Oil Pump

[jays r33 gtr]

hey just wondering what oil pump people recommened for my r33 gtr

i blew my oil pump last night at the runs so looking into which one i want to get to support my mods for later only want to do the job once but dont no the diffrence between the jun and tomie oil pump so people who have experienced this would be good for input..

and what work shops they went to and rough prices saying its only the oil pump.. im hoping nothing else went on it

thanks jayson

ill assume by runs you met the legal drag strip

i'd recommend the nitto oil pump

though id also recommend making sure the crank's snout hasnt been badly damaged, and check the sump for chunks of bearings

You'd be pretty lucky to loose an oil pump and not destroy they bottom end....I'd recommend having it pulled down before you worry too much about the oil pump alone.

I also run the nitto pump on the race car, but I think any of the pumps are OK for 99% of people....just make sure you have the longer oil pump drive on your crank, and that you lock tite the screws holding the backing plate onto the pump....and don't spend your life bouncing off the rev limiter.

yer it was at eastern creek on wednesday night..

and i know i have to pull it all apart and have a look, i'm hoping i didn't destroy it to much.

im looking at upgrading a few things and now while its out of action my build will start to happen so just resourcing parts and cost and thinking were to start and if i should just go RB30 bottom end instead

tomei is the strongest pump on the market, with its unique 3 piece gears

i think it might be alot worse then i thought today i pulled off my intercooler and i found oil thru out my piping and my cooler

its wasnt alot but it was enough to have me worried not to sure if its normal or not if its only blown turbos i wont be too worried as i am going single turbo anyway so that will all be changed..

just wanted to no if it could be anything else

if u dont mind me asking, how did u break the pump? rev limiter at the tree?? or mid track?

[jays r33 gtr]

it was just before finish line on my fourth run and went to put it into fourth gear and it just crunched and oil light came on straight away so i left it in neutral and rolled down the track and turned it off..

thing is but i went to change gear just before 8000rpm and then she went
