For a normal 550-550whp RB26 twin turbo ( so no point to overrev to 9-10k) What would be the best bang for the buck for a early 90 wo are prone to have oil pump problem ?

I was thinking:

N1 oil pump but I would need to set my rev limiter to 8k...

Standard oil pump with upgraded reimax gears.

ive got a custom oil pump going in mine.. my engine will have a lil more power than urs, ill get the full details when i get to my work pc.

i think for application the jun or tomei one would be sweet buddy.

No point revving the RB26 past peak power @ 6800rpm.

I currenctly have my rev limiter set at 7.4k. I'm just wondering if a N1 pump can take abuse up to 8k SAFELY ? or at 8k this pump is at his max capacity? Like anything.. I prefer to have some ''play'' aka slightly overkill.

N1 is 250 shipped

and I can get a N1 with rebuilted reimax gear for 600 shipped..

Just wondering if I really need to pay 350$ more for a 500-550whp limited at 7.4-8k ?

Sounds like you have a stock bottom end, given you have the older oil drive etc.

Which then would worry me why you'd try to run 370-400rwkw through that bottom end.

Regardless of the oil pump, trying to push that much is going to end in tears regardless of what you do with the pump

Nevermind this issue. One thing at a time. I will be rebuilding my RB26. right now, I'm thinking about the oil pump.

nitto oil pump $1300 same as all the other more expensive jap pumps and yeh ull need a crank collar but if your rebuilding then just get an r33 gtr crank so u dont ned the collar

So why are you buying bigger oil pumps on a small collar now then? IMO thats a more important issue any anything else.

Why not just do the smart thing and peg the power back a bit until you rebuild?

Having the small snout - as i said earlier - makes you more likely to bust stuff regardless of the pump you decide to use.

you could spent upwards of $1700 on a Tomei pump, for nothing!

And it's the reason Nissan clearly changed the design within a matter of years!

So your saying I should only change my crank instead of changing my oil pump ?

I'm saying changing the oil pump is not going to magically save your stock motor @ those power levels and you will still potentially have a failure due to the smaller drive.

Especially trying to pump 400rwkw through it.

If it was 300rwkw, no problem. Most R32 GTR motor owners know they are on borrowed time even @ that power level (for one or another reason).

I wouldn't buy a $$$ pump now, just run the motor till it dies and then follow your rebuild plan.

I understand your point. I was wondering because I saw on a local forum someone selling his N1 pump with reimax gear for 600$ ( and it might be cheaper since i might buy other stuff from him). Considering a reimax kit is worth like 700$+ the pump. I think it's a good deal. It doesn't mean I will be fitting the pump right now. I will when the rebuilt times will come. ( might be next winter, I'm slowly purchasing everything I need).

thanks for your advice.

ur best off just waiting alittle longer and buy new. if i was spending the money to build an engine (which i already have) i wouldnt wana do it half ass and put in second hand parts.

sure it might take a little longer to save and buy but at least u will have piece of mind that your parts wont fail.

do it right the 1st time round

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
