This weekend I shattered my oil pump and I am looking to replace . I saw a thred on this topic before but could not find what I was looking for under a search. For one I am running a fully built ls/vtec that's boosted with a gt35r putting down 550hp. I do drive the car on the street on weekends and take take it to the track both. For starters what is the best oil pump to run, ( Aftermarket or OEM ). I would like peoples inputs that are currently running the pumps or have broken different ones. I have heard alot of different inputs, some saying OEM ones are the best and aftermarket ones are overrated and oposite. If OEM one is the best which one should I run? Thanks for the all the help. I will try to post some pics of this destoried pump.

 

what weight oil are you running, and what dampner are you running for a crank pully?

 

I run a stock damper because I heard it was easier on your stock pump. This is a new set-up so I just ran 10w-30. Is this the wrong thing to do? .

 

heres wat i did...been running strong for 2 years now...... after i blew a stock oil pump gear and a prodrive gear!!!! best money i ever spent!!!

where does one go about purchasing a red X

 

how bout now?

 

thats better. not legal for the street class's though if you plan to race competitivley. i cant spell

 

its legal up here in the street class!!!

 

Get a toga oil pump from this site
http://www.importperformanceparts.net
It is supposed to be better than stock.
I'm gonna give in a shot.

 

We removed our dry sump system to be able to race NHRA SFWD. We went with circuit worx instead of stock. We will give it a good test this season.

 

the pump failure had nothing to do with it being stock/toda/prodrive/circuit worx.....

Its more like....the line-bore to pump plane differences...
bent crank..out of balance crank...dampner
