    New engine, new questions:z32 oil pump on z31?

    just like the title says, looking for a high flow oil pump or trying to see if z32 oil pump bolts on to the z31 motor.
    i have another member who is selling a ported/modified pump but would like to keep to an atsugi or oem pump. Since the turbo/auto pumps are NLA from nissan im looking at other options.
    thanks!

    I think the Z31 Turbo Automatic is your only option.

    Well since its not an option anymore. Not sure what else to do. I heard racing a turbo at high rpm will possibly spin bearings. I'm trying not to do that. Would slightly increasing oil pressure help with that? Going to turbo will use more oil too.

    The aftermarket "turbo/auto" pumps are the same as the NA ones they sell, just with a stiffer spring for more pressure…not more volume. I've yet to measure the gears in the aftermarket replacement pumps. I, or someone, needs to though. Diameter, thickness etc.

    Z32 oil pump can be used with a Z32 or VG33 crank and some modifications to the block.

    As a related side-note, I believe you can still buy the Nismo oil pump gear sets for the z31 pump.

    ok ive ordered an ITM turbo/auto oil pump and will try to measure the gears without taking it all apart.
    looks like ITM picked up their quality too. They used to be on the "Eh" side and now seem to be oem quality or so.
