Just picked up a VE/RR oil pump. But my pickup looks diff...


Can I use this pickup? Mine has mesh on the outside of it.

Also if I have a DE UR pulley do I need to run the VE/rr spacer or the DE spacer?

I tried to search on this. But the threads I was reading the other day I cant even find now.

If I recall I believe the VE and RR oil pumps are different. And the pickup tube is definitely different than a VE's pickup tube. I would imagine you would use that pickup tube though as the tube going into the pumps are larger.

I dont know if the spacers for the RR and DE are different like the one for the VE is. But if does have a larger spacer than the de you would need to use the RR spacer or your pulley will hit the oil pump gear. But if you use the de lightweight pully and the RR spacer (again assuming its like the VE and is a larger spacer) then your belts will be slightly out of alignment. Thats why there are seperate pulleys for DE and VE. The inner part that mates against the spacer is positioned deeper from the inner edge of the pulley to align the belts properly.

Again you might want to research if the RR oil pumps are even the same as the VE as ive never heard of that and its never come up in any of the threads ive seen.

Easy way to tell would be when you compare the spacer sizes. If the RR one is thicker then maybe it is similar to the VE pump.

Ashton im pretty sure the roller rocker oil pumps and the VE ones are one in the same. The crank setup on a Roller rocker is the same as the ve along with the oil pump and pulley. I just guess not alot of people know this since the roller rocker seems to be a mystery to people lol

Roller rocker motors got ALL the updated shit! Better bolts/clamps and all!

Id like to see part numbers showing that. Again if the spacer is the same size as the DE one i gurantee its not the same as the ve pump. Guess you will know soon enough.

I know they have the 4cw crank thats a given but pretty sure the pumps are different from the VE. Maybe im wrong but the spacer and pulley will tell all. If you have a de pulley you can put it side by side and measure from the inner lip down to the hub that mates against the spacer and see if they are the same or different as well. There is a good 5mm difference between the two.

As for better bolts and clamps id have to say BS. Almost every RR motor ive seen has more leaks on it than an unmaintained highport and lowport from cars from 91-98. Just personally thats what ive seen.

The VE oil pump and RR oil pump are not the same.

The VE pully and RR pullp are not the same.

The VE oil pickup and RR pick up are not the same.

Miko I was under the impression its a high pressure pump. Am I wrong? Thats all Im worried about. Or did I waste my time?

Ashton I dont know about that. My Roller rocker had no leaks at all. The mount bolts are better, valve cover bolts, radiator hose clamps, timing chain tensioner, exhaust manifold bolts are better, Exhaust manifold gasket is better ect ect

From the looks of it the RR oil pump is the same as the GTi-R oil pump. I havent been able to verify part numbers yet though

From the looks of it the RR pump is a RR pump and a GTIR pump is a GTIR pump. It is what it is.

SR20DE pump 50-60 PSI hot ( 7000 RPMs )

SR20DET and GTIR pump 70-80 PSI hot (7000 RPMs )

RR pump 50-60 PSI hot ( 7000 RPMs )

VE pump 90-110 PSI hot ( 7000 RPMs )

So the DET pump is different from the DE pump even?? Ive always read they were the exact same. Also maybe a GTi-R will see 70-80psi warm. But aint no DET ive seen ran that high when hot. Maybe 65psi highest from what ive seen on my 2 det's. Then again Maybe im trippin though since its been a while since ive messed with det's.
