N1 Oil Pump And Crankshaft Question.

[cobrAA]

I'm starting to collect parts for the rebuilt of my RB26 R32.

We all know the oil pump weakness. However, from what I read, the real problem is not the pump itselft but rather the crank collar and the harmonic damper.

1) I should be hitting the 500whp max 550whp.

2) Will be doing some track and drag ( maybe once a month)

3) Already have an ATI 1000hp damper

When people say keep it off the rev limiter, what is the limit? 8k or 9k? My rev limiter is set at 7.4k and doesn't bother me much. So, I think this won't be a problem either.

I simply think that a greddy oil pump + the needed bigger pan is simply overkill for my built, type of use.

Crankshaft ?

Should I go with a brand new n1 crank for 600$ or get a crank collar for 300$ ? I think it's better to change to a brand new crank but will I still need to modify the new crank or it's a simple drop-in solution?

Thanks for any help, feedback !

you get cranks over there for 600?

new crank would be best as you not only have to fit the collar, you also need it checked.

and when people say to keep it 'off' the limiter, its exactly what it means. be that 7.4, 8or 9k.

bashing the limiter will cause stress on the pump gears and eventually it'll shatter.

so just because yours is lower don't think you are safe.

for 500rwhp though you'll still likely be making power at 7.4 so a low limiter will hurt power band.

And do I need a new BNR34 cas ?
