Hey everyone- Im beginning to order parts and am wondering what to do with the oil pump-

A) Purchase OBD1 pump for 135, keep plastics that I have

B) Purchase OBD2 pump for 97, buy plastics for 38- (then sell my plastics) This would be less expensive.

So is there any advantage to the OBD2 pump? By buying the OBD2 plastics, will the top ones that I have (OBD1) bolt right on no problem to the bottom (OBD2) ?

 

The advantage to an OBD2 VTEC pump is that it's the same as a Type-R so it will give you that few PSI more pressure...

...or you just take out the washer on the relief valve and that's the only difference of a Type-R.

 

hm well I really thought I should get a new oil pump- I searched for information on rebuilding them, but all I get is garbage search results from internet brands...

 

Nah, not worth rebuilding. Unlikely you'll have a problem with a used one unless the engines been neglected, but if you even end up with bad side clearance youll be looking for a new one anyhow.

 

Yea I guess its not worth risking it- maybe if this was a ghetto build lol

Just trying to do it right the first time. thanks!
