Hey guys i am having trouble deciding what oil pump

I am going to use the car as a Street / Drift / curcuit

has a 1.5mm oil restrictor in the block i am wanting to go to a 1.1 i think

Read all i can on the Nitto and Tomei pumps but i cant decide what one to pick??

My impression is both strong pumps. The Tomei's pressure can be adjusted externally when mounted. The Nitto's pressure can only be adjusted by springs.

The Tomei is also adjusted by springs/shims, externally.

I picked Tomei last week for pressure adjustment convenience, and they have also been around alot longer than the Nittos.

Correct me if I am wrong yet the Tomei item is not suited to bolt on application.

From my limited knowledge the Tomei is a higher flowing pump which would probably require more than a simple restrictor to head oil supply.

The JUN item is said to be really good and is also the choice of a close friend on here after some careful (and dubious) research. You may want to consider this item also yet try to stay as close to an OEM replacement item as possible unless you are going for specific goals and have a big build in the process.

Drift + added oil flow could be an issue, especially when all you are doing is banging in a piece that changes the ID of the oil pressure capillaries.

Just purchased a tomei pump. The new HKS pump is meant to have an even higher flow rate then the tomei pump, and also carries the pressure valve on the outside of the pump. Think it may cost the same as the tomei one too!

Good point mark, about adjusting oil pressure as the higher the pressure the better it is for the bearings and less chance of damaging your engine.

I know when I bought my nitto from jim @ crd he was telling the reason he has the option to lower the oil pressure is purely to make the other non believers happy...u need to cater for all customers.

Do yourself a favour, if u live in syd drop into crd and have a look at their nitto pump which is on display and has chewed pieces of an engine block via a massive failure AND the pump gear is still in 1 piece. Amazing stuff and hard to comprehend until u see with your own eyes.

Nitto is my choice :)

Something else I will also add, to advice from ppl in the know such as paul deimar @ red r racing!

For example, the nitto bottom end kit far exceeds the tomei bottom kit in terms of qaulity and tolerance straight off the shelf

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

      Shimmed or shimless, still solid, no hydraulic pump up stuff.

      They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
