Looks very nice  . . . however I have never see an impeller corrode out over time.

If you are using the correct coolant there should be minimal or no corrosion in the engine at all !

The bearings will probably wear out before the impeller has issues.

There might be an advantage if the pump is rebuildable as was done in dinosaur days of the past !

If its going on an RB25/26 then you are better off getting the proper pump.  The RB30 one fits fine but has one less mounting bolt up near the top......and they always seem to leak in that area albeit after a few miles.  The proper RB 25/26 ones seem to hold tight longer IMO.

I'll be install on a RB30 block.

Are you descriping the slotted hole?

When will yours be running? Keen to hear how your 9280 turns out.

It will be a ways away. I'm painting my car on top of waiting for parts all the time. I will definitely update when on the turbo when I get it running

Nice man. Can I ask about your head? What mods etc? I hit a fkn brick wall on my setup, so keen to hear others running EFR on rb30's.

I got my head worked on by Mazworx out in Florida. I went with their stage 2.5 package. Cams are Kelford 182-SE.

Looks great ! 

I took a quick look at their web site and the price is up there in comparison to other quite well know brands.

But in saying that, that's a machined bronze impellers and certainly looks the goods.

Still got to ask if its re-buildable ?

Overall its different. I figured I'd give it a try. If it's sucks then, i can at least say is not worth it and suggest an N1 or Reimax.

I forgot to ask about if it's rebuildable. I can only assume it is.

The price is a little higher but with the impeller material and machining I can see why.

How much was that WP? Just out of curiosity, what are the flow rates? I recently changed mine because Im a overly pedantic fkwit :D and decided to splash out on the Gr.A Reimax waterpump.. and it made a pretty good dent in the coolant temps.

I paid $327USD

I dont know the flow rate. I can imagine its high considering the length of the blades. Id have to measure the impeller and math it out

I saw your thread about the cooling issues with your intercooler and hypertune lol.

Yeah! Hence why I was wondering. Looks like it should flow better then OEM/GMB style pumps. Its similar to the one I have. 

haha dam right about Hyperf*knshitTune. Honestly stay away from them. I should have gone with Plazmaman instead. At least they were straight up and honest when I asked them specific details.

Mind if I ask what specs of your head? Feel free to pm if you want to keep it low key. Id be happy to share mine, just trying to compare setups and understand why the f**k my turbos out of puff.

Yes in theory the larger impeller should flow more. from reading around, the vortex style impeller should be better than the open style

I have been dealing with them since last Sept for a radiator/fan combo. Stilll waiting...

Head:

CNC ported

Supertech Intake Valves, +1mm
Supertech Inconel Exhaust Valves, +1mm
Supertech Bronze Valve Guides
Supertech Dual Spring Kit, 92/82lbs
Supertech Titanium Retainers
Supertech Valve Seals

Kelford 182-SE

I chose the keep the quench pad as I havent read anything solid around to remove them for a street car. removing the quench adds about 70cc

Why am I not surprised haha. Peter is such an absolute cock. False promises after another. I was on the verge of threatening him. My advice, steer clear of them at all costs. He LOVES to take money, and once youre paid up, communications just drop and you have to literally beg for updates, where you will get grumpy short replies.

Anyways, your head is similar to mine, what duration/lift? Im running 278/286 with around 10.8-11mm lift. Did they do a flow test pre/post porting? Mine flowed 300cfm post.. which is supposed to be quite a lot apparently.

Yeah, Im not messing with them after this experience. I had to contact one of the fab guys on IG before pete sent me an "sorry we've been busy" email. The fab guy has been my POC for the last couple months. Now pending shipment.

274°-270°/280° | 10.55mm-10.50mm/10.50mm Valve Lift - 274°/270° split lobe intake, 280° exhaust. The head gets delivered today actually. I will see if it comes with e blueprint/flow sheet.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
