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!

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
