I learned a few things along the way.
In the first post in this thread it is stated the you can shim the pump to 11mm. Im not saying thats wrong or that what I did was right. Im just stating the facts and what I did and what I learned.
First the facts.
- The stock Oil pump...
Im only saying this because I saw their products in stock in person at their shop on Friday, I think they might possibly be the only shop in the US that has all the stuff you will need and none of the stuff you dont to complete the most beautiful and complete intercooler plumbing install that...

Some might know I have a 7M in a Z car. I first completed the swap in April of 2005 and drove it to the West Coast Z car Nationals the week after I completed the swap. Having a MHG and a box of ARP head studs ready to go I opted to wait until I returned from the...
Yea sorry for the delay, tomorrow night, first thing!!!
Yea its a very tight fit if you can look inside of the oil pan with the front and back alumminum covers off you will be shocked at how close it comes to so many parts of the pan and sump. It was a total PITA to make, glad you guys like...
No, No, No, and yes.
AN fittings need no sealant what so ever. The Tapered thread is where you install 2 revolutions of teflon tape (not teflon sealant or paste or puddy). On the end with the jamb nut you put silicone sealant, but only on the last few threads where it enters the Oil Pump. I...
Thats funny. Mine was almost impossible to get the splined shaft out. I needed a 3 jawed puller. I didnt take photos of that (sorry). But I used this on both the parts car and my car, and once the splined shaft was out this slide hammer did the trick perfectly. In doing the rear brakes I...
Whoo Hoo I just got the shipment of the delinquent parts. Only enough for 10 complete kits. More coming shortly. If you need em soon you better get on em. Right around half of those are already spoken for. More to follow in a week.
If you have paid and havent gotten your Oil Pump Supply...
Sorry no flow tests yet. But this mod eliminates all the restrictions between the pump and the Filter Adapter. If you follow thru with a few more mods to the Oil system I dont see how it cant be an improvment.
Awesome thread!!! more post like this is what I always look for. I understand what you mean but dont know the feeling, I built another 7M, my 4th one. All the others were quickey slap togethers or ghetto rebuilds, but since I spent serious money and time on this rebuild I am so paranoid of...
^^^ Wow thanks for the compliments^^^
Im working on other stuff at the moment but I will post photos of my pan. Sorry I dont have photos of before I welded the baffle in. I know I took them I just have to find them. LOL
I ground the spot welds out that held the stock baffle in then...
I have those Oil Pans Zinc Chromated and I install Trap doors in them to keep the oil from running away from the sump.
If your interesed in the stock pump modified like this then let me know. If your interested in a modified pan with kickouts for increased oil capacity please let me know...
I had never considered this swap. Great idea!!! A local friend stopped by last night and had me drill and tap his upper oil pan so he could install my -10 2JZ oil return line to do this exact same swap.
Looks like Im going to have to make more of those things.
I put a big 1/2 inch socket...
Very soon, I anticipate having complete kits ready my Monday, but like I have said before. This kind of thing is completely out of my hands. You wouldnt believe how many times I have ordered things like this only to wait 2 weeks to find out that the items that show up arent what I ordered. It...
Hey guys when installing these make sure the sleeves look like this. When installing its easy for the sleeve to get up inside the nut and when your torquing it down it gives resistance like its sealing but its not. Look very closely at the how the sleeve fits in to the nut so that you know what...
Im very sorry I did say "First paid first served". Im sorry to tell you they are completely sold out.
Yes the design changed, its just all part of the process. The ID is .527 IIRC I will post exact numbers tonight.
The next batch will take "AT LEAST" 2 weeks to finish. Im NOT saying I...
Well I have been rushing around all day and finally got all the parts to get the first batch of "Oil Pump Supply Kits" (thats what Im calling this mod) out the door. If you have paid you know who you are, your parts will be in the mail tomorrow. If you already contacted me about expediting...
^^^Thanks for your conrtibutions to this thread^^^
It seems nothing ever goes 100% to plan.
Im very sorry to tell you guys that I wont be able to ship today. On Saturday I picked up the tubes, and on Sunday I went to pick up the last of the fittings, remember each are at opposite ends of...
