Nissan VQ40DE Oil Pump Assembly – Stage 1

The VQ40DE oil pump starts with the Nissan OEM housing but is assembled with our mirror-finished billet oil pump gear. The VQ40DE engines are well known for their fuel efficiency and dependability and boost between 261-275 horsepower.

This unit also comes with a preference of relief valve settings for high RPM pressure.

All assembled billet pumps undergo the following:

• Pump is completely taken apart, and all parts undergo ultrasonic cleaning, air blast, and hand inspection.
• Pump is hand de-burred.
• Our industry-leading mirror finished gear set is used
• Stainless Torx heads replace the stock fasteners
• All fasteners are torqued to spec
• Loctite applied to fasteners to prevent backout or loosening
• Anaerobic sealant applied to critical areas to boost pump up speed and reduce aeration.
• Assembly lubricant applied to all critical surfaces to get oil flowing fast on startup.
• Parts are blueprinted and issued with a specification sheet.

• 1 Shim +10 PSI
