Holy shit 600 bucks for a pair of gears. Rocking horse shit found!

When I rebuilt my SR I paid $80 for a pair of genuine gears.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

That's the thing, are the gears/pump reliable?

[sky30]

Reimax do a straight fit gearset for rb pumps for $350, made in japan and used in motorsport events over there as a reliable upgrade.

I have been using a set of these gears for a year with no issues after i had broken 2 stock gear sets.

[GTScotT]

sky30 do you have a collar?

[mattis96]

And your rpm limit to? The gears for the pump, what's their rpm rating if the have one?

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.

[sky30]

Yes my engine runs a collar and it had the collar when i broke the last 2 pumps. Rpm limit was 7800, now 8200 coz i raised it up to try and avoid hitting it all the time, which aint easy

[89CAL]

What about the extra oil flow? Will this cause more oil control issues?

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?

[sky30]

I think all gears, including factory have a fair bot of clearance on the crank.

[jet_r31]

Thats why you don't use a crank collar and instead, weld up the crank and machine it down..tight as a nuns flamin mongrel then...

cheers
