I was wondering if anybody else i shaving problems or has had problems with brand new oil pumps going bad on a high boosted motor? My buddy's just went on him and i have one going in my new build-up.

 

I had a brand new Type R oil pump in my Civic and after about 30 minutes of tuning and 400 hp, the oil pump gears shattered at 6600rpm. Oil pump gears were shattered, the inside of the oil pump was torn up and my turbo was garbage, luckily the car was shut off after the oil pump blew and the motor is fine.

 

whew, thats good to here the motor was ok, i was going down the road when mine went i shut the car off right away but the turbo timer was on and i couldnt reach it trying to pull off the road without getting hit, im hopeing its ok.

 

Whoa, this is the first time I've heard the Type R pump letting go.

 

i never heard of any let go then my firends let go at the end of last summer then mine went yesterday, stay away from western pa man, theres something going around

my new prodrive will be here tomorrow

Are you guys motors balanced the ususal cause of failure of oil pump is improper installation. Do you guys actually open the gaer measure the clearances

Me and tony from jotech have pushed the limits of the stock oil pump for the longest time. Now lately all the drag racers have been switching to wet/dry sumps but before that we never had any issues wit hthe stock ones just letting go.

 

will a shop that builds motors usually rebalance everything , or do you have to tell thme to?
things like this i need to knwo when i get mine done soon .

curious too.

 

i'd recomend telling them to, usually they wont just do something without getting the "ok"

 

its costs them money ot balance it if you dont tell them they wont do it. most shops though will ask you but most v8 shops wont..

 

i was looknnig into having Dan (93lscivic) do it . i think thats his scrren anme

 

If you send your stuff to Dan he will make sure its balanced. Hw wouldnt send it out with out it.

 

Cool Josh I pmed you with a Q i was talking to harry this weekend .
