Looks very nice  . . . however I have never see an impeller corrode out over time.

If you are using the correct coolant there should be minimal or no corrosion in the engine at all !

The bearings will probably wear out before the impeller has issues.

There might be an advantage if the pump is rebuildable as was done in dinosaur days of the past !

If its going on an RB25/26 then you are better off getting the proper pump.  The RB30 one fits fine but has one less mounting bolt up near the top......and they always seem to leak in that area albeit after a few miles.  The proper RB 25/26 ones seem to hold tight longer IMO.

When will yours be running? Keen to hear how your 9280 turns out.

It will be a ways away. I'm painting my car on top of waiting for parts all the time. I will definitely update when on the turbo when I get it running

Nice man. Can I ask about your head? What mods etc? I hit a fkn brick wall on my setup, so keen to hear others running EFR on rb30's.

I got my head worked on by Mazworx out in Florida. I went with their stage 2.5 package. Cams are Kelford 182-SE.

Looks great ! 

I took a quick look at their web site and the price is up there in comparison to other quite well know brands.

But in saying that, that's a machined bronze impellers and certainly looks the goods.

Still got to ask if its re-buildable ?

Overall its different. I figured I'd give it a try. If it's sucks then, i can at least say is not worth it and suggest an N1 or Reimax.

I forgot to ask about if it's rebuildable. I can only assume it is.

The price is a little higher but with the impeller material and machining I can see why.

How much was that WP? Just out of curiosity, what are the flow rates? I recently changed mine because Im a overly pedantic fkwit :D and decided to splash out on the Gr.A Reimax waterpump.. and it made a pretty good dent in the coolant temps.

I paid $327USD

I dont know the flow rate. I can imagine its high considering the length of the blades. Id have to measure the impeller and math it out

I saw your thread about the cooling issues with your intercooler and hypertune lol.

Yeah! Hence why I was wondering. Looks like it should flow better then OEM/GMB style pumps. Its similar to the one I have. 

haha dam right about Hyperf*knshitTune. Honestly stay away from them. I should have gone with Plazmaman instead. At least they were straight up and honest when I asked them specific details.

Mind if I ask what specs of your head? Feel free to pm if you want to keep it low key. Id be happy to share mine, just trying to compare setups and understand why the f**k my turbos out of puff.

Yes in theory the larger impeller should flow more. from reading around, the vortex style impeller should be better than the open style

I have been dealing with them since last Sept for a radiator/fan combo. Stilll waiting...

Head:

CNC ported

Supertech Intake Valves, +1mm
Supertech Inconel Exhaust Valves, +1mm
Supertech Bronze Valve Guides
Supertech Dual Spring Kit, 92/82lbs
Supertech Titanium Retainers
Supertech Valve Seals

Kelford 182-SE

I chose the keep the quench pad as I havent read anything solid around to remove them for a street car. removing the quench adds about 70cc

Why am I not surprised haha. Peter is such an absolute cock. False promises after another. I was on the verge of threatening him. My advice, steer clear of them at all costs. He LOVES to take money, and once youre paid up, communications just drop and you have to literally beg for updates, where you will get grumpy short replies.

Anyways, your head is similar to mine, what duration/lift? Im running 278/286 with around 10.8-11mm lift. Did they do a flow test pre/post porting? Mine flowed 300cfm post.. which is supposed to be quite a lot apparently.

Yeah, Im not messing with them after this experience. I had to contact one of the fab guys on IG before pete sent me an "sorry we've been busy" email. The fab guy has been my POC for the last couple months. Now pending shipment.

274°-270°/280° | 10.55mm-10.50mm/10.50mm Valve Lift - 274°/270° split lobe intake, 280° exhaust. The head gets delivered today actually. I will see if it comes with e blueprint/flow sheet.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
