D series Q?
O.k. please do not turn this into d vs. anyseries just have a quick Q? and I read about 28 pages of that...
I have 2003 ex D17A2, A local ricer shop says the oil pumps are crappy in these, He really didnt get techy on me but they are leet so I trust them, If I decide to turbo mine is there a better pump that will fit? do I have to worry... I allready plan to change the the head gasket to greddys, and other internals that arent to costly but, any help from you guys would greatly appreciated  |

just make sure your oil is never low and you should be fine. supposedly honda switched to a lesser flowing oil pump w/ the 96 and later model civics.

at 8psi it shouldn't be a problem, start worrying when you ccrank it up to 15psi, at the time you would need new internals and if you can afford new internals i don't see why you wouldn't change your pump...(if you even need to)
