I’ve done a bit of research and people have made mention to upgrade to the N1 oil pump and water pumps is there a Rb20 Specific N1 pump or is the rb25/26 pumps compatible ? Any help would be great 🙂 ---

Little write up on N1 water pumps…[http://forums.gtrcanada.com/gts-discussion/38563-n1-water-pump-fit-rb20det.html](http://forums.gtrcanada.com/gts-discussion/38563-n1-water-pump-fit-rb20det.html) basically works, just have to seal elongated hole, and also makes mention that the guy upgraded to the N1 oil pump as well…so not specific just compatible ---

How come you want the N1 oil pump? Rb20’s don’t have bad oil issues like the rb26. I have been using a OEM water pump for a year now, never any problems. Guess it also depends on how much power you want to achieve. I only have probably 210? maybe less lol ---

I only have probably 210? maybe less lol I’m new to rb engines … and i’ve heard different things about the oil system from different people and websites haha … And yea i’m not looking to make 487598675986whp on a rb20 haha so i’ll probably just stick to the oem pump … Thanks for the input tho guys ---

I only have probably 210? maybe less lol If you make a Rb20 car handle well enough, you can starve the engine while cornering. RB’s are complete shit… ---

Anyways, I would recommend an aftermarket baffled oil pan if you can find one. ---
