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!

    • 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.
