Not to get too much off the subject, but I bought a high volume oil pump a couple years back to install on my last GN. I now want to upgrade the oil pump on my new GN. Am I correct in my recolection that TRW makes a high volume oil pump. If I'm wrong, what is the pump upgrade of choice?

Thanks,
Tim

Melling makes a nice high volume pump. They're really not needed. I have one just because my old front cover was bad so I bought the high volume one. Bead blasting the gears helps noticably too. I believe the melling kit is about $30.
