not completely true. Its different to air.

Pressure IS pressure, it dont matter if your pump flows 8KL at redline if you have a certain size restriction, with same oil, and same pressure, the flow will be identical. The only time flow of pump counts is at idle when relief valve is shut. If both are set to certain pressure both will move the exact same at full revs.

Having one at 75 and one at 70 psi the higher pressure does mean more oil flow, through pressure, not pump capacity. If this makes sense

Well said.

Lets ignore the case when the pressure relief is seated because that is at low rpm where no one really cares and it complicates the explanation.

The point is if there are two pumps with different sized rotors etc and similar pressure relief arrangements they will flow the same amount through the same motor given the pressure relief measurement is the same.

Oil pressure is a measure of how hard it is to pump oil through a system. It is not a pump property.

They are still both fluids, so the principles are the same. I was only refering to the pump itself, not the whole system...so it was a just a bad analogy on my behalf ;)

This is correct and why i was asking about the upper operational pressure of the oem pump...if it's running at 120psi at 8000rpm, why can't you run the nitto at 120psi?

120PSI at 8000 is a little different to 120psi at IDLE. High pressure isnt uncommon with these so im not sure why this is still being discussed to be honest! The only issue with such high pressue is blow through on the turbo and filling the head with oil however if all the necessary things have been done during the build then no issues...

Does a stock one push 120? If it did, it would be exacly the same as a nitto or tomei with the same pressure. That much pressure is excessive regardless. Might not 'hurt' anything in the short run, but you dont need that much pressue

No pump will do that anyway

no stock wont push that much pressure but i have heard N1's doing this kind of pressure on idle and blowing oil straight out the turbo. Giving this is a built motor you would assume that necessary breather/catchcan setup has been made and even a drain from the head? i dont really see an issue if its setup right from the start

can always reduce oil flow to the turbo also

yeah...i think we can continue the discussion with engines that are built correctly in mind...

*sigh*

Pressure is restrciction to flow.

Think about a garden hose with no end on it, water runs out. Put your finger over the end (i.e make a restriction) and the water shoots out at a higher pressure

More pressure often equals less flow, but its not that simple as in they are not directly proportional (from memory). But at no flow you would hit the pumps relief setting so you would get maximum pressure at minimum/no flow

so if i have a pump running 80psi, then up the pressure to 120 i will have less oil in the head ? i think common sense would say the opposite. op the more pressure u have the more pressure u have with held in the system, and the more oil will be in the head. just like u said.

correct this is a built motor and will be running a catchcan to sump, breathers, and also a crack case vent to top of catchcan, engine had mods done to the oil returns that have been enlarge, also when the motor was been built with the nitto pump, engine builder was worry about the 120psi (he said its fine if its a drag car revving its tits off) anyways its set atm with 1 spring and 1 shim he said with the clearances and the oil he told me to use i will be seeing around 80 85psi, he also recommand the high volume sump (which im getting) coz it will suck the standard one dry...

(also gotten the same response from two different engine builders today about the high 120psi) infact one told me to remove 1 spring and to put 2 shims in to give me a total of around 80psi....

anyways the higher pressure more oil, fitting restritors to turbo isnt a worry i already know this would be need with a high pressure pump,

only thing i was trying to sort out was if i had a tomei pump on 75psi a nitto pump on 75psi would the oil flow be the same? as i think the nitto gearing is bigger then a tomei pump (could be other way around) wouldnt the nitto pump supply more oil flow at the same psi?

The restrictors have two main purposes: Keeping oil pressure in the block and preventing to much oil getting in the head

What I'm reading into your post there is you want to change the pump relief pressure from 80 to 120psi. This will not mean less oil in the head. You are not changing the restriction but rather exchanging how much pressure the oil will pump. So you still have (for example) a 2mm hole to feed oil into, but instead of only supplying enough oil to hit 80psi, the pump is supplying enough oil to hit 120psi. Therefore there is more oil displaced from the pump before it is hitting relief.

You need flow to move oil, you need flow + restriction to create pressure, pressure and flow will increase proportionally if the restriction is not changed.

Change the restriction however to a 1mm hole then you should hit 120psi with less oil being displaced

only thing i was trying to sort out was if i had a tomei pump on 75psi a nitto pump on 75psi would the oil flow be the same? as i think the nitto gearing is bigger then a tomei pump (could be other way around) wouldnt the nitto pump supply more oil flow at the same psi?

Will be exactly the same. Tomei has bigger gearset I believe

Rob from rips in newzealand Does not use any oil squirters in any of they rb30/25 26 engine combos no matter if its street use or drag

Yeah, because there are no oil squirters to use in the first place...

Engine builder has told me to use penrite running in oil, do about an hours worth of driving not boosting it keeping eye on oil levels, drop the oil, fill again with same running in oil, another hours worth of driving, drop oil and put in hpr30, what's the thoughts of this?

I thought synth, but he told me not to use synth oil or the motor will go bang, not to use synth oil with the acl h series bearings, my clearances are 2.3tho

Use penrite for running in.

This is how i ran my engine in as advised by my builder:

In your garage start the engine - don't let it idle and vary the engine rpm between 3-4000rpm (small amounts of boost are alright...say <3psi) for about 15-20mins or until fully warmed up. inspect for leaks excessive blow by etc during this period

Shut off. drop oil and inspect for issues. Drop filter - cut open and inspect for metal. Refill with penrite & replace filter - go out and do an hour or so worth of driving keeping off boost and varying load (using 1st, 3rd and 5th to drive around is a good idea) If possible, have someone doing some rough road tuning on your ecu. Drop oil and filter and re-inspect. Drive to tuners if no problems.

What is the purpose of your question? Crank collars are all the same about 43.7mm diameter or 40.7mm at the flats and all oil pumps for RBs are made to suit.

My question is, and albeit i have looked and googled and contacted nitto with no success. What is the clearance tolerance for the nitto oil pump to the collar.

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
