Hi all what oil pressure should i have at idle and say 3.5k? I have just put a new pump in my escos but pressure seems low to me.

 

30 plus on idle and 65 plus at 3500

 

On my Saph I get between 25-30psi pressure at idle with warm engine and between 60-70 psi when driving. What pressure are you getting?

 

where did you get your pump from ?

 

Its a genuine 2wd pump from matt lewis because i'm running 2wd. The gauge in the car is reading just above the red on tickover warm.I also have a pikey mechanical gauge showing around 1 bar when warm on idle. raise the revs and the pressure rises fine just seems low on tickover. Think i'l buy a decent gauge and see whats happening.

 

does your oil light ever flash when going round corners?


A bar is low tbo, im sure the oil light comes on just below it, saying that its been a while since i had mine

 

not driven it yet mate

 

i think its either 6 or 8 psi the light comes on,then its too late

 

never trust the light as my crank went over a year agow and we had 10/11psi and no light and the crank was banging it head off

iv got a standerd pump in my yb out of a pinto and iv 58psi cold tick over 40 hot and 58/60psi hot at 3,500rpm

 

what oil you got in? Mine was shocking on running in oil but dropped some proper oil in and it's perfect. Around 30psi idle, 75/80psi above 3k

 

i snapped my crank in two and drove it six miles home. went ok. but a bit niosey

 

how shocking mate? im going to put mobil 1 in on tuesday see if that makes a difference

 

was pretty much half of the figures i'm now getting with proper oil in it.

 

Mine is 50-55psi at idle - warm idle 35psi yet to note driving

 

ihad a guage in bar ,fresh build was 4bar idle ,and 7 at speed,dropped to 2bar after a hot lap at the nurburg ring at idle ,but allways good at speed

 

I have 100psi hot, before even starting the engine!!, must put the sender on, keep forgetting.

mine with mobil1 on a racetech gauge is showing 25-30psi when warm, althou ive got a 4x4 pump in mine

 

25 psi hot idle
80 psi cold

 

70 PSI cold but ONLY 8PSI hot whats your thoughts?

 

Get a decent gauge to start with then go from there, also what oil are you using?

Dan

I sent a couple of gaskets for you, failing that give us a call

Matt

 

the manual on the yb stats 2.4bar@2000rpm

 

when you had sump off, did you check oil squirts if it has them?

 

Ok mate cool when did you send them? not recieved them just yet.

 

sounds about right
