probably a better thread for the N/A section, but assuming you're talking LS, then yes it's totally doable and has been done before, good upgrade.

You'll need some engine mounts and custom fabricated headers (or stock ones I guess) exhaust will obviously have to be custom, as will be driveshaft. As for the ins and outs of it, there are a couple of guys who have or are doing LS swaps on the forum here, NickR33 springs to mind, but his was an LS1 auto. You'd probably run a modified factory loom as well I'm assuming.

probably easier to find a already converted LS 33 and then swap all the bits over

these were probably only ls1 but I assume the import "conversion" bits would suit later model donk

seen 2 in SA in the last few months for sale track only but that doesn't matter

      Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".

      Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.

      Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.

      Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.

      I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?
