Is their a specific oil pump i should be buying? well what i'm saying is does it have to be honda b/c i found and itm oil pump for for 74.82 and i can spend 150 or w/e it cost for a oem one but dont want to if i found something cheaper....

I plan on boosting at least 18-23 psi, what happen was i blew a whole in the block and oil went everywhere so i found another z6 so im working on my internals and shop told me i should go ahead and get a new OIL PUMP, water pump etc even though i dont need it, but i dont know if i really need to buy one, i've never had a problem with mine in the past.

neone?

what exactly is your question? should you get a new oil pump? yeah, if youve got teh motor out, hell yeah, w/p, motor out? hell yeah, theyre not hard to change, but they are SOOOOO much easier when they are out of the car. if your running that much boost i would assume that all your internals are new also, probably aftermarket and your probably putting a pretty penny into this motor, so why not change/upgrade everything that will keep these parts in the top running order possible?

 

well i was just wondering if i replace my oil pump should i get an oem or is the one i posted a pic here is ok
oem pump is like $150-$160 this ITM one is 74 dollars but looks the exact same

 

IMHO, i would just get the OEM one....it's more, but the z6 oil pump has proven to be a good oil pump....so go for the OEM........

 

New oil pump is $117

If I was trying to save every last dime, I would use a used Z6 pump. Some would say that's crazy, but I've never heard of one going out. lol. But, if you're going super macho D series than the piece of mind is worth $117.

 

I bought the cheapest oil pump I could find... OEM supplier, was like $70 new shipped I think from Summit. Anwyays, I boost it and daily drive it. Not one issue.

I would use an oem pump with 100k on it before a new chinese one.

i agree steve, expletive *****y **** parts.... JDM oil pumps are the best though, they rock, 800psi at idle.

just kidding, go w/ OEM or leave the stock one in, cheap bastard.
