If going with a higher flowing pump then yes you need a bigger capacity sump, head restrictors etc (replacing with a R33 crank for the long oil drive would be recommended). read the oil control thread in it's entirety.. as for head oil drains, as far as their function.. the general consensus is they don't really work.

I wouldn't risk using that balancer again if there were a oil pump failure.

Ok I already have restrictor s etc but not the sump do u recommend me changing sump ? Where is good place to get on if so

What is a good brand/model of harmonic balencer ? To replace standard one with ? And where could I source a 33 crank from ? Would itbe cheaper to go collar and change harmonic bal ?

Try Justjap for the R33 crank, from memory they arent that expensive.

As for the sump, from my reading I would retain the factory item. There doesnt seem to be much move towards aftermarket sumps in a basic sort of setup.

it's as simple as this really. factory pump factory sump. aftermarket pump? aftermarket sump. a high flowing pump will empty your stock sump in a matter of seconds. literally. and with much less oil flowing back down it doesn't take long for the sump to run dry.

so if you want to run a jun pump, you need to get an enlarged and baffled sump. I've had no problems with trust sumps on 2 of my GTRs and the hi-octane sumps seem to work very well too. I'd buy one of those.

as far as balancer goes I'd either spend a little and buy an N1 balancer, or go for top of the line which is ATI.

I think he's right!

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
