Blown VVEL !!!

Is that VQ35 pump (from the Nismo link) directly applicable to our blocks? Sounds like $1,200 just translating japanese price.

Yesterday I forgot to mention about what I found in the broken Oil pump
its a small pin which I have no idea where it came from



next detail I found is that the bolt on the Camshaft sprocket bank 2 was a little bit loose
check this !!!
there is some side to side play on the pin


then you can see on both side in the groove that same pin where it hit the camshaft sprocket
Compare the good one on the left and damaged on the right

I talked with Nick at 5523 Motorsports and he explained me that NISMO does have an HR oil pump that isnt listed on their website but could take 16 months to actualy get it of be very luck to receive it within 6 months

He had a project with his chromoly oil pump gears but his contact seem to be disapeared or very hard to reach from what I understood
He had 10 of them made and lived up to 12 000 rpm which were also used in Grand Am cars and other race team.

I really hope he will be able to have a few more made , becase I cant see myself spending 9000$ for a drysump when that chromoly oil pump gears could cost in the 1000$ to have.
I do not do any Pro Race or evern have the budget for this but I do want something that will perform well . doing custom parts isnt soo much an issue.
