The larger one should flow more :)

I'd be interested to see how you go if you end up buying the gears and having them reproduced on a CNC machine :) (assuming thats what you have in mind)

That is what I have in mind.

The price of around $149 retail sounds good to me but we'll see what the guys next door say. (the engineers)

use the N1. it's only failing is the odd catastrophic pump gear failure. i assumed you are using a 33 GTR crank, or at least a 32 GTR crank with a collar fitted? if so then don't worry about it too much. but if you really want to make it good buy the reinik pump gears it's much, much stronger than the N1 gears. cost about $600.

Do you happen to know if the gears are the same as standard but just out of a different material?

If so then I could simply just take my standard gears to the engineering shop and get them to make the pump gears out of a stronger material?

I havent been involved in engineering for 13 years so my memory had faded badly, but IIRC asking from something "stronger" probably wont be precise enough - you need to find out if it was brittle or ductile failure, to know what stronger will mean. Maybe best to see if you can get your hands on a broken set of gears so the engineering guys can check it out and make a recommendation. Hopefully the engineers on this forum can comment further/tell me i'm talking crap.
