I searched and searched but couldn't find anything with a solid explanation. I'm rebuilding an LS Block and will run it for a while before I can afford to turbo it. Will the stock LS Oil pump last me with a turbo setup or would it be advantageous to just swap it out with an ITR/GSR pump now since the block is disassembled? Is there any drawback to running a higher flowing pump before the motor is turboed?

I don't see why there would be a problem, and since oil pumps have a tendency to fail anyway....

Thanks for the input!

 

stick with the stock one

 

go typer or gsr

 

but why?

 

96+ ls = gsr, type r fyi

 

there are more teeth on a vtec pump for the belt then a ls pump

 

exactly, the dumbest thing you can do during your build is re using the oil oil pump, trust me trust me trust me please. If anything please trust me, I did it, it worked, and then it seized after 4k miles. $2000 down the drain for a retarded $100 part. Get a GSR/Type R oil pump right from honda for $100 obd-2 96+ pump. You need hondabond as well to mount it, use brand new bolts from Honda because sometimes they can be warped and not go back in coreectly, these bolts are about .50 each from Honda and theres about 6-8. Dont skimp out! Trust me on this please, I would hate to see you build a sick bottom end and then your old oil pump decides to fail with a fresh bottom end.

 

I would do what he said.. Everythough my stock one is doing just fine..

 

get a gsr its a constant 4-8psi more through out the rev range

 

Thanks for the responses guys, I'm looking into buying the gsr pump

that would be the water pump.

And yeah as already mentioned the 96+ oil pumps are the same (ls, gsr, itr), it will do you fine.

 

itr just so you can so you have one...but u really need a gsr pump and you will be fine

But remember, if your using a 96+ oil pump on a Pre 96 Motor, You have to find/buy the 96+ timing covers.
