Furthermore everyone should dry sump without question regardless of their needs or requirement as risk is not good.

problem with a dry sump setup is cost - for something decent you are looking at up to 7k

Ofcourse every oil pump is a risk. But we dont log on here to see every couple of months a comment about how my std oil pump just killed my motor, or my (insert brand name here) pump just shat itself...its always the N1 pumps that come up either on here, or in conversation/passing comment or someone at the track blows one up.

Its obvious the risk is higher using one, its virtually the point of this thread. Hearing one bad story should be enough. It was for me, except ive been exposed to multiple, whether on here or at the track. Im sure alot of people who have seen this thread will agree with myself and the others who share the same opinion about N1 pumps.

Its simple. You get whatever puts your mind at ease and fits in with your budget.

Dry sumps all round for everybody.....hooray :P

guys loosing sleep over the pumps go and buy the reinik (edit reimax... still getting used to name change) gears. they are very highly regarded in japan and folks smarter than me have been using them in aus with great success. they may not be jumping up and down telling everyone about it, but the price is right, they have the research behind them to back up their product and that should be the end of your oil pump problems.

If you're spending 7k on a dry sump setup you're spending too much.

nitto would be my choice, crd has been exposed to all oil pumps available and i trust the opinion of a man who started modifying gtr's when we were all still playing with matchbox cars and smashing them with hammers to simulate an accident

dry sump for me is overkill for a weekend warrior

Where are these available from?

I still think the best fix would be a splined collar/gear.

Cheapest Reimax gear set i can find so far is 670 au + del. through Greenline.

It probably is best value for $$$ if you are planning on taking your engine to pieces or in the build stage.

Lookin forward to these new gears!

would they work on a stock pump? or does the stock pump not provide enough pressure?

say compared to a n1?

They can be made to suit a stock pump, but these first ones are going to be for the N1 pump.

Pump selection should be left upto the engine builder.

I to had a n1 let go on e and decided to go external pump

i have had no probles since and thrash it of limeter all day at the track and the cost was not to bad

$1000 for peterson single stage pump

$200 for mandrel for the crank

$200 for speedflow fittings

and 1 day in the gargae making a bracket for the pump

This is the way to go imo

That's under valuing it a bit to say the least. Add another $600 and ur closer to the mark you woulda spent. (not saying u didnt spend that but just adding this so everyone doesn't jump to the conclusion it only costs $1400 to do a complete external oil pump setup)

Shane, are there different thickness N1 gears? I remember getting confused when I last looked at the Reimax ones

There are indeed my good friend. So what we'll have to do is the person after a set will have to specify what thickness gears they are after.

Cool, I'll try get my oil pump off this weekend and confirm thickness.

FWIW, here are some parts numbers that I came up with and pricing for an external oil pump kit. I only really needed to find someone to make a bracket for the pump itself, most of the parts are there minus the hosing and belt. Might be a couple of extra fittings required depending on where / how you wanted to mount it.

Some of the prices may have changed since I did it (about 4 months ago)

JWAuto are doing CNC brackets...their work is incredible...the same CNC machinist 888 Racing use. Top shelf stuff. They are doing the brackets in a kit only though...im doing a group buy on them as soon as they are ready. I saw one of their VL CNC'd rocker covers to suit single cam engines running roller rockers...porno! Ill see if i can get a pic.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
