive gear set to fit the standard housing. I've also been cadding up a new front housing that uses an external pump, probably a single stage petersen one but doesn't get in the way of the accessory drives or anything else.

And Shane, what are you up to now.... i thought you sold all your stuff !

I'm selling up but that doesn't mean i have to stop developing parts :)

A bit of conflict of interest here but i'll update this post when greg gets back to me.

i like that, sounds promising. i'm happy with wet sump so long as the dam oil pump wont break!!! billet splined would be well worth any cost...

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
