In the world of high-performance 2JZ engine builds, every component counts. Precision engineering and thoughtful design can make the difference between simply fast and race-ready. At Powerhouse Racing, we’re proud to introduce the PHR Splineless Oil Pump Drive Gear Delete, a part engineered specifically for those looking to optimize their 2JZ for external oiling systems, whether dry sump or wet sump setups.
What Sets the PHR Oil Pump Drive Gear Delete Apart?
For serious racers and performance enthusiasts, the PHR Oil Pump Drive Gear Delete is designed to fit seamlessly into the 2JZ engine architecture, offering specific benefits that simplify and enhance high-performance builds:
- Tailored for External Oiling: Traditional oiling setups rely on the OEM drive gear to power the oil pump. However, in high-performance applications that leverage an external oiling system, like dry sump or wet sump setups, this internal drive gear is no longer necessary. By removing it, the PHR Oil Pump Drive Gear Delete eliminates unnecessary components, optimizing the engine’s internal dynamics.
- Weight and Drag Reduction: Every gram matters in a high-stakes performance build. By removing the OEM drive gear, this delete marginally reduces rotating weight and internal drag, creating subtle improvements that add up at high speeds and intense RPMs.
- Secure Front Main Seal Surface: Despite the gear delete’s role in removing the internal drive gear, it maintains a critical function by providing a reliable surface for the front main seal. This seal keeps oil contained and supports the long-term integrity of your engine without added complexities.
- Durable 4130 Steel Construction: Unlike other parts machined from aluminum, the PHR Oil Pump Drive Gear Delete is crafted from 4130 steel—a material known for its exceptional strength and durability under high-stress conditions. This allows it to withstand the extreme forces that accompany high-revving engines, ensuring reliable, race-ready performance.
- Simplified Maintenance: Built for convenience, the gear delete incorporates two slots, making it easier to remove the component when the crankshaft needs servicing. This is one of those small details that makes a big difference when the clock is ticking, and every minute in the garage counts.
Why Choose the PHR Oil Pump Drive Gear Delete?
For builders with a vision of simplifying and strengthening their 2JZ engine, this part is a straightforward solution. When building a new motor, if running an external oiling system, reach for this instead of the standard oil pump drive gear.
