COSWORTH
YBP 2.0 liter, from 07/94 to 01/96 Engine modifications from the previous
YBT engine:
- Garrett T25 low inertia turbocharger
- Ford EEC-IV engine management module
- new throttle body
- new exhaust manifold plenum chamber
- new engine coolant / air temperature sensors
- new crankshaft pulley and new engine speed sensor
- new sequential fuel injection timing sensor
- new mass air flow sensor
- new long-life spark plugs (extended 20,000 mile change intervals)
- new breakerless direct ignition system with high tension spark plug
mounted coils
- improved long-life oil filter (extended 10,000 mile oil/filter change
intervals)
- redesigned high speed oil control system w/ new baffles and separator
- new oil pump and piston oil spray jets
- redesigned cylinder head incorporating new long-life valve guides
- new long-life engine oil seals
- recalibrated power curve peaking at lower engine revs (5,750 instead
of 6,250 rpm)
- revised flatter torque curve (90% peak now exceeded over 20% wider
range)
- revised overboost strategy (up to 8 secs instead of between 2 and 3
secs)
Both engines have the same power and torque. The YBP produces power
and torque at lower rpm than the YBT. Our understanding is that the YBT
configuration, especially the larger turbo, was for the purpose of World
Rally homologation. The YBT is much simpler to increase power output to
high levels, e.g. 300+ hp. The later version, YBP engine, is restricted
by the smaller turbo and eec-iv engine management system and consequently
more difficult to effectively increase the power.
