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? :)

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
