Shimming the pumps only adds a few psi supposedly an theres not much to port from what I've seen..

Man up an get the right part for the job.

Weird, cause I have seen Supra pumps shimmed and ported adn it will make 150psi all day lol... same with our B-series pumps, you shim and port those and bam all good to go... We shall see when I do mine

im just going off what i read on motoiq man honestly, theres a little bit that can be ported but idk..

we put a vet pump on nate's de an that shit will peg the 150psi gauge around 5500-6000rpm lol

i think if someones going to put an engine together they should try to use the right parts the first time is all

LOL using the right parts the first time is correct, but like many of us there is a budget in mind

Make sure when its all put together and you first start it up that you closely monitor the pressure with an aftermarket gauge, and if you drive it make sure the pressure is correct before you give any significant throttle? Perhaps use a thinner viscosity oil too at first just to make sure it's easier and lighter to get pumped around


There's a lot of DET blocks with VVL heads out there. My car included and I have zero issues. I am using the VVL pump though but have done some with DET pumps with no problems.

A lot more people use DE blocks

What's the difference between the two that's the problem?
We use the VVL HGs on DETs and DE with no problem.
The RWD block are more different than the FWD blocks and the VVL head work good on it with the VVL pump.

I don't know all the differences. The DE and DE-T heads are almost the same though.

Thanks for the reply's.
The reason im looking to use the pump on the det is because in Jamaica there aint no good vvl blocks not using here. If u come upon a block, the pump would have been taken off already or more than likely the pump had failed causing it to damage bearings.

I'd try calling Greg @ Gspec during regular business hours tomorrow (Pacific time) and tell him what you need. He can probably get you the pump as on his site he has a few oil related items for the VE. The # is 760-535-2259
