Identifying Oil pump

I've done a bit of research and thinking that the oil pump I have just bought off eBay advertised as a Vl turbo oil pump is actually a rb20 or rb25. The gears are  11mm thick and there's 12 unlike rb26 which has 11  

Can anyone identify it at all

What is the in internal diameter of the drive gear? I believe the stock RB30 pump may be smaller than the other RBs but I don't know about the turbo version. What engine do you plan to use it on?

Which measurement were u asking about? 

As above:   internal diameter of the drive gear - it should be in the region of 44mm

I ask because I have had people report they can't get their RB30 pump over the crank collar (which is about 43.78mm) whereas all other RBs fit no problem. But maybe N/A and turbo are different.

And as I asked before - what engine do you want to use it on?

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
