Does a b18a have a different oil pump than later models? Im building an LS and want to upgrade to the vtec oil pump, which one do i buy?

 

any vtec unit


I have a couple used jdm low mileage b16a units.20 bucks its yours

 

sold, gimmie your paypal. These are in good shape?

 

I thought that the GSR/ITR/CTR pump were better, thats what I read on the web anyway, I run a ITR pump only thing I noticed is the shape of it is different from the b16, had to use a different belt cover.

 

sounds like hoopla to me. b16a is just a high reving motor has any dohc vtec motor

 

all 96+ B oil pumps are the same i think some of the OBD1 pumps are a bit different.. i am putting an ls/v together and will be using a 96 gsr oil pump,water pump and timing belt

 

Yeah, sometime after OBD-2 came, all bseries oil pumps became the same, including the LS. Check the part No's

 

obd1 ls pumps are the same minus a washer

 

Not to thred jack but is it worth it to upgrade to a vtec oil pump for my B18a1 if im only gona be taking it to 8k?

 

I think most people use vtec pumps for a peice of mind, because vtec motors revs higher than none vtec, plus to use a vtec timing belt with a ls/vtec setup you need a vtec water pump, reason it have a bigger gear.
