So i need to track down a new oil pump for an RB20DET - this seems to be more tricky for the RB20 than the other RB's

RB20DET oil pump from fast seems to be - 15010-79S05

while this doesnt correspond to any of the other RB entries

i.e. RB25DET is 15010-21U01

looking at around the $330 mark for an RB30et oil pump with the rb30e being more expensive than its turbo brethren.

the pump are interchangeable from what i can see and read, but thats rb26 and RB25 onto RB30 etc etc

can i run any pump on the RB20DET without any issues?

Unless it's a big dollar, big rev build there should be no issues. Differences are fairly general until you get into the N1, and they're really just built to be more efficient at high rpm.

The 25DE/DET run slightly higher oil pressure to cater for VVT but nothing likely to give you grief if that's what you can source.

The 30 pumps are significantly different and I don't think likely to be as efficient at higher rpm. In short, run a pump designed for a twin cam RB.

2nd hand oil pumps have to be opened up and inspected regardless. you'd be able to tell if it was too worn to use if you did this on a 2nd hand pump. could save yourself a few hundred too.

600 sounds like a decent way out of the problem.

N1 means crank collar aswel

Jun and better are more again

second hand rb20 could just fail aswel, so unless it was almost free I wouldn't touch it

    • Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old
    • Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.
    • Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!
    • I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?
    • What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
