LoDollar92LX : 1992 Accord LX

[Shadow1]

I know atleast 3 people that have had Toga Pumps , not one of them has had it longer than a year cause they shit out, I remember literally a week after Mike put his in he was sayin it was a mistake he shouldnt have done it , Mike meaning lodollar ... lol I think the good thing here is even with a 500+ HP car he knows enough to shut it down and save his motor unlike some "EPIC FAIL" people we known around here in Maine that drive home with literally no oil pressure , MORONS .... but no worries Mikey let me know if u need a hand tearin it apart and doing the new pump you know ill turn some wrenches ...

you know 3 people and they have all failed with that pump? yeah. thats definite "im never getting a Toga pump. even for a temporary fix" .

greattt...oh well i hit 300 on it, and i dont think i'll be around Lodollars number... hopefully I'll find the happy medium

buy a harmonic balancer, or use the stock pulley...
harmonic vibrations kill oil pumps, no matter what brand
underdrive undampend pulleys are a huge no no.
kid here had a brand new H22, put a UR underdrive pully on it, and the oil pump shattered in 3 weeks

[Boost_Lee]

i agree, im running a stock pully until i can afford a fluidamper

damn i just read all the posts above and now im going to find a euro-r pulley or use the stock one. ive had the same UR pulley on the h23 for years and no problem. so now im going to swap out. thanks for the update

finally got the motivation to rip the car apart tonight, both gears are shattered into a bunch of peices. took a stock F oem pump apart too for the hell of it, and the toga gears are made out of a different material it seems, almost "grainy" steel.. where as the oem has a solid machined look. toga pump is def not a modified oem pump as far as i can tell, has none of the markings/engravings the oem pump does, nor is the pressure relief valve appear different, same hight spring etc... im gonna inspect the passages vs. the oem pump tomorow to see if there are any differences.
as of now, the toga looks to be a cheap autozone pump...

oh yea, my motor appears fine, Royal Purple XPR FTMFW!!!!!
my cams and rocker arms have no wear due to my stiff ass springs either, so owequitit, you can go spend money on a "permanent solution" ill stick with my RP oil on my 500+whp daily driven engine!

shit i have a toga high volume oil pump in my setup \= im only goin for 430ish hopefully it will be alright.

You mention your stiff springs, how does your valvetrain sound? is it pretty loud, like ticking as if valve lash is not set?

[LoDollar92LX]

the toga pump has no visible signs of being ported, and the gears are made out of a cheaper looking metal then oem. i am very confident in saying a toga pump is nothing more then a autozone or other aftermarket pump with "HV" painted on it.
ill get some pics
