Seems like that's what the people here want to see along with your pump. I need to price some new pumps to look at total cost but this may solve one of the bigger question marks in my plan.

Great man, sounds good. Seems you have the correct supporting mods to go along with the pump, so I think you'll be good to go.

Very nice on the build, I think you'll have one heck of a setup when "finished". Are you staying stock stroke or increasing it?

New pumps are going for around $250 if I'm not mistaken. While that may push it closer to the Nismo pump, you're getting a lot more for the money. Better material for the gears, billet back plate, and a modified pump to help with cavatation at higher rpms.

Let me know when you're ready to move forward and we can go from there. Thanks for your interest man, much appreciated.

Timing wise, I probably wouldn't actually "need" it until November. That said, whenever you have 9 others and want to start I'll be a part of it. I'm seeing OEM pumps for ~$235.00 new so yeah I agree, better pump for about what the nismo costs.

As for stroke, I'm comparing thoughts with several people using a VHR for different things. Currently, I'm leaning toward staying with the stock stroke but I'm not the one that knows best. I am giving the requirements and working with people I trust to find the solutions we need to make this happen.

You're looking at $1100 shipped for a complete assembly.

Okay, that sounds good. I'll let you know when we get to that point, but I'm sure you'll see it as well, since you post in here haha.

I see, well good luck on whichever decision you go with. I'm running a billet crank with stock stroke but with a quite larger piston. Gets me right at 3.8L, where as you guys are already at 3.7L. You might want to looking into using a longer rod and setting the wrist pin further up into the piston and keep the stock stroke as well. That's how most of the GT teams are set up.

What's the price on gears and back plate only? Thanks.

It's a good price. I would go for a complete pump as I'm preparing to do an engine build now.

Great man, we'd enjoy the opportunity to be a part of your build.

Let me know when you're ready and we can get you added to the list.

Is this still being made or did it get chopped?

You're are right, been a little while. Haven't really had worth weight to post to be honest. Just know I'm still working on making this happen.

derraj06 · 10-18-2016, 10:46 AM

Still interested in this as well as I'm beginning to ramp up on the short block build.

Right there with you! Been a long time in the making, but it'll definitely be a nice upgrade for the VQ37 owners.
