I've just bought mysely a 92 k-reg sapphire cossie. Bought it cheap cos lad that owned it said oil pump had gone. I took rocker cover off, turned the engine over & sure enough no oil getting to top end at all! Stripped it down & got oil pump off & its rounded off the little hexagon shaft that drives the pump. Luckily he had sence to stop using it in good time & all big end bearings & mains are mint.
The car has a new 200 block, mahle low comp pistons, green injectors, -31 act, 3 bar hybrid etc & eas dyno'd at 330bhp.
So to my question, do i buy a standard oil pump or would it be wise to go for an uprated one?
What horse power can a standard oil pump cope with??

thanks
