Oil Pump help/opinions
Ok so im finishing up my turbo set up on my LS integra and was looking into changing the oil pump. Will a new OEM replacement work well or should i buy a high flow pump? Did any of you turbo guys change your pumps?
Here's some info on my set up:
Parts on the Cylinder Head:
Crower Camshafts
Crower Valve Springs
Crower Retainers
KMS Valves ( std size)
Port & Polish
Cylinder Block:
LS Pistons
Block Guard
LS Rods
New Bearings
Not looking to make much power but just trying to beef up the motor a bit.

two @600hp cars on oem.
had a grenade problem that was traced back to a bad crank pulley and no dowel pins between the tranny and block. no problems since.

i used a brand new OEM oil pump on my current build. right from startup i had a low oil pressure issue. about 50-55psi MAX.
so i looked for a different solution and i came up with this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/B16-B...Q5fAccessories
he basically take a new OEM pump and ports it out. puts in a new billet oil pump gear and shims the relief spring for more pressure.
endyn offers the same service but without changing the gear rotor.
i now get a solid 80psi of oil pressure. and it can go as high as 90-95psi before the relief valve opens and settles to 80-85psi.
most people have good luck with a untouched OEM pump.
