Rb26 Oil Pump Choices

So whats happening with these 2j style pumps? NITTO have you got any good news for us yet? Im very interested!

Have been looking at Tomei as an option, but i have heard of them breaking too as they have no room for movement. But the Tomei has external pressure adjust as a small bonus! Also considered the N1 pump with Billet gears, but still not 100% trusting of this setup, even with a collar, ross balancer & girdle brace/awd adaptor, im not sure its worth the money saved?

So hopefully these 2j pumps will be available soon, as i will need to finalise this pump descision soon, so i can finish building my rb30!

I also have the tomei sump baffle setup on the standard gtr sump, spool head oil drain & i think a 1.5mm restrictor & a HKS thermostated oil cooler, but was wondering if the expense of an extended sump (~$1300) is really nessesary or is it just a luxury? (*predomanently a street car, but will see a few circuit & club events each year! **also will be using motul 300v comp. oil)

Not happening any time soon last I heard

External pump/wet sump setup is another option...and not all that much more expensive then a Nitto/Tomei/Jun etc pump + Collar

Also keen to hear from Nitto.

If you do go with a Tomei pump, 1.5mm is too big. 1.1 is more like it, and I have "heard" that racepace even use a 0.9mm! Im adding a 1.1mm restrictor to my setup after filling the catch can at Winton.

Don't run your mains larger than 3 thou clearence and you won't have a problem with the Tomei pump. Larger than 2.2 clearance will kill an N1 pump.

Don't run a big pump without a big sump as well, and especially not if you intend on seeing more than 30 seconds of track time. Protect your investment and add a few more litres of oil. Oil is life!

how would you drive it? Would i lose my A/C? or my balancer? I prefer the idea of the 2j style pump & nitto said they were testing and shouldnt be far off??!?!!

Aahhh well there you go...wasn't aware Nitto were still copying other peoples ideas :nyaanyaa:

Splined pump is the best option.

But even the JZ guys have oil pump issues if the clearances are out

ok- So ive read through this.....

No mention on the Oil pump i have- HKS.

i understand the whole bigger pump mean picking up more oil therefore leaving less in the sump

Alot of this seem to be mentioned with track cars and 7k rmp +

I have a stock baffled sump, and supposedly Tomei oil gallery orifice, im just not to sure if this will casue any issues? and i would be better of with a stock pump- Keeping in mind this is street driven so wont be seeing the load that the avg track car gets.

I think the Tomei restrictors are 1.5mm

You should be fine. These problems generally only arise on the track because you don't spend a lot of time at high revs (6000+) on the road.

Not so much has anyone gone to the effort ... more has anyone been prepared to risk their engine with new technology! They look good, have been tested at high rpm (11,000) and power (1000hp) the only element missing is longevity - if I were in the market for one (to be honest I'm not) I would like to see a few engines that have done 10,000km or more on one. Plus 450 pounds sterling is a lot of dollars!

    • G'day Rob.  Have you sold your 370GT?  I have just started looking.
    • Could you have not cut off the OEM flange, weld on a larger flange for DBW?
    • Maybe of interest, a little while ago I spoke to one of the guys from Rajab Racing Developments and he hinted to me they could be developing a new cast exhaust manifold. Incidentally, they have already made one for the barra and it looks functional 
    • So Bathurst coming up so really need to get this new ECU in. I regret going to flex fuel and all the headaches associated with DBW with cruise etc....a miss the simplicity of Power Fc   I make enough power that I should have just gone back to 98 but...anyway Turns out with the std inlet I cant really go any bigger than 60mm DBW so wasnt able to play with that aspect of the update.  
    • We're bringing Pizzas back!! Pizza Runs, to be specific... We had a practice Pizza Run a while ago, and everyone has been screaming for a proper one... So you've asked, and now we're delivering! Since your tastebuds are tingling, feast your eyes on the event details: Date: Saturday 27th July 2024 Meet Location: Parking Lot - 1 Parkview Dr, Sydney Olympic Park Meet Time: Meet at 5.30pm for a 6.00pm departure Destination: Talotta's Pizzeria, 1-3 Bridges St, Kurnell Map: https://tinyurl.com/saunsw-talottas  We'll meet at the carpark on the corner of Parkview Drive and Australia Avenue in Sydney Olympic Park. When we leave the parking lot, we'll head down Australia Ave, and turn right onto Homebush Bay Drive at the large roundabout near DFO. As soon as we turn onto Homebush Bay Drive, we will be turning left onto the M4 to drive through the new M4/M8 tunnel! Everyone loves a bit of RB action through a tunnel.... We'll exit the tunnel at the Gardener's Road exit, and turn onto Princes Highway, where we'll follow it onto Rocky Point Road and then onto Taren Point Road. Once we reach Miranda, we'll turn left onto Captain Cook Dr, where we'll continue on straight until we reach Talotta's Pizzeria for some pizza goodness!!! There is a small carpark at the destination. Limited spaces are available, but there will be plenty of street parking in front of Talotta's There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
