The B18B Block
B18C1(GSR)Oil Pump Swap
One of the first thing I choose to do sinces I have
the Non-VTEC B18B block separated and clean.
Is to swap out the Non-VTEC oil pump for a higher
flow rate B18C1(94+ GSR) oil pump.
Below here you can see the p74 pump still on the block
How to tell the difference between the b18c1 vtec oil
pump and the non-vtec b18b.
As you can see, the GSR VTEC has only a little
distinguish part to tell the differences.
Tools used to remove & install the oil pump
12mm+14mm Socket, 12mm+14mm wrench, &
a flat head
Remove the 6 bolts(4 12mm & 2 14mm)from the oil pump
Installations is reverse of removal
Oil feed for the VTEC head
We'll start off with removing the allen bolt that is plugs to the head on the intake manifold side.
The Oil adapter size is a -4AN flare with a 3/8 thread.
Don't over tighten the adapter when installing.
Do It Yourself Braided SS line
You will need about 3ft of lines. You can purchase these from www.summitracing.com.
For the fittings, I used (4) -4AN flare fittings from Earls.
Now measure and tape where you want to cut the hose. It's
recommended that you use a vise to secure the hose
down. Then you can choice to use a hack saw
or electrical saw that will be able to cut thru steel Reason for
the tape is to prevent the hose from splittering apart. Don't let
this happen, because it will be very difficult to get the fittings to fit on to the hose.
Then you will want to use a wrench to twist the fitting cap on.
Do this to all four fittings and 2 hoses
This is a pretty simply and straight forward procedure to learn how to make your own SS lines.
Use electrical tape when cutting the lines apart.
Just don't let the lines splintter when you attempt to connnect the fittings together or it will
be a pain to get the fittings to fit the lines
