I know that bosch makes a water pump suitable for an rb20/35/26/30 so they are all the same in design... However i believe the flow rate would be different from a stock item....

But yeah they do all fit each other.... Its only the oil pump that is different...

No it is not the same, but you can use the rb30 water pump.

It has less blades so it flows less coolant at a given revs. Which means you get the similar effect as the N1 water pump at about 20% of the price :)

Thanks guys!

I got a price on both water pumps:

R32 GTR water pump $325

VL Turbo water pump $126

I might save myself any hassle and get the R32GTR pump. Massive price difference though!

From my experiences the only different one is the rb25 pump.\

If I were you I'd just get the holden one - mind you that is a pretty expensive price you've got there - I'd look a bit harder.

Cheers

There is a mounting hole different between the rb20 and 25 pumps, the small one to the top right of the impeller when looking from the front is in a slightly different position.

The N1 pump has an elongated hole so fits both.

I also picked up my last genuine pump (for an rb20) for about $130.

davies craig are certainlly electric....

All they make are pumps and fans...

I heard they are "no good" on RB26's by a workshop here in Melbourne. I was pretty keen on running an electric water pump as I have read that you would be able to gain as much as 15kw at the rears.

Anyone use these pumps on RB26?

a water pump is a water pump. it has a pretty basic job to perform. :P i cannot see how one pump will be "no good" for a particular engine. did they give you any reasons or anybody else heard this?

from memory the davies craig pump itself is <$200 and there's a EWP controller that allows you to set engine temps (through flow rate of the pump) and keep the water pump running after engine shut-off to assist in cooling everything down.

i've yet to hear bad things about the thing...

if your electrics fail your car will not run either, so the no pump wont be such a problem. lol.

but i agree if the wiring was faulty just for the pump it could be a problem, but a simple warning buzzer could be incorporated.

I must say i have heard people say to stay away from them too, but i've never heard it backed up. I'd love to know why there is such a fear of using them on GTRs.

i didn't have any problems whatsoever on my gtst with the ewp. i was very impressed with it. and i've yet to hear about one failing. i'd love to hear any problems people have had tho!

and re: the electrics. if you install ANYTHING dodgily on a car you're gonna have headaches. it isn't hard to wire one of these suckers up, nor is it hard for anyone with a head on their shoulders to make the wiring reliable.

mmmmmmmm My thoughts exactly! I'm really keen on going with the electric water pump. In two minds now. What do I do? Pay $325 for a new GTR water pump or a little over $200 for an electric water pump? :)

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
