Hi guys, im quite sure my oil pressure was buggered due to the oil pump now, after going in a mates car and comparing. are there any uprated oil pumps out there, and if so, how much am i looking at?

AFAIK there are none and have been told they are not needed as a standard pump in a good condition can keep the oil pressure as required. I have heard that a tuner does know how to mod them to increase the pressure, if I find out I will let u know. Also depending on desired use would be worth doing the sump, ie baffles etc.

we have the largest oil pump of the sr20 family....the 200BHP 1.6L SR16VE N1 uses our pump. That being said good pumps can go bad.

Yeah my machiner can/has uprated my standard oil pump. I can find out more details if you want...

Increasing the oil pump pressure is a simple matter of just fitting a stronger spring to the regulator valve or even cheaper just fitting a washer behind the spring to increase the pressure :wink:

Was a while ago I enquired about an oil pump, but seem to remember a new complete one being around £300plus!

I would imagine its one hell of a job to change…
