What oil pump for my stock 1600 SP engine

What oil pump for my stock 1600 SP engine

by miles » Mon Aug 24, 2015 5:28 pm
Hello Technical department.

I want to fit an oil pump, with filter to my new 1600 sp engine.

Can someone please recommend one which will fit a stock engine (nice and easily).

I had seen this http://www.cbperformance.com/ProductDet ... tCode=1792

But I need advice on the best one to fit :)

Thanks

Miles.

I enquired about that set up and I saw this photo.
I was informed that that was a straight replacement but I cannot vouch for if it was correct..
Looks a neat set up except the filter is on its side for emptying or filling the bowl for priming and start up......
BUT I have no idea if this will fit or work with a standard bus exhaust or with a VS exhaust..
So short answer "No idea..!"

I run a CB Maxi 3 pump on a 1641 and placed the filter under the nearside battery tray.

The one in the link I've heard don't have a very good flow although I can't see why. I think Empi made one also so more likely that was crap, haha!

CB maxi 2 for me every time. 8)

I don`t like the use of rubber oil lines on the maxi 3, just another thing to worry about perishing or snagging/coming off and emptying your engine of oil... Also the maxi 3 type are more of a hassle when you want to take the engine out as its another thing you need to unbolt or disconnect and then juggle about - you don`t get that problem with the maxi 2 :wink: :)
