have read a few threads lately about oil pressure on the later cosworths, and a few people have said that the 2wd turbo oil feed is better/ is this so and if so is it a worthwhile mod on a small turbo escos, if goin' for about 350>380bhp

ive been told the 2wd oil feed setup gives one bar more pressure.

Its a worth while mod on a std 4x4 let alone a modded 1

AJ Escos

so whats involved, is it just a case of swapping pipes, what parts will i need

Rs Craig

ive been thinkin about doin this. Burton do a kit with a filter for just under £100 rsgus did it on his and the lifters are a lot quieter and better preasure...

Ian M

ive done it to mine i know its a 3dr but 4wd engine, and its a lot better.

I'm intigued - how do they differ and why are the 2wd setups better?

More of a direct oil feed on the 2wd system

RichardPON

2wd feed comes right round over the engine, no?

And the 4x4 one is right by the turbo?

SteveB

thats it

Neil S

So 2wd comes from the oil pump directly or something, and the 4wd is straight from the head - in that case fitting a 2wd one would increse oil pressure in the head, correct?

Neil.

the 4x4 one starves the cam and lifters of oil as it feeds from the same gallery that is why most 4x4's sound very tappety

AJ Escos

so what parts are needed for this conversion then i assume its not just the 2wd oil pipe, or is it (obviously i know you would need to block the original feed hole from head)

Rs Gus

the 2wd adaptor or RST it is the same and a feed pipe and a bung for the old feed thats it 25mins job

I have a list and finis code at work of bits needed

AJ Escos

could you email them to me m8 or post them up here when you can if poss thanks

wimwerf

but where the 2wd oil feed starts, originally on the 4wd there is the original ford oil pressure sensor.

where do i leave this then.

Rs Gus

iTrader: (2)

AJ Escos
