zigzag240 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) My old 280ZX turbo oil pump is really worn so I plan on replacing it with a new turbo pump. The correct high-volume Nissan pump #15010-S8000 is $145 from my dealer and $223 from MSA. Black Dragon has the "1981-83 280ZX turbo" pump listed for $69 however. Does anyone know if the Black Dragon model is a Nissan part, or have they located a generic replacement somewhere? I would hate to order one just to find out it's a cast iron Melling.

duragg Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I need to order the very same part. WHat is a cast iron melling? Is that a bad thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag240 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Thanks, read that weeks ago but it doesn't mention the Black Dragon Auto oil pump, only the MSA. Edited June 30, 2011 by zigzag240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzzzzzz Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I just ordered the Melling M111 for my 240Z from Autozone for <$98 out the door. The extra 3 lbs of iron won't make any difference to me. I also have one on my L28 SC'd stroker project yet to be completed but darn close. There is talk of using a Nissan gasket. That is only applicable when you disassemble the pump to check, clean or blueprint the internals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag240 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 I went ahead and ordered the Black Dragon. I have the internal gasket, so when I get it I'm going to open it up to make sure it has the 40mm rotor..I'll post the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag240 Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Just got the turbo oil pump in the mail. Black Dragon sent me an ITM brand 057-1057 which is nicely machined aluminum and appears physically identical to the Nissan pump. I opened the case up and it does have a 40mm rotor, so this is the high volume model. The ITM website lists the 057-1057 for the cars below. Interestingly, they list three other models for the 280ZX NA, turbo manual trans, and turbo auto trans. I didn't realize this pump was so universal, maybe it supercedes the turbo pumps. 1990 Nissan 240SX • 2.4L L4 2389cc • SOHC • KA24E Desig. 1990 Nissan D21 • 2.4L L4 2389cc • SOHC • KA24E Desig. 1994-1990 Nissan Frontier • 2.4L L4 2389cc 1998 Nissan Frontier • 2.4L L4 2389cc • Base • Sold in United States 2003-2002 Nissan Frontier • 2.4L L4 2389cc • SE • Sold in United States 1999 Nissan Frontier • 2.4L L4 2389cc • Sold in United States 1998 Nissan Frontier • 2.4L L4 2389cc • XE • Sold in United States 2004-1999 Nissan Pickup • 2.4L L4 2389cc • SOHC • KA24E Desig. 1997-1995 Nissan Xterra • 2.4L L4 2389cc • SE • Sold in United States 2003-2000 Nissan Xterra • 2.4L L4 2389cc • XE • Sold in United States Edited July 8, 2011 by zigzag240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
