well funds arent permitting me getting a nitto pump right now.

i have a built 25, ross metal jacket, jun collar.

whats a good way to protect the N1 pump?

car is grip raced.

cheers

had 2 N1 Oil pumps thus far, first one was attached to an engine that was dropped off a stand smashing a big crack in it, went strong for ages, never lost pressure once. replaced it once i found it obviously (long story) new one is going awesome.

engine was fully balanced, grub screwed etc.

safe to keep revs ~7500rpm?

Mine see's 8000rpm very regularly. 7.5 won't be a problem, just don't slap the limiter.

All 3 RB motors i've had built so far, all N1 pumps, all 8000rpm - no problems. I just don't limiter :)

:3some: LOL

If the limiter is set low to like 7200rpm, is it the ignition cut (i believe that's the method the stock ecu/nistune) itself that puts the stress on the pump gears?

Speaking of stock ecu, I believe it uses fuel cut. When certain amount of revs is reached, fuel gets cut and crank starts to decelerate until it reaches so called "fuel recovery threshold", RPM point at which ecu resumes fuelling, and crank accelerates again. So if you're flat on throttle by that time, i.e. sitting on the limiter, this process repeats and crank speeds up and slows down in rapid succession, hitting pump drive planes and wearing them. The (bad) solution for this is to set limit level 300-500rpm higher than rpm at which you shift to reduce your chances of hitting the limiter.

Yep.

Doesn't matter where you hit it, it's still not a good idea.

Obviously if things are turning 1000rpm less, there is less overall stress etc - but not really worth the chance.

I remember on guy a while back - using a BeeR limiter thing and smashed a pump even @ lower rpm/shooting flames!

just a theory trent. tunnel boring moves the crank off centre compared to the oil pump.

OK, no stress, was just making sure i hadnt overlooked something.

We actually tunnel bore all our engines so just wanted to know your experiences... bad or good.

What you can do is to reduce the timing and add fuel up top. the engine will not hit a limiter but it will just lean over and stop making power.

You will then change gear. All good

the other solution is dont run an n1 pump

Don't understand why people won't spend an extra $500-$700 on a better pump rather than play oil pump roulette... I will build mine to last the hard time I want to give it not baby it because I am too much of a tight ass.

No pump is safe from being destroyed if you limiter bash. Even Tomei's can be killed.

spending more is not necessarily 100% fail proof due to the pump design!

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
