I'll be the first to admit I am an arse when it comes to mechanical apsects of cars, but I am thoroughly enjoying the thread. What would expect the uprated pumps to show on the oil pressure gauge compared to a standard one?

i.e standard pump R32GTR cold 5bar, hot idle 2bar, hot 4k rpm 4bar



Thanks Paul :)

Maybe in the future you could do a small and simple 'how to' of removing the engine as it is something i will be attempting this winter. :wink:

Also Ian, I would imagine Paul doesn't recommend laying your parts on the floor in order .. then kicking them across the floor. :wink:

The HKS pump flows a little less than the Jun pump 25% more than standard but is stronger and has a more consistant flow at high RPM . So hot at idle 2.5 bar 5bar at 4k .

No not a good idea but easy to do :oops: best to bag tag and put everything in the boot on a sheet

Cheers Paul.

I ask because I have the Accusump fitted and that combined with a very ordinary factory pressure gauge can sometimes give erratic measurements.

My accurate mecahnical gauge is somtimes miles out to the stock gauge so am glad i got one.

I thought the figures you quoted for the HKS pump was fairly similar to what you should be getting with a N1 pump Paul?

When I fitted a N1 Oil pump to my last engine the gauge pressure readings did not change a bit disappointing really

I have all the parts now to finish the job, it has been a bit slow the last couple of weeks as I was dragged off to spain to work, always happens when I have a job to do at home

Engine now back in the car. I have taken a couple of photos to show how easy it is to get to the starter motor bolts from the top with the engine mounts off.
