Which one should I get for my 94 VR6?

Thanks for any help you can give guys

I'm assuming if you don't want the hassle of modifications, go for the first one which says it's bog stock original

That's what I was thinking, just hope it's the right one. I've had trouble with the wrong parts being sent before How were their shipping charges Mickey? Reasonable?

[Mrk_Mickey]

Yeah, pretty good. We got $600 worth of stuff sent over (timing chain kit, clutch, wheel bearings, various suspension things) for like US $140 so I was pretty happy with that

[The_Hawk]

IIRC they only charge what they are charged, either way I found them very reasonable whenever I have ordered from them.

But the next question is... why do you need the auxillary pump...
The general consensus is let it cool down a little after flogging it and it's all good.

Thats right ^^^^ I agree with the Hawk

Thanks guys, was thinking of doing the old by-pass. Maybe I'll try it out for a while and see how it goes before ordering the pump.

I replaced mine last year. the difference is the electrical connector.



make sure you get the right one or else you'd have to do some modding. I believe mine had two grooves.

I'd go for the hawk mod too, looks good. though it may put stress on other parts.
