probably a factor....but maybe not the only one in rb blocks.

since they are cast, have a full girdle and the crank is factory forged and nitrided...they are pretty strong compared to many motors despite being a long 6 cylinder. this is supported by the fact they almost never spin main bearings.....

this is what breaks the oil pump.

a good read on whats happening :crankshaft harmonics

That's what said a while ago... It's going on without a doubt.

They are a I4. Not a longer I6.

Taking a wild stab here but a I4 is not going to have the crank movement a I6 has, especially due to weight and so on.

Nor are the forces/pressures there especially if hitting limiters and so on with all that extra spinning around.

And it was met with...

Torsional vibration and harmonics are generaly worse in an I4 due to firing order and cyl sequence, also one of the reasons most I4's have ballance shafts to try help NVH

Large crank movement = toasted bearings, SR20's run main bearings pretty easy if not 100% dead on ballance when running over 400wkw yet dont break oil pumps running a near identical drive setup & dimensions to the RB... Rb on the other hand comes out with bearings looking like brand new yet oil pump is scrap metal, The RB pump is driven not even 3-4mm from No:1 main bearing, pump gets damaged from movement but bearing isnt touched?

There is no way to have rotational vibration / whip without it running out of center.

Yes Rezlo an inline 6 is dynamically balanced, so no issue there.

:D

Time to revisit?

That correlates with the "a good harmonic balancer will save your oil pump" theory i've heard stated on here.

every time theres an oil pump thread i cut and paste this page from ati.. sums it all up. stock balancers wont be suficiant to keep a "stock" oil pump alive, not evan a trust or jun either.

on another note, our race supra (2jz) has a alloy crank pully with zero dampening, looks like a water pump pully.. its not blown the oil pump either. and it hits the limmiter pretty hard. just goes to show how superier the toyota oil pump drive system is..

ive tried to make them put a good balancer on, but with no sucess lol.

Group buy was removed @ the request of the creator.

"Well considering theres a few guys not real confident and wanting to see some testing results, this group buy can be closed for the mean time."

Fair enough too IMO. A G/B that should have started once there was some actual testing for sanity's sake at least. ;)

Whats happeneing with the gears? can't seem to find the group buy- probably blind i'll have another look.

Yes they are still being made. I closed the GB thread to follow the forum rules ;). I'll put up another one when i have some 'testing results'

Anyone have any pics of the inside of the NITTO Pumps ? - I would really like to see what makes it special, other than what is said about it.

I am a little interested now and like many others, I was simply scared into facing the fact that I would have to eventually buy a Tomei Pump for my ongoing build, but if there is an alternative, I am open to reveiwing it.

Thanks,

Allan

i can send you a photo of the nitto pump that ate cast iron if you like...your e-mail address?

Thanks.

Although THIS does interest me, I am still waiting patiently for the AUS 'Tomei' replacement :)

So to whoever is doing it.....Get on that CNC and make some magic.....lol

JPC in Melbourne already produce N1 style replacement OEM pump gears if that is what interests you. http://www.jpc.com.au/ The Nitto pump gears are made from superior material from those though...i would rather not risk it with any material other than Nitto or an external pump.

I was on Nissansilvia forums earlier and came across the powertune gears (again)

http://hardtuned.net/forums/index.php?app=...ttach_id=177301

made out of P20

hows it compare to JPCs 4340 gears? pretty cheap at $350

I am still at a bit of a loss when it comes to these 'Nitto' pumps.....

Where are they made ?

Who makes them ?

Who is Nitto ?

Info is in short supply. Website ? Manufacturer Info ?

Unfortunately these are not a great deal compared to Tomei anywhere else other than Aus/NZ......

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
