I think that i will buy an Tomei oilpump, seems after much reading here and on the Australian forums that the high flow of Jun is not that good. The Tomei is at least adjustable, so running it at the lowest "flow" should be good.
As i read from the Australians, the rear oil restrictor should be blocket, and then have a 1.2mm in the front then add a external "return" for the oil, from the head to the block. |

JUN's high flow lets me use thin oil, which I like.
Never use Greenline. Never. RHDJapan.com - fast, good prices, good people. I bought a Tomei. Not sure where I'm going to set it in terms of flow - I think one step lower than max flow, or maybe just max flow. N1 is a good choice if you want to break your engine. N1+Reimax gears, for that money, it's the same as a Tomei anyways. |

The Reimax gears turned out to cost around 470usd, and a N1 pump costs 360USd for me. Its like, 3-400USD more and ive got an Tomei. Doesnt feel like its worth the money for an N1 and Reimax gears then.

I just ordered some gear from Greenline. I received an inquiry response within 24hrs and after purchase 12 hrs. We all have preferences I suppose.
For me the N1+Reimax deal will work out cheaper than a GReedy/Jun deal |

In Sweden there's a LOT of people who had problems with Greenline, things which has been payd but nothing has showed up even a halfyear after the payment had been done. So i'm not ordering from Greenline anymore.
But i ordered a Tomei from RHD. This is how my oilsystem will look when i recieve the Tomeipump! Tomeipump Tomei buffleplates etc. Home extended sump with 1.9l 10mm external oil return from the head down to the sump extension 1.5mm restrictors in the front and the rear block, or 1 1.2mm in the rear. Also a 1.5-1.2 restrictor to my turbo |

Why do pumps break??one issue along with RPM and balancing, could be there is cavatation on oil entry from the pick up, causing the gears to make contact and smash?? just a thought
Could this also be due to low oil in the sump due to high flow to the head and return is only gravity when it has been pumped up there at what 4-7 bar. 1.25mm reducer, oil return from the back of the head , increase oil return galleries, tomie Baffle, oil cooler,balanced ,ATI damper.

i have done my second engine and mine was limited to 8500RPm. Its not a one fix answer it is about saving the engine isn't it. Just say no problems till 10k and starvation is completely different isn't an answer. It is all about oil and how to keep in the right area. What about 8500rpm cornering accel/decel.

I personally took a "stock" rb26 to 9000 rpm on many occasions.
We had a PFC with no rev limiter set up(max) unopened engine with 125k on the clock About three months into the rat bagging oil started showing up in the radiator. We ripped the head off and found the block was fractured all over the place from visually inspecting the deck. There were no oiling problems at all in the time i used that engine, it had to deal with -30 cold starts on 15w40 oil to boot. The only mistake was using the oem damper. In the recent year and a bit people have begun "preaching" that oil returns are a must, "you can't build an engine without them". Quite frankly that is bull. RB's have made it for 15+ years. It seems the new fancy dancy stuff, which does serve a purpose, has begun to take precedent over the old what works goodies. Cleaning up the gallaries, some good baffles and a proper sized restrictor for the engine you are building and you will not have any issues. If you are going to be tracking the car there are some other things that could be utilized but thats another story. Your post makes no sense to me, but further exploring the previous one about 5 up from here. Pump cavitation presents itself in two forms in my mind. There is the "real" cavitation caused by air bubbles being introduced into the oil when you move it around so much and then there is the running your dry cavitation which should just be called running the sump dry. |
