you'd want to tap into the sump wouldnt you?

because there wouldnt be any oil in the pump until the car is cranked/running?

but it would suck from the same place (oil pick up) and put back in the pressure side to go to the oil filter . it wouldn't be able to suck thro the standard oil pump because of the gears ?

whats the point of doing it. its not like engines have ever had an issue with starting on a normal oil pump before.

more for the fact that if your standard pump shit it self you have some chance of saving the motor

yeah ok fair point, im not sure that you would have enough power in the electric pump to supply the oil

yeah im with this, if you need something large to get the oil round in the first place, i dont think a small 12v pump would help much,

be better off with a good oil pump (nitto or jap brands), or external wet setup.

Would be better off to use a pressure switch for an engine cut, by time the small pump kicks in the damage would be done

For the money you'd spend on the pump, modifications, hoses, and fittings, you may as well have bought a jun/nitto pump anyway. Engine alarms and kill switches are the go to prevent engine death in the event of oil pressure loss, or accumulators if you want to protect against oil pressure surge as well.

yeah, just buy a decent pump and a warning, in a built engine with crankcollar, and nitto/jap pump they can handle 9000rpm+ launchs without breaking.

seems more of a waste of effort and money to do it with a standard pump.

get the accumulator, but like mentioned in the other thread and on the site, those setups are for big hp and serious race cars

I wouldn't bother farting around with the oil pump... If you wanted to add an electric pump, you would install it as a redundant/seperate system.... with it's own oil pick up, filter and feed into the oil galleries.

I'm just going to use the largest accumulator or 'accusump' I can fit, along with a good oil pump and oil pump drive.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
