Problem is we're arguing two different things and it became a moot point, so why continue?
You are arguing why a low-run OEM part is more expensive then a high-run OEM part or an aftermarket part.
I'm asking if the low-run OEM part actually is better or different then the high-run OEM part as I've seen data to suggest it's just "marketing". In the case some parts are "better" which are and which are not?
Example :
RB Oil Pumps are garbage. They have two flat surfaces that get beat on by a crank that's keyway is to short - even the long snout crank is to short.
Pumps fail because the uneven beatings cause the sintered steal gear to explode. (it's powered metal).
We have 3 OEM Pumps.
Regular - $230
N1 - $300 (typical to find for $230) : 15010-24U01
Nismo - $1,400 : 15010-RR580
Now one would think this Nismo pump would fix the issue - exploding gears. But it doesn't. It's not stronger then an Regular or N1 pump.
N1 pump flows the same volume, just at a higher pressure. Nismo flows more volume at a higher pressure. Both use powered metal gears that will explode. Nissan never addressed the pumps failure point.
Aftermarket pumps move to forged metal - and aftermarket solutions move to spline driven collars with forged gears to ensure complete surface contact and even distribution of impact force.
