well....why did the pump you see die? I am yet to be convinced there is some basic issue with n1 oil pumps.

they get used in lots (most?) builds?

those motors get treated very hard (otherwise why did the owner spend 5-15K to build it?)

anything goes wrong in the bottom end...first place a bit goes to is the tight clearance oil pump. put any shit through it and it breaks.

once the pump breakes due to the other problem the whole motor dies very soon after.

first thing you find when you pull a motor apart is a broken oil pump.

bottom line is....finding the *real* reason a motor dies is very very complex. oil pumps do not often die on their own but they are very often the first symptom of the real problem

It's usually always the same story......

No aftermarket harmonic balancer and/or rev limiter pump shock. This pump died from both at launch......broken inner gear.

as long as you dont smash the limiter you will be fine

heres one with gears broken

http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/104505-n1-oil-pump-tomei.html

have a look around on the site you'll find more, and race pace had a couple break gears due to limiter bashing

i only got the tomei one cause im paranoid and a dry sump setup for me is over kill

just read that thread in the uk, it had only done 625km and looks like it had other issues that caused the failure.

been limiter bashing(7500) mine for three years now, hope it holds out for another three.

that....or you could give them a call and ask? 02 9648 4264

JD74 - as per duncans post & my original suggestion a lot earlier in the piece...pick up the phone & call the above number.

reason not many people know about this pump is because it is tried & proven, simple as that.

who cares if it was even made in india or vietnam at the end of the day, it is a great pump :)

if it can chew through bits of cast block that should compel you right?

My N1 pump has eaten something (scoring on the gears, probably left over thrust washer ;)) and not broken. Not happy with the wear on the drive face though. Personally I think it's a clearance issue as to why they break, aswell as others. If you look through that linked thread you'll find that the guy that broke the Jun pump was also using a beat up stock balancer.. poor drive clearances and shitty balancer = broken pump? seems like we're going over the same ground again..

JD74 - why dont you do the smart thing?

ring/email CRD and fken ask rather than harp on like a child?

Well, because up untill now NO ONE seemed to even know where they came from......even after I asked a few times.

Harp on like a child ? gimme a break.

I saw user CRD reading this thread and STILL not jumping in. What gives ?

Is CRD really NITTO ? Are NITTO parts really 'Jun Jobber Parts' that are resold under the NITTO brand ? .....sure looks that way to me.

HHmm....people are 'sourcing pumps through CRD'.....

I still can't get a straight answer and what's even more funny, the people that purchased these pumps don't even know for sure.

People are quick to jump to their...ehem...'THEIR' defence, when in reality......noone even knows who THEY are.

Thanks for the info......and thanks for calling me a child.

And the Google comment ? IT'S THE 21ST CENTURY. IF YOU CAN NOT BE FOUND ON GOOGLE, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG.

I'm done.

Hey mate I feel your pain! Sometimes it can be like getting blood out of a stone...

FWIW

According to Godzilla Motorsport Nitto (Nitto Performance Engineering) is Croydon Racing Developments (CRD) own brand

found that with GOOGLE :D

Thanks man....... Your Google-Fu is stronger than mine ;)

I'm buying a Reimax anyways.....because it takes more than an upgraded Gear and a Jun Pump Housing to get my money.

  • 2 weeks later...

Ive just spent a few hours reading every bit of this post and it was extremly informative

Problem was I was chasing info and opinions on the Reimax complete oil pump (not just the gears) and as soon as someone mentioned it ....... no more posts, what a crack up, I pissed myself laughing

Anyway what do people think? http://www.reimax.co.jp/pages/products/lower-area/index.html

The company certinly has the credentials

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
