Help I Think I Screwed My N1 Pump

[ps13_jason]

hey guys, i kinda didnt line up the pump drive to the collar when mounting it... so basically i tightened the pump which then cut into the collar in the pump a little bit...

question is can the gear in the pump be flipped upside down so i get a nice collar again or should i chuck my new n1 in the bin and buy a new one?

thanks

I would chuck it, the housing may be damaged as well

if this has happened then you cannot use this pump. reason for that is if you look inside the pump you will see that the collar that you say it has cut into is actually the inside of the inner gear

you have now weakened the pump in a big way and cracks can form much easier then before - seeing the N1 pump is known to break (high revs and limiter hits) when in good condition your pump will fail much quicker and easier.

big fail to have to replace your pump because of this, but bigger fail to have to replace the whole motor!

Just be happy you found this now and not afterwards

thanks guys, any suggestions as to who sells them cheapest these days?

thanks

is it definately not possible to flip the gear set upside down inside the pump if the rest of it looks good?

Try the Nitto pump out, it may cost abit more than the N1 but their reliability is supposed to be up their with the Jun/Greddy pumps
