I'm thinking of adding an Accusump Oil Accumulator to my project DE/track car. The interior will have 2 seats but I would like to mount the accumulator so I can manually control it when starting the engine.
The one car I saw had the accumulator installed where the passenger seat is/was located so the driver could control it while strapped in. With two seats in my car, where else have any of you seen these units located? Thanks Race car this weekend at Watkins Glen with Accusump. |

No 6 cylinder car needs an accusump. If a dry sump car has an oil starvation issue, there is another problem that needs to be fixed. An accusump is never needed on a six.
Also, the 10 psi per thousand guidline is only up to about 50 lbs (at 7k rpm you need 50+ psi). After that, you are just burning horsepower to make oil pressure. |
