These billet Oil Pumps have been designed and manufactured in Australia specifically to suit high performance Barra engines. The pump is a true anodized BILLET aluminium oil pump, not a machined casting. Based on the OEM version, with changes made after consultation with a number of Australian engine builders.
The pump bolts on to the same place as the factory pump and does not require any special tooling to fit. This pump utilises special oil pump gears made, specifically for them. The pumps have been designed to provide a higher flow rate than OEM and are made with a stronger gear for those pushing serious horsepower.
Rear cover flex on OEM pumps have always been an issue. The aluminium cover plates flex and allowing oil to escape back into the sump at high RPM. The Billet Oil Pumps come with a steel backing plate, eliminating this problem and ensuring that good pressure is maintained even at high RPM.
Extensive bench testing has been performed on these pumps, with specialised testing equipment, to allow real pressure readings to compare them to the OEM pumps. Pressure figures have been taken from 750 to 8000 RPM. There is no guess work – you can see exactly how these pumps perform compared to OEM pumps.

High rpm, high boost or track use normally justify upgrading the pump or billet gears, especially on engines known for oil pump weakness.
Do I need an oil restrictor or head drain?
Some DOHC turbo engines benefit from a restrictor and head drain to control oil pooling at high rpm. Whether you need one depends on your build.
What are the benefits of using the Spool XR6 Barra High Volume Billet Oil Pump over the OEM pump?
The Spool XR6 Barra High Volume Billet Oil Pump offers a higher flow rate than the OEM pump, which is crucial for high-performance applications. It features a stronger gear design and a steel backing plate that eliminates rear cover flex, ensuring consistent oil pressure even at high RPMs. This design addresses common issues found in OEM pumps, making it a reliable choice for serious horsepower builds.
Is any special tooling required for the installation of the Spool XR6 Barra Oil Pump?
No special tooling is required for the installation of the Spool XR6 Barra High Volume Billet Oil Pump. It bolts directly onto the same mounting points as the factory pump, making it a straightforward upgrade for your Barra engine.
What RPM range has the Spool XR6 Barra Oil Pump been tested at?
The Spool XR6 Barra High Volume Billet Oil Pump has undergone extensive bench testing, with pressure readings taken from 750 to 8000 RPM. This testing ensures that the pump performs reliably across a wide range of engine speeds, providing confidence in its performance under high-stress conditions.
Can I use the Spool XR6 Barra Oil Pump with stock components?
Yes, the Spool XR6 Barra High Volume Billet Oil Pump is designed to be compatible with stock components. However, for optimal performance, especially in high horsepower applications, it is recommended to consider upgrades to other oil system components as well.
