Rb High Flow Oil Pump No Brand?

[davesteedy]

Hey all, done a lot of research about which oil pump to use, then found this:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NISSAN-RB-SERIES-HI...=item20b3e94e13

Anyone seen/heard of/used one of these??? If so, good or complete sh!t???

Looks very similar to a G-reddy/nismo style pump.

Obviously would love to get a Tomei, but cannot afford one.

Any info on these good or bad would be very helpful.

Thanks, Dave.

i was about to ask a similar question as i just found this one. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT

possibly a cheap batch from overseas or something local that would be worthwhile? otherwise i'm considering some billet gears for $370

lot of money to spend on something that has no history.

possibly why the question was being asked

[mico]

id go with the billet gears, cant go wrong.

[davesteedy]

log in - yea I saw that one too, looks like the same pump - they look ok, but I guess that means f*ck all. Where can you get billet gears for $370?

[BoostdR]

looks like a N1 pump...would have to comfirm the actual gear size. The N1 pump has the shark fin outer as a give away. The comparision pick is of an Rb30 pump...not a fair comparison at all.

[davesteedy]

Hmm, Nismo, Jun, Nitto etc all use the shark-fin outer. This pump looks very similar to Nitto and G-reddy pumps, as they have a similar 8-bolt backing plate flange.

Nitto Pump:

Key I guess is the width of the gears (std 11mm) and material.

Is there noone that has used these pumps before?

[XRATED]

I wouldn't touch it....

I wouldn't touch it with your diik!

just had a look and the company is no longer around but JPC sells them for $350

so you could f*ck it before it has the chance to f*ck your engine.

why would anyone ever take a risk with such a critical engine component. It will end up bad money chasing bad money.

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

would rather run a N1 pump then a Ebay one lol

[mico]

that would be a close match lol

wow ebay can sell some pritty crapy stuff, but if its cheap enough than why not have a go..... when your talking about somthing like a deck chair or a cheap socket set..... but somthing like a Oil pump for a freshly built motor..... Dude just buy a nitto.......

[N1GTR]

If in fact it is a proper billet oil pump the same as a JUN/Tomei/Nitto then awesome.

Because it would be about Fu(king time good pumps were sold for a realistic price.

Whats interesting is the cost of a 2JZGTE genuine pump and their actual spec. Plus their reliability is second to none. How much? $300 delivered from USA.

[davesteedy]

Yea, it's quite funny, all of you have just replied exactly what I have gone over in my head - why take a risk like that with an untested product? But then, if it is modeled off a Nitto pump, and has the same quality gears, at a price like that, then how can you go wrong?

Tough decision, I have asked all who are selling them on e-bay to elaborate on the gear size/material so will see what they have to say.

I have pretty much made up my mind on the billet gears for my N1 pump though - roughly the same price for known quality results.

But as N1GTR said, there is no reason we should be able to get a quality pump at a reasonable price.

if you think these big companies make the stuff in house then your off with the fairies, there is quite a possibility it is straight out the back door of the same factory the others are from. I buy cranks from a company that supplies a few majors @ 1/4 the price.. there are other options you just need to validate its source.

if some-one buys it in vic im happy to compare the gearset to a genuine GREDDY item, it would be worth getting the gearset tested.

[ezy_09s]

^^ Agreed..and after comparing all pictures of the genuine 'nitto ' casting and these ones...front and back looks identical everywhere and the only difference i

can see is the rear plate is dull compared to the genuine nitto & phillips head screws used instead of hex.

In fact im going to buy one and get the gears tested for material & hardness.

Compare the casting pictures of unbranded pump v's nitto pump.
