WELL U WANT THE BAD NEWS!! more then likely you are going to need new bearings and crank now. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[Vteckidd]

First things first

1) Make sure your oil pressure sending unit isnt bad.
2) Get a mechanical gauge, and hook it up to the oil pressure sending unit an see how much oil pressure you have, you should have around 10-20psi at WARM Idel

Or, if you want just reaplce the $100 oil pump for insurance, if the light still comes on, at least you have piece of mind

I hope not

[B18c1Turboed]

I hope not

Well the couple times we ahd that happen, the bearings where toast and so was the crank. Im pretty sure u better start shopping for a new crank and get some bearings!!
When the oil light comes on,its becasue the motor went below i think 10 psi of oil pressure, that aint good for the motor!! hope it works out for u

[Vteckidd]

oil light is less than 5psi of pressure.

as long as there is no load on the engine, it really want do any damage.

if you do have low oil pressure an you drive the car around, it will cause the damage danny is talking about

[Mr.Big]

Ok everthing is off now
I have a jdm b16a

So i just got a b16a2(99-00 si) oil pump and it seems like it dont want to fit.. Does it fit???? And i put the old one back on and went on so easy
I heard that all b16's oil pumps fits
im taking my break now tried of f ucking with this car
????

[Mr.Big]

I just saw on the internet that the del sol b16 has more of the same parts
that fits the generation 1 jdm b16a

[Tech5]

yes it will fit...I got a type r oil pump

[Tech5]

also if the oil sender is bad...it will not hit vtec...so that is why you dont feel power, check the sender out also....hate you do all that work an sender is bad.....

[Tech5]

only thing different is the new one b16a2 has a crank sensor where yours doesnt...

[SPOOLIN]

yes it will fit...I got a type r oil pump that is the best one to get, if you havent used the one you just bought, by the type r one,

the type r oil pump is the same part number as the B16 B18c1 oil pump. You just pay more getting it from ACURA.

[Tech5]

Correct....I just buy the Top dollar ****t....LOL....But the b16a2 pump will work on your b16a

[Z0_o6]

actually at my dealership, the type r pump is cheaper by a couple bucks... :ninja:

[Benefit]

hold the engine at ~6k rpms, if it starts knocking then your oil pump is bad

[Mr.Big]

Well it still did hit vtec
