Tomei Oil Pump upgrade - RB26DETT

[Blitz]

Hi all,

I am currently looking for a upgrade oil pump for my GTR and due to the cost of the japanese made options such as the HKS and JUN units, I was going to settle for an N1 pump, that is until I see that Tomei also makes an upgraded pump but at a fraction of the price of the HKS or JUN pumps.

Does anyone have any experience with these?

Yep the experience I have is that the quoted price on there website is wrong

Dragster: I have verified the price with the distributor in Melbourne

Jumps on greenline the price on there is more like 127,512 yen so a bit diff to the price on there site

edit: only thing on the site that is priced right seems to be the sump baffle

Sounds great pm me when your ordering one and I'll get one aswell, who is the distributor in Melbourne?

Hi Guys, under the oil pump, in the price panel it says "Oil Pan Baffle Plate". So that is NOT the price for the pump. The part number in the panel under the oil pump is 193034, that's the Tomei part number for the "Oil Pan Baffle Plate". It is NOT the part number for the pump. If you asked the distributor for their price based on that part number, then when you order it you will get "Oil Pan Baffle Plate" NOT an oil pump.

My guess, the web site designer mixed up the price panels.

PS; if you can get the oil pump for Yen 19,800 I will take 5 please.

SK: I didnt actually go off the tomei web price as I noticed they listed the sump baffle price again underneath.

In the new speed magazine there is a 1 page ad for Access performance showing the Tomei pumps for a steal! $390ish from memory.

Thus my enquiry, though it looks to be a stuff up as I suspected.

[Dragster33]

So have you "verified the price with the distributor in Melbourne" or not?? if you have how can it be a stuff up??

[B-Man]

Blitz - that price is good - my N1 pump was $500something.

Tomei usually make good hear - what do they say about their pump that makes it so good ?

[B-Man]

Ok so I answer my own question:

In circuit running or drag racing, lubrication trouble is one of the major reasons for the blowing of RB26DETT. The main reason for this trouble is worn out bearing metal from decreasing oil pressure, caused by insufficient amount or pressure of factory oil pump for tuned high RPM and high out put engines. Also, since factory pump gear is made of weak sintered metal, it is not rare that broken gear at high RPM damages entire expensive engine block instantly. TOMEI RB26 oversize oil pump applied extra large pump gear that is made of high-strength material to let it breath enough amount and pressure of oil to the tuned engine and secures strength with its original design.

I will take a couple at that price thank you

Actually smart ass, yes I did, but when another person called to confirm the price, they apparently admitted its most likely wrong.

B-Man, thats exactly right, the N1's have gone up a little as well and they were the cheaper option compared to the japanese brands.

I wont be forking out 1-1.5k for an oil pump so I think I will stick with the N1

Even with the N1 pump and baffle in the sump, you shouldnt have any oil feed or surge problems....Hopefully.

I havent yet after a track day *touch wood*

[Blitz]

fingers crossed

fingers crossed

we use one in combination with a tomei baffle, oil restrictor an 19 row oil cooler. No dramas after countless floggings.

Watch the uphill left at Barbagallo if you are going hard on comp rubber, the baffles still aren't enough.

Back on thread, the N1 pumps have given us no problems yet but we keep our engines under 8,000rpm.

Yep I agree about the smart part, I knew what I was talking about in my 1st reply, it was you that said I was wrong

oh and nice attitude for a so called moderator I thougt it was against forum rules to call names???

How about you go back and re-read the thread before you embarass yourself anymore.

1. I saw the price of these pumps advertised in Speed

2. I rang the performance shop advertising them, asked if the price was correct and was told yes.

3. At this point I started this thread to gauge some feedback on these units

4. Another individual also rang the shop, however by this stage they appear to have realised that there may have been a mistake.

As for name calling, I referred to you as a smart ass - which you clearly are

N1 pumps releif valve can also be shimmed to give that little extra if needed, just to make sure :sly: or do the same to a stocker?
