well funds arent permitting me getting a nitto pump right now.

i have a built 25, ross metal jacket, jun collar.

whats a good way to protect the N1 pump?

car is grip raced.

cheers

had 2 N1 Oil pumps thus far, first one was attached to an engine that was dropped off a stand smashing a big crack in it, went strong for ages, never lost pressure once. replaced it once i found it obviously (long story) new one is going awesome.

engine was fully balanced, grub screwed etc.

safe to keep revs ~7500rpm?

Mine see's 8000rpm very regularly. 7.5 won't be a problem, just don't slap the limiter.

All 3 RB motors i've had built so far, all N1 pumps, all 8000rpm - no problems. I just don't limiter :)

:3some: LOL

If the limiter is set low to like 7200rpm, is it the ignition cut (i believe that's the method the stock ecu/nistune) itself that puts the stress on the pump gears?

Speaking of stock ecu, I believe it uses fuel cut. When certain amount of revs is reached, fuel gets cut and crank starts to decelerate until it reaches so called "fuel recovery threshold", RPM point at which ecu resumes fuelling, and crank accelerates again. So if you're flat on throttle by that time, i.e. sitting on the limiter, this process repeats and crank speeds up and slows down in rapid succession, hitting pump drive planes and wearing them. The (bad) solution for this is to set limit level 300-500rpm higher than rpm at which you shift to reduce your chances of hitting the limiter.

Yep.

Doesn't matter where you hit it, it's still not a good idea.

Obviously if things are turning 1000rpm less, there is less overall stress etc - but not really worth the chance.

I remember on guy a while back - using a BeeR limiter thing and smashed a pump even @ lower rpm/shooting flames!

just a theory trent. tunnel boring moves the crank off centre compared to the oil pump.

OK, no stress, was just making sure i hadnt overlooked something.

We actually tunnel bore all our engines so just wanted to know your experiences... bad or good.

What you can do is to reduce the timing and add fuel up top. the engine will not hit a limiter but it will just lean over and stop making power.

You will then change gear. All good

the other solution is dont run an n1 pump

Don't understand why people won't spend an extra $500-$700 on a better pump rather than play oil pump roulette... I will build mine to last the hard time I want to give it not baby it because I am too much of a tight ass.

No pump is safe from being destroyed if you limiter bash. Even Tomei's can be killed.

spending more is not necessarily 100% fail proof due to the pump design!

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
