External Oil Pump Kit RB26/RB30

Bought this external oil pump kit to use in my 26/30 build, but my engine builder believes it will be overkill for my street driven application at the expense of my air conditioning, so I've decided to stick with an upgraded internal pump instead.

This kit allows you to ditch the notorious internal oil pump setup and take those failure prone components out of the equation. For those who don't have a spare 10k to dump on dry sump, this is the next best thing to insure your expensive engine build or high revving race engine that will see more action than mine.

Everything is in new/unused condition - I believe the previous owner had it test fitted to their engine before they decided to part out their project, so there are handling/tool marks on the parts, but they otherwise look great.

My kit includes:

- Ross Tuffbond Race Balancer (306510, rated to 1000hp), with 20% and 7% underdrive pulleys (protects your water and P/S pumps at high RPM), gilmer belt drive and belt guard washer

- Moroso Single Stage External Pump w/ gilmer drive

- Bracket for pump mounting (replaces your air con compressor)

- Gilmer belt

- Hoses/lines with AN fittings

What you see is what you get. Only thing I don't have is bolts for the bracket. You'll also need to tap your sump to run a line to the pump.

From my googling, the balancer is RB30 fitment - you MAY be able to use this on an RB26, but please do your own research - I'm unfamiliar with crank/ancillary similarities. Likewise, I believe the AC bracket is designed for an RB30 - I don't know if the AC mounts differ on RB26.

How it will look setup (different parts but much the same deal)

To buy a similar kit brand new, you're looking at around 3k from Ross Performance:

I'm looking for $1800ono - same cost as a Tomei internal pump. I may be willing to separate the pump/bracket/belt/hoses as I can still use the balancer in my build.

Located western suburbs Melbourne. Happy to post at buyer's expense.

:cheers:

      High temp brake fluid?

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      I use the penrite 600f in my cars and have had no issues even at Townsville v8s when I drove that but I bled fluid end of day for just in case. Good value and a about 38-40 on sale. Use castrol srf on the supercars and no need to Bleed brakes over a race weekend. Do the 1000km with no issues. Over 120 a bottle I seen at repco. A quality brake pad is always a good starting point the ebc stuff I've seen let go after 2 sessions with heavier cars. I'd be going to a decent track pad and maybe those porsche air guides on the control arm to help with some air over the rotor. Helps on 86/brz with stock callipers.

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
