Me and my buddy are in the process of building a 6-bolt block for my 2g. We are planning on using the car for mostly track some street use. Block is bored .020 over, We are going with the manley I-beam rods, Manley/or Je pistons 8.5-1 compression, Knife edged 6bolt crank. SBR stage 5/6 head, Gt40r turbo, ect. My question is, is the stock oil pump ok for this setup, should we be looking at somehting else. We are starting with just a machined block nothing on it so we need all new parts dont know where to get them and if the stock oil/water pumps are good, and what else should we be looking out for.

Thanks in advance
 
Shep runs the stock oil pump...so I think it should be OK for the rest of us. Also the stock water pump will be fine, but I would get a new OEM water pump just so it doesn't crap out on you.

Nah we are shooting to run 6's so I dunno haha J/K if he is runnin it then I am 500 percent confident i recalled hearing they were solid pumps but just wanted to make sure I will be going new with both parts. thanks
 
6s Haha, Im pulling 5s...no n2o needed:p . we'll have to meet up sometime when I get out of college, and my Talon is finished, and check each others cars out. I live like 50 miles from you...so thats like 25min away for me...or less:D
I check out what Shep is running @ www.shepracing.com, so if he is running stock something, then I know i can run it.
