Matt Lewis

 

My mate is having the same problem trying to get hold of a small turbo oil pump

He was told fords are stop producing YB oil pumps but dont take my word for that

 

These are on back order from Cosworth (and have been for six months), hence why no-one has one. There are some inferior copies being sold, but these have beem known to fail after a few thousand miles, so buy one of these at your peril. Always ask the seller if it is a GENUINE Cosworth item, if no, WALK AWAY!

 

Have seen some of the "copies" that have been done recently and the casting quality is shocking!!

As Mike says, if it's not genuine I'd give it a miss!

 

Burton power sell the small turbo oil pumps for £40

 

Think the Burton one is their own design.....Don't know how good it is...

 

Please refer to my comments above

 

i just remembered when i got mine off matt lewis he said mine was the last cosworth 4x4 HP pump he had

 

What he said .

 

That's what I was trying to suggest, in my normal Polite Way.....It's another copy.

Didn't want to offend anyone by saying "Don't touch it with a bargepole, it's another copy"......

 

We got one from Graham goode on sat

 

That will DEFINITELY be a copy!!

 

But did the job just fine

edited to say it was graham goode not woodford

 

It normally takes a few thousand miles to show up any problems, although a couple of people off here had them fail in a few hundred miles .

 

Disregard everything ive just said It was the £300 head gasket we got from there

so i'll now shut up

 

Women - KNOW YOUR LIMITS!

 

my pump was from burtons and they siad it come direct from cosworth its not ther own copy

 

Ok, I have just rung Cosworth, thier new 4x4 oil pump is actually machined, not cast, so if you see any copies they will have casting marks . Also, thier high pressure kit is about £12, and the pump is £140+VAT (£164 all in). Thier number is 01604 598 300

The YBP oil pump is not made anymore, but was never a special item unlike the 2wd and 4x4 saff/ BT escort, but is a pinto pump, so nothing to worry about, the burton power one should be fine - Spoken directly to me by Cosworth

 

Do what you like to your engines, I'm sticking with the genuine Cosworth pump, as I KNOW of several people who have had failures with the copies . In fact Simon at Woodford stopped selling them for this reason....

 

I think Cosworth know what they are talking about Mike

 

Will,
"Should be fine" and "Will be fine" are two different things, if you want to speak to someone who has had one of these pumps fail first hand after less than 150miles, speak to Chris Honeywell. If you want to speak to someone who has been on the receiving end of irrate customers , speak to Simon at Woodford.

If you want to fit one of the cast pumps to your car, feel free. However, I would not sell one of these to any customer of mine.

 

i am talking about a T25 cosworth Oil pump here mike , I agree whole heartedly that the genuine pumps should be used on everything else. The guy at Cosworth I spoke to said that the T25 oil pump was just a pinto pump anyway, due to not having the spray bar, and Burton have been direct customers of thiers for 30 years...... Can't see Burton selling shit to be honest

 

Burton : Oooooooohhhhh, Flood Gates Opening, Look Out

Never had a problem with anything from Burton's myself........but I didn't by a Cosworth Pump from them.......

 

i bought a pump for my engine from ggd and its only the internal part so thats why its cheap

it says you have to machine the old cover to fit

i learnt the hard way 180 miles .....................................no oil pressure,metal swarf in the oil

complete rebuild again inc head gasket,piston rings,shells,bearings,pump,more long studs

fuckn nightmare,had to sell my 4x4 saph to pay for it

second time round got a 2wd pump from burton(only person i could get it from at time)

they told me they were genuine cosworth pumps,but looking at this thread im a bit unsure now,but ive done 3000miles

and umteen run up on the rollers to 75000rpm and its been fine so far

 

Will,
I have oil jets and a proper pump in my car - in my opinion, it's the ONLY way to go. I would not sell any EECIV customer anything other than the proper Cosworth pump.

 

Mike - can you get a good price on a high pressure 2wd pump ?

I got one from GGR, but the fucker will go in the bin before it goes in my new engine.

 

what pump you using mike? there are NO EEC IV T25 pumps from Cosworth avaliable , if you have got some can you give a price for one please?

 

Will,
I'm using a normal 4x4 COSWORTH pump .

John,
I'd try Cosworth .

 

What you done then? Just blanked the oil spray bar feed ?

 

so how much is a second hand one worth then

 

Harvey modifies it for use with the Mountune oil jets .

 

Colin it must be fine to handle those revs

 

Are they the same as the T25 oil jets?

 

up for mike

 

Yes . Look on Mountune's website and you can compare them .

 

i bought a pump from burton 2 months ago and have not had any problems with it car has run fine every time i rang cosworth for one they kept telling me it would be a week this went on for a month thats why i bought mine from burton in the end
