Thread: VE oil pump or not?

did some thinking and im gonna get the VE pump. I see on GSPEC.com it comes with a oil pickup, is that nessicary or can you run the DE pickup.

If you are going to buy the pump from Greg get the whole kit , you do need the pickup ....and it has the new drive piece for the carnk and a pullie , that way you dont need a spacer

What parts are required to fit VE pump to a GTIR bottom end?

I would prefer to keep harmonic balancer, or should i just dump it and go aluminium?

-VE Pump
-VE pulley
-and spacer off gspec??

EDIT: Do i need the VE pickup also???

x2

????

Yes VE pickup is necessary as it is a bigger pipe (flows more to the pump). Some of the VE pickups also place it in a better spot to avoid starvation.

That's up to you to decide. See any of the harmonic damper discussions (one very recent).

Well years ago Mike K said the motor was internaly ballenced , and if we where worried about changing the pullie why were we not worried about changing flywheels , the sr20 is not ballanced with the pullie and flywheel like alot of the domestic engines are ony the crank / rotating asembly is ballanced ....the info is out there in old SCC issues

OMFG HARMONIC DAMPERS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ENGINE BALANCING@!!!@@%$ 87r w89YTLSDH;CX'ADG

Do you balance a suspension spring coil?

NO!

You dampen it!

Same fucking thing.

Sorry I haven't had my pancakes yet this morning.

Its ok .......I always thought ballancing had somthing to do with damping inherant vibrations ....the better balanced motor had less vibration......but I guess people make mistakes
