How many of you are using gear pumps instead of diaphragm types and what filter element (micron) sizes are you using?

Hey, Ron. What was the part number of the pump you got from RB Racing, I'm gonna go with their pump. They seem to know their shit. I like the way they talk on their website, right up my street.

Hey, Ron. What was the part number of the pump you got from RB Racing, http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/oilsystems.htm (table at the bottom of the page) Mine's an 03-1034 which is the middle performance model. But I see their photos above the table at the bottom of the webpage have changed to show only two pumps. I wonder if they've stopped selling one of them since they're wholesaling out to Mocal now. I bought mine last Christmas and got it a few days before the new year. It was a surprise because they told me I wouldn't get it until a few weeks into the new year. One thing to think about is that it comes standard with ORB/NPT fittings which I took off thinking I would use -8/ORB fittings to save space. But I couldn't find any from any source but RB. So I tapped out the pump boss on the exit side for an NPT -8AN fitting to keep the footprint a bit smaller. You can see that in the pic of the pump plumbing. It was not straightforward since I had to shorten the tap (3/8-18 NPT) so it didn't bottom out in the boss. The threads are close enough that they didn't get mangled at all... I checked that first. The NPT/-AN adapters take up a lot of real estate so if you're cramped they will sell you the pump with -8/ORB fittings already installed. Also this pump doesn't have an internal backflow valve and theirs is really sensitive. My pump is located high enough that I knew the 1.2lb valve would engage. I just thought they were a little proud of it for my taste. They were helpful in the only question I asked, which was if the pump specs were the same if I ran it backwards... the answer was yes. Good Luck |
