building my LS and thinkin of upgrading the oil pump, i have heard and read that i can use a GSR oil pump on my LS. is there any aftermarket companies that make a good oil pump for the GSRs that i can use on my LS? or go with OEM oil pump?

SHUT UP

Yes you can use the GSR oil on your LS block. It bolts right up.

No need to go aftermarket on an oil pump even if you're pushin over 600whp

Stick with the OEM.

will i need the lower timing cover off of the GSR too?

with the pump.... or should i just get a new gear for it? how would that help (if at all)?

What year is your Block? All OBD-II blocks have the same oil pump even the LS. 95 and earlier had different oil pumps, so if this is the case get a GSR/ITR(same thing). They are $120-140 new from acura.

Keep using the gear that is on the crank, no need to replace it.

the gear is in the pump, not on the crank.

Hybrid_vtec

my bad, I thought he was talking the gear on the crank for the timing belt

JAvenger

thanks guys, still need to know if i need the lower timing cover?

Hybrid_vtec

No, I dont think! I never had to lower mine.

JAvenger

no no no, i don't think i'm wording my question the right way....

do i need the gsr timing belt plastic cover that goes over the oil pump and timing belt? or does the LS plastic cover work?

thanks

Hybrid_vtec

yes the LS cover will work
