Billet Oil Pump Gears and Backing Plate - Group Buy Interest??

1slow370

ARP m5 conrod bolts there is only one that is the same(thisis if using oe rods). Ideally budget allowing you would just get light aftermarket rods (not the heavy turbo rods out now) which would come with there own spec of bolt, and lighter forged pistons. When talking na, the parts you use for a turbo motor are not necessarilly the best choice.

Phunk,

In for oil pump gears and backing plate upgrade. Already in for the pan as per our convos.

Quick ?

The nismo oil pump adverts billet grears and is only considered "safe" upbto around 8k rpms. How will these be better. Besides price, nismo pump os around $1300 so even if theyre equivalent, yours are still far better value.

I will dig up more information. I dont believe the NISMO pump changed the backing plate. I also dont know if the NISMO pump has had problems on the HR/VHR like it did with the DE. Everyone that has personally told me about a NISMO pump exploding was running a DE. Supposedly the HR engines have some sort of improved crankshaft design that doesnt experience as much vibration. I will probably have to call JWT about it since they have had their hands in most worthwhile NA VQ builds and have a wealth of information.
