Ben's R32 Gtst Build

[Roy]

So, are you going to give me the goss on tight ass billet oil pump gears? This new turbo of mine is meant to be effecient at 1.8bar (on Evos anyway) so think I may throw an oil pump on the old girl before I give her E85, and 28-30psi I cant have the Ford running more boost than my Nissan

[sav man]

i've got the oil pump appart on my bench now, i'll put some pics up tonight. I got mine from my tuner, but i know spool sell them too.

[sav man]

here is the oil pump.

Remove the 8 screws off the back with an impact driver.

remove the cover.

remove the inner gear.

remove the outer gear

reverse steps to put back together.

So is there any difference in pressure or flow? Are Spool ones the same as what you are running?

[sav man]

flow is the same, and the pressure is regulated by the spring. A N1 pump will gave you 110psi oil pressure, i'm going to play with some springs to get it around 75psi. The only way to increase flow is to put bigger wheels in, which needs a diferent housing. The gears just make a N1 pump strong. I've got no idea where my gears are sourced from, but they are just a billet version of the N1 gears (N1 is powerdered steel)

Engine is almost ready to go in.

Where did you get the black silicon rad hose? All I've been able to find has been blue Samco hoses.

[sav man]

it was justjap from memory

Just finished reading this, it took me literally a week of afternoons... Now to finish Damo's bloody thread...

Awesome build guys, some interesting ideas and a lot of hard work, good luck with the new engine

[sav man]

The engine finally fired into life last night. I only ran it long enough to make sure it had good oil pressure. I'll take it for it's first run-in run on Friday night. The shocks are still off getting revalved, so we found some odds and ends laying around, and put them in the car so I can run it in.

Damo has modified the navigators seat, it's now about 60mm lower that it was before.

Where is zee updates? Chop chop! 3 Weeks to go!

[sav man]

Started running it in on the weekend, and it's getting tuned on Wed.

[LachieR32]

Amazing build mate, should be happy with the results, really nice car.

[sav man]

I took the car out to Baskerville on the weekend and did 60 - 70 laps of testing, and shock setup. The super sump appears to have done the job, as oil pressure was consistant all day. The only problem was oil temp, but i've already got a cooler sitting ready to install.

The revalving of the shocks has made the car heaps better, I have so much more confidence in what it's doing now.

[zebra]

Did you try any quick and/or timed laps?

[sav man]

yep, the car is about 1 - 1.5 secs a lap quicker than when I was there last year

[zebra]

Cant ask for much more than that

Good stuff

[sav man]
