So im running the GTI-R oil pump which is basicly same volume flow as the VE but doesnt maintain as high of a pressure up top. But still alot better than the de/det ones. Way better. Basicly it is very close to the VE pump as far as everything goes and yes i do feel its worth it. With that much power you want as much oiling as possible because any slack in it can result in a spun bearing or worse siezed bearing and throw the rod. I feel alot more comfortable knowing i will have more than enough oil flow and pressure to keep the bearings very well lubricated.
Its definetly worth the 300 bucks and it comes with the aluminum pulley as well just like the ve one. The pump was a must in my book and probably one of the more important pieces to the build. The de/det ones just wont keep up with the power and revs even though im only reving to 8k rev limiter. But these studs should be very very well off mixed with my cosworth 1.5mm headgasket. Hell yeah. Ill be having the block and head resurfaced thats why i opted for the thicker gasket. Other than that everything else is pretty basic.
You are my hero. B16 vtech studs are going in my new motor for next season! Thank you so much ashton!
The GTIR pump flows almost as well as the VE pump, but you can see the design differences. The VE pump looks to be really amazing for high rev motors. I will keep the GTiR one because it works almost as good. I would expect it to cavitate earlier than the VE one but honestly, that won't happen until really really high rpm anyway.
