probably a factor....but maybe not the only one in rb blocks.

since they are cast, have a full girdle and the crank is factory forged and nitrided...they are pretty strong compared to many motors despite being a long 6 cylinder. this is supported by the fact they almost never spin main bearings.....

this is what breaks the oil pump.

a good read on whats happening :crankshaft harmonics

That's what said a while ago... It's going on without a doubt.

They are a I4. Not a longer I6.

Taking a wild stab here but a I4 is not going to have the crank movement a I6 has, especially due to weight and so on.

Nor are the forces/pressures there especially if hitting limiters and so on with all that extra spinning around.

And it was met with...

Torsional vibration and harmonics are generaly worse in an I4 due to firing order and cyl sequence, also one of the reasons most I4's have ballance shafts to try help NVH

Large crank movement = toasted bearings, SR20's run main bearings pretty easy if not 100% dead on ballance when running over 400wkw yet dont break oil pumps running a near identical drive setup & dimensions to the RB... Rb on the other hand comes out with bearings looking like brand new yet oil pump is scrap metal, The RB pump is driven not even 3-4mm from No:1 main bearing, pump gets damaged from movement but bearing isnt touched?

There is no way to have rotational vibration / whip without it running out of center.

Yes Rezlo an inline 6 is dynamically balanced, so no issue there.

:D

Time to revisit?

That correlates with the "a good harmonic balancer will save your oil pump" theory i've heard stated on here.

every time theres an oil pump thread i cut and paste this page from ati.. sums it all up. stock balancers wont be suficiant to keep a "stock" oil pump alive, not evan a trust or jun either.

on another note, our race supra (2jz) has a alloy crank pully with zero dampening, looks like a water pump pully.. its not blown the oil pump either. and it hits the limmiter pretty hard. just goes to show how superier the toyota oil pump drive system is..

ive tried to make them put a good balancer on, but with no sucess lol.

Group buy was removed @ the request of the creator.

"Well considering theres a few guys not real confident and wanting to see some testing results, this group buy can be closed for the mean time."

Fair enough too IMO. A G/B that should have started once there was some actual testing for sanity's sake at least. ;)

Whats happeneing with the gears? can't seem to find the group buy- probably blind i'll have another look.

Yes they are still being made. I closed the GB thread to follow the forum rules ;). I'll put up another one when i have some 'testing results'

Anyone have any pics of the inside of the NITTO Pumps ? - I would really like to see what makes it special, other than what is said about it.

I am a little interested now and like many others, I was simply scared into facing the fact that I would have to eventually buy a Tomei Pump for my ongoing build, but if there is an alternative, I am open to reveiwing it.

Thanks,

Allan

i can send you a photo of the nitto pump that ate cast iron if you like...your e-mail address?

Thanks.

Although THIS does interest me, I am still waiting patiently for the AUS 'Tomei' replacement :)

So to whoever is doing it.....Get on that CNC and make some magic.....lol

JPC in Melbourne already produce N1 style replacement OEM pump gears if that is what interests you. http://www.jpc.com.au/ The Nitto pump gears are made from superior material from those though...i would rather not risk it with any material other than Nitto or an external pump.

I was on Nissansilvia forums earlier and came across the powertune gears (again)

http://hardtuned.net/forums/index.php?app=...ttach_id=177301

made out of P20

hows it compare to JPCs 4340 gears? pretty cheap at $350

I am still at a bit of a loss when it comes to these 'Nitto' pumps.....

Where are they made ?

Who makes them ?

Who is Nitto ?

Info is in short supply. Website ? Manufacturer Info ?

Unfortunately these are not a great deal compared to Tomei anywhere else other than Aus/NZ......

    • Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.
    • On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.
    • The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)  
    • I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.
    • I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
