Hey guys originally I was after a tomei oil pump and still really considering one but I've been offered a jun pump for a pretty decent price just depending if he accepts my offer, are they a good oil pump to use ? Any down sides of it compared to the tomei, the more answers the better

Cheers

I have a little bit by the looks of it tomei is too good, I've searched that some of these have shattered

I know of two tomei pumps that have failed - but there was no information as to why they failed (could have a been a crappy install, eaten engine block etc). By all reports Tomei is great pump and these isolated failures shouldn't put you off.

The nitto pump is another great peice of engineering. As far as i'm aware, there has been no reported failures thus far for these. And they have been known to eat engine block and survive :-) Mine is going great :-)

Haven't heard much about the JUN pumps. I know they have been used in some high HP car's with no drama's.

I've got the Jun pump in my RB28, making over 600rwhp, limiter bashed regularly etc etc still going strong...but I think you'll hear that about all the name brand pumps.

So Jun, Tomei, Nitto,etc all a big improvement over the standard one, take your pick.

Tomei is the best - simply by design.

The others, all a case of how much do you want to spend. No-one can decide that for you.

That's not to say they are a bad pump, just not the best.

Give any muppet a pump (or a bad build), and any oil pump can be destroyed. Tomei/Nitto/JUN or otherwise.

Tomei or Nitto, i'm not sure if Nitto has released their new Spline drive pump or not yet, if they have, get one of those!

The most important thing to make sure you do is fit a crank collar that gives the correct collar to pump drive flat clearance.

I have a Nitto pump and collar on my engine, i came to that decision after months of research.

If i were to do it all again for a track oriented vehicle it would be an external belt driven pump, either wet or dry sump.

I have a JUN, had no problems and I don't think I ever will.. Tomei is probably the best and I'd buy one if I had to choose again

As stated above, any pump will eventually fail if rev limit bashed enough/bad harmonics or wrong collar clearances

I've been using Jun pumps for years on the OS giken engine without problem.

Willall racing drag car also used this pump with revs of 10,000+ rpm without any pump issues.

If you can pick it up for under 1k...then that is a steal!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
