is it 100% necessary to run a vtec oil pump??? im askin this a little late caus emy friend did NOT change his pump and is bitching about vtec falling out and i think it is due to lack of oil pressure.

he said at 3 grand he can cover up the oil feed line with his finger and block it off completely.............

also he used the front port onhis head for his turbo and burned up his turbo due to lack of oil???????

 

Vtec oil pump is a must.
Burning up his Turbo from lack of oil would be right. Get a greddy sandwich plate

 

whats the price on one of those sandwhich plates

 

40-75 I think I have an extra one somewhere

Im gonna guess that the USDM/JDM oil pump is the same.

 

yeah, they should be interchangeable. The jdm and usdm itr motors are very similar.

 

i'm going to go ls/vtec with type r oil pump...but do you guyz know if we need a vtec water pump??

 

a vtec water pump is good but remember vtec water pump=vtec timing belt
non vtec = non vtec timing belt
not good to use ls water pump

 

picked up some info&gt;You 'SHOULD' go with the B16a/B18C water pump as it is superior to the B18a/b pump and will provide more cooling to the now higher revving motor setup. Either way if you use the B16a/B18C pump, then you should use the GSR timing belt. Why? Because the b16/B18c water pumps have more teeth on them, which will cause the LS timing belt to misalign the crank with the respect to the cam gears at TDC
