Yep, you need to set the pump up with a dial indicator and re-dowel as Mitchum has said. Obviously you don't go to these lengths for a basic rebuild.

Car was running on the dyno yesterday but ran out of turbo pretty early so had to stop it at 5k rpm as the EMAP was off the charts. I'll post a log over the weekend of rpm vs oil pressure

Looking forward to that.  Would be cool if you can post up learnings/logs in an appropriate thread for EMAP/IMAP too!

I mounted dial indicators on the north/south and east/west angles.. loosely mounted the oil pump and moved it upwards downwards side to side etc.. to see the total clearance in each direction.. then split the clearance and tightened pump down..

I didn't get the car back on Friday as expected, they are going to finish the dash config on Monday so I should have it back on Wednesday.

I'm going to have a chat with my local Motec boffin about some strategies to get it working more effectively. I can run a couple of comp tables to compare EMAP/IMAP/Turbine speed and EGT, I think I'll have to pull out a fair whack of timing at higher RPM as the EMAP gets out of control. The engine has fairly high dynamic comp to work with E85 and doesn't take much timing on 98.

I'm limited by the class of racing that I'm doing to using 'standard' housings. Obviously you can highflow but the 21u housing is choking the shit out of things and has zero ability to regulate boost so I've got some fairly radical plans for the turbine housing. Car made good power on 98. It's an RB20 (Roy would love it).

With the dial indicators, my engine builder setup two at 90 degrees to each other and measured the movement in the pump housing from the centreline then very slowly did up the bolts while keeping the pump housing centred using a nylon hammer and some love taps.

As far as I know Spool makes kits only for old 81mm OEM and N1 pumps, while Supertec does for all pumps, except maybe HKS and Reimax. Also Supertec makes a high flow N1 splined kit with wider back plate, so pump flows 6 liters per minute more.

Black painted kits are Spool, genuine metal finish for Supertec. So Tomei, Jun/Nitto/Greddy pumps owners have only a Supertec option.

I have installed a Spool spline drive kit on my RB30/26 build.  I wasn't aware of the alignment problems associated with this setup and installed it without aligning it.  After about 1000 miles, my oil pump lost pressure about 1 mile from my house.  I got no pressure under 3k rpm but slight pressure above it.  But in doing so, I'm afraid the damage has already been done because I have a slight knock when I rev the engine past 2500 rpm.  I plan on pulling the engine back out and inspecting to see what went wrong.  Unfortunately, I stumbled upon this post too late.

sorry to hear about the trouble, When i purchased mine it had instructions of how to properly align it..

Let us know what you find!

Could you post the instructions here please?

This is a Supertec installation manual (attached). Not sure if it works for Spool.

Cheers man! It's more so just for the alignment of the pump to the crank.

Finally Nitto made a splined drive kit. After all these years. ?

And after saying it doesn't work. Sounds funny now.

Pretty sure they said it wouldn't work due to the harmonics of the RB etc etc.. I guess they will be redacting their comments.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
