Spider Oil Pump Drive
Turbo Mini Forums

sorry about the arty farty-ness of this pic but seems the most relevant one i have to hand considering the question i'm asking.

i took my oil pump off the other day and to my shock it was a spider type design which i have never seen before.



i cant find anything on this pump so i've no idea if it will be up to the job and then if it does need replacing do i have to get a new cam i for the right drive? or any ideas if i can just use this one?

No, just buy another spider drive cam style. Im pretty sure they still do them. Did you have oil pressure issues before? If you didnt why replace it? Check the insides for signs of wear.

It wont be a high flow turbo pump, looks like the minispares spider drive pump to me, i use one in my NA mini.

i think i'll give it ago non the less see what comes off it....

As said above you can still get the spider drive pumps from Minispares.

But not the Turbo pump. because of the slot drive application.

But you can get a spider drive with a slot in it. So that you can use the turbo high flow pump.
