okay ill start with what I know I'm doing

ill be running a custom sump fully baffled and wing gates, head return, with an external pick up point and modify the pump for external pickup

now what I'm not sure is what pump and collar to use I heard of the new nitto pump with the splines haven't heard of anyone using it on a rb30crank and well that's basically my question what pumps have people used in the 400-500kw+ range on a 25/30 I just want to know what people have used and there advice don't want to know what people have 'heard' and before anyone says to do a search I have so many times it varies so much just want a bit more info before I buy something

Well from those links it answers your questions

1: Tomei is best/better by design - spline drive

2: Nitto doesn't have a spline drive available for sale yet.

3: Jun and nitto pumps will suit your power outputs. Plenty of more serious powered cars running those pumps.

4: limiter bashing will kill all pumps.

JUN, TOMEI and even HKS were all the options until NITTO came along.

NITTO seems more readily available as its 'local'

You can even just use upgraded billet gears for a standard or N1 pump.

yeah I thought about a external do I have to go dry sump if I go that way??

Nope, wet sump can be done.

Brad (RISKING) of pro fabrication does an external wet sump with reservoir that's well priced!

It may look like a lot to start with, but by the time you add everything up with a normal pump setup it's not that much..

$1500 pump

$1500 sump

If i were to build another engine this would certainly be high up on the choice of oil pump setup for me...

By design yes.

Many 1000hp gtrs have run JUN and nitto.

Why are you Doing external pickup?

new design that Etm is doing it allows there to be a full gate without the pickup being in the way he just modifies the pump to use the outer port and blocks up the inner port and welds on a speedflow fitting to the sump and that's it

Air conditioning can be retained with the external oil pump system I've been doing.

Mine is far better than any external oil pump system currently on the market. It eliminates the surge issues as well as the broken pump issue.

It's half the cost of a complete dry sump system.

I've done about 6 systems now all of which have been tracked and driven hard.

A 2 stage pump feeds a surge tank arrangement in the same way a fuel system operates. Tank design has been the key to making the system work due to oil airation.

    • Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.
    • Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that). 
    • Yeah thats the next step now, either they wil or i will take out for a drive to work and go straight their after work and see is we get the same issues 🤞  thought i try my luck here too, never know someone else might have had the same issue but thanks for the reply 
    • Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point
    • Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
