Its interesting they claim you dont need a crank collar with them. I wonder how they came to that conclusion? Im sure there a heaps of guys that have killed oil pumps due to high revs would disagree with them. Unless they have somehow moved to gears back to allow more engagement onto the crank, but I didnt think that was possible.

So a crank collar is not the same result as an rb26dett from an r34?

Without getting into a massive oil pump failure related issues thread.
The longer snout on a crank was still a bit of a band aid, the clearance to the drive was a bigger issue. This could be what they have focused on.

Well whoopdef**kindoo, Now go and find a reliable high horsepower rb pump for 80 bucks and the world will beat a path to your door.

My point is that 7.5x the price for a set of gears seems a little much. If you have ever approached a machinist about getting some parts CNC'd you would know $600 for a pair of gears is pretty hefty.

I appreciate that its their IP and they can charge whatever they want, but you did post it in a public forum in effort to spark opinionated discussion. Such is my opinion, try not to loose too much sleep over it.

As the "whoopdedoo suggests, My care (loss of sleep" factor is very low indeed, I am not promoting this product at all. As the thread title says, it looks promising given the results in other makes using this oil pump design, namely the yota J engines.

I would never ever trust billet gears.

After researching and buying a set of them (reimax) and seeing how much rediculous amount of clearance there was to the crank collar I onsold them and bought a Nitto collar and pump.

The spool gears are utter shit with poor design flaws.

Aren't the nitto pump gears a billet gear?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
