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.

ive smashed an n1 pump - now using nitto!

n1 is like that movie fatal attraction

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!

Did not say it was 100% fail proof, but given the choice I do not see why anyone would go with an N1 considering their record. I would spend more (on a Nitto, Tomei, etc) to know that is was a 100% improvement over an N1.

And if you want to (or be safe from accidental) limiter bashing then go an external for slightly more coin.

fuel cut explains the massive flames that gtr's shoot out on the limiter - most gtr's u will see in japan run this way. so my guess is that fuel cut is acceptable but not sure if its better or worse than ignition cut?

errr....might want to re-read what you just wrote Marko.

No fuel = no flames

Its been mentioned before so many times. But the clearance on the drive and pump is a problem in my opinion.

If you take a N1 pump gear and slide it over a R34 crank ir jun collar, there is .006" clearance each side. .012 total! It rattles like crazy when limiter is being hit. As mentioned just above. when limiter is reached the crank has to slow down before fuel is added to complete the combustion cycle. A loose crank/collar to pump is just smashing in there when its on the limiter. Every N1 pump or most pumps that have failed, crack right at the flat corner and then the rest is history.

Now i know im not the only person that figured this out. I have made new collars with .001" clearance each flat for a total of .002". Slips right on no problem but it doesnt have that loose fit like all the nissan cranks and Jun collars out there. i've gone through about 20 of them now with N1 pumps selling them to friends and stuff and not one problem yet.

Just look at this picture. Every crank you pull out looks like this. Its just retarded! the drive only has 3/16" contact. Crazy!

Ive seen almost every brand of pump brake. Looked at all the pictures people post up after and I always see the crank look like that.

Collar I made up. Just gotta flont the piece, lol. Im not saying there isn't a design flaw, but there is this one issue that is easily taken care of.

Would spark cut be easier on an oil pump than fuel cut?

same shit for an oil pump, engine is still stopping and starting in the same way. the only difference would be between different ecu's, for example, a stocker rb30e ecu cuts fuel to all cylinders when you hit 6200 and then cuts back in at around ~5800. a power fc randomly cuts cylinders to hold the motor at the set rev limit.

No doubt it's a shit design...

Good on you for trying to overcome the issue!

My beef has always been the fact that there is only 2 surfaces driving the pump, why not have more so there is less stress on the surfaces?!?

It's a real pity the guy who was trying to make the splined gears got ripped off by his machinist :/

That may be my next step. Your totally right on tho!

What happened to the guy that was designing the splined gears? Machine work in Canada is relatively cheap. I got a few guys I use and its very reasonable. I'd like to see what this other guy ended up with as a design. Did he make new gears completely or just the inner gear and drive for the crank?

I think there has to be a cheap solution for everyone. Or we could all go dry and call it a day. none of this inbetween stuff ($1500 for same design pump)

    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
