FI oiling What is the oil pump u all are using in a FI motors ? I am confused on what to buy for my build . Do I get a high volume , or high pressure pump ? Here is the rundown on my setup . Lq4 iron block , lsa heads , night furry cam 9.8-1 cr forged rods and wiesco pistons , stock crank and I plan on spinning this thing to 7200rpm , and I also for got Novi 2200 SL supercharger .
Oiling is more a function of engine bearing clearances than what power adder you are running(higher volume for turbos being the exception). If you are running stock clearances on the motor then stock volume is fine. What you can do is up the pressure with a spring to help with the oiling of the bearings while under higher cylinder pressures.
For your setup: stock clearance stock volume pump/loose clearance higher volume pump.
