i have to say i would be worried about below 3 bar oil pressure at 7500 rpm.
not a dig in the slightest thats insane power for a zetec its certainly gonna make alot of yb powered cars look silly

why does the oil pressure drop off like that ?
is it a zetec trait ?

cheers paul
thats fair enough mate it was a genuine question that i only really asked as ian's your tunner too and he spec'd and built it with the standard mains and to tbh if it was my engine at that power i to would buy them and a dry sump just to be on the safe side, but i dont think i would upto 500hp but ive said that from the start ,but the oil pumps well we all know they can be killers at high revs .

like i said mate i personally think that if youve spent Ł7500 + then its daft not to spend money on any weak link in a engine, as for ian specing the engine , ian speced that engine for 460bhp like mine lol, pauls engine now has more than 120 bhp more than ian built it for , for his own car before ian sold it to paul , so i guess ian would say if it aint broke dont fix it ,but i couldnt afford to rebuild because of a shit part like a oil pump /mains caps etc giving up the ghost. i surpose its like my engine when it was on the dyno ,i would of never reved it past 7000rpm if i knew about the oil pump situation back then , as ian said sunny run upto 8250rpm at brunters and had no probs , maybe i was the lucky one? its a sad case really when a Ł70 part is causing so much trouble. there must be a solution to the problem!!!

if it was mine i wouldnt be hammering it until the pressure drop is resolved. ive never seen pressure drop off like that on any engine ive owned.

do you really think we would send out a engine with poor oil pressure

on the engine dyno sheet, the oil pressure gauge takes a long time to rise and settle,

when on the dyno, pull, correct fuelling, lift,

pull, pause, record data, lift

in that short time the computer dosnt recognise the oil pressure rise

HENCE having a 10inch manual gauge taking pressure straight off a oil pressure take off from the block

dont try to teach your grandma to suck eggs

But then comes the queery of whether you should run a breather system with a dry sump system due to the pump and the vacum required for it to operate as best as poss...... (I could be wrong)

why does it recognise it in lower revs then ? you can be as sarky as you want mate but it sounds abit fairy tale tbh ? looks like the pump cant keep up with the demand for oil.

what did the manual gauge indicate at 7500 rpm then ?

im in no way questioning your dad and his company, russell saywell is a good friend of my family and he used your dad for his cossies and has always spoke very highly of him.

i just cant get my head around the pressure drop off ? it would worry me.

tbh after speaking to harvey,i`m in no way bothered about that.
after all it would`nt look good on scs,to send it out with low oil pressure
would it,

Did they do a power run after mapping? Is there a plot?

I'd be interested to see how the turbo spooled up on your engine

I take it your running a GT35 with .8 ex housing?

A dry sump set up runs negative pressure in the sump, you just need a oil/air seperator on the top of the catch tank for breathing.

Congrats Paul good to see ya back, should raise the bar by the looks of it. Dont worry about the comments, every Tom, Dick & Harry will have built an engine more Powerfull & better built its par for the experts that abound on here, hit them where it hurts in the record book .

This is a completely different application

The pump is the heart of a dry sump system

You have to consider the fact that the 2.0 block has oil squirters and an oil take off for the turbo on the preasure side. Also need to consider bearing clearances for oil preasure drop too.

Then you also need to consider the scavenge effecct of the pump as the oil requirements and blow by past the rings is completely different in Pauls 570bhp motor to a virtually standard 1800cc formula ford engine running 150bhp


Go with Pace all day long even though they are a bit slow

The design spec sheet they will send you for the pump is very important to get right

The recent article in racecar engineering highlighted the issues with getting it right first time.

Just my 2 pence worth
Some good points.

However having personally seen the quality of both Pace and Titan dry sump sumps the Titan wins hands down with the Pace one looking like it was cast from old coke cans by comparison.

However on the pump side, I was a little taken back that the Titan guy suggested feeding the turbo oil from the scavenge pumps!

The same Racecar Engineering article highlighted that the Yanks are most obsessive about crankcase vacuum - so why not a yank pump? Given that most Yank pumps will flow double (at 57% crank) what a Yb needs (3gpm) you could easily underdrive such a pump! Make sure though that you get either a external pressure bypass or a pump that bypasses into the scavenge side so not to heat the oil.

You do need an oil air seperator on top of your dry sump tank. You also mostly seal your engine but must have flow from the the top of your motor to allow the flow of oil/air to your sump/dry sump pump. Ever tried to suck on a milk carton? No flow huh! Some people suggest a open line from your head to the tank but I think better a vag reg in your rocker cover to allow flow of oil from head to pump and a flapper valve from PCV area so you do not blow seals out when lifting off throttle/positive pressure in crankcase.

Yes through Rainbird - engine is together now but not started. Good mate has same setup (titan sump/peterson pump) running in car - very good vacuum through rev range. I have got sump vac sensor so will log when I run.

ive found this very similar bhp engine but yb, little way down print out of on your dads dyno with steady oil pressure ?

i got the printout separate now yb here steady oil pressure :



the thread engine dyno prointout here :



if its the dyno cant see the pressure quick enough why could it on the yb ?

im a mechanic myself on caterpillar engines and i cant understand why it would do it ?

right, your welcome to come down tomorrow and see for yourself how the dyno reacts, if you decline i will take pictures .5 of a second apart of the manual gauge reading full pressure and the dyno one rising, would that be good enough for you ?

also, dave jackson jacko996 will be here watching his engine im sure if he sees this thread he will comment

right, dont get your knickers in a twist mate, so its just the yb made oil pressure quicker then on your dyno compared to the zetec ?

dont take my questions as dissing your dad mate ive already said i think its awesome and know someone who highly recommends him im just curious tis all

if i wasnt babysitting my daughter tommorrow id love to come down ive never seen an engine on a engine dyno in the flesh so to speak.

ok, it was that graph of the yb that made me think why would one engine do it and not another. it must be that the yb could make the pressure quicker for the dyno to see it quick enough musnt it ?

its not the engine making the pressure quicker, its the dyno not catching up quick enough

the cossie would have been help in for longer, the focus engine was not held for long periods of time !
