1G English Racing underdrive oil pump gear

[1cleangsx]

Hey guys I’m looking for some feedback on this part, I’m assembling my first fully built long block with balance shafts removed, and I’m aware this causes an increase in oil pressure, this seems like a good part to remedy that but doesn’t seem to be commonly used. Is anybody out there using one of these with improvements to oil pressure? I’ll be installing a pro sport oil pressure gauge so I’ll be able to monitor oil pressure on start up, I’ll also be on a 12an turbo oil drain along with a dual 10an vented catch can, but this pulley looks like a nice addition, what do you guys think?

Add your picture Jeremy. I assumed you had one but didn't post it.

This part lowers oil pressure 10% at all rpms. Not very useful imo.

I can't think of a a use for it except maybe a land speed race deal where you go for miles at high rpm. In normal street/drag use I've seen no reason to use anything other than stock stuff.

Awesome, that’s what I was hoping to hear guys thank you!

It doesn't lower oil pressure.
It lowers oil pump volume.
You'll still have lots of oil pressure - this is derived/controlled by the oil pressure regulator.
Reducing pump volume isn't a bad thing on the 4G63, it pumps far too much oil from factory.

That is fake news. My info came from ETS themselves.
