Im running b16 oil pump on ls vtec and at idle my oil light comes on. Does the b16 oil pump have enough pressure for my oil feed and my ls-vtec oil line? As soon as I give it a little gas the light goes away.

 

bump

 

From what i have understood, your supposed to use a 1.8 vtec oil pump for ls/vtec. Did you check the oil sensor? might be loose?

 

if the oil sensor was loose, wouldnt it leak? im just curious of whether ive got to much oil to spread around on a b16 oil pump

 

i have seen the b16 oil pump used many times with no problems.

Well its where the engine harness plugs into the sensor is what i mean. if your looking at the motor from behind, its usually to the left of the filter. If anything it just may be going bad.

 

ive checked on acuraautomotive parts and the ls,gsr, type r oil bump have the same part numbers. so i dont know

edit: just checked again. only 96-01 ls pumps are the same as the vtec pumps. 94-95 i guess have to change oil pumps
