How many of you guys out there are using "Accusump" pre oilers and where are you mounting them? Engine compartment heat has me concerned.... everyone using an external oil cooler with this type set-up?
I'm open for ideas--- (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) ------------------- KP |

I used to (sold it to a 944 guy) run my accusump in the front trunk.
right next to my oil cooler, aux filter, and battery. why add weight to the rear? it pushed way too much oil, so the front is not a problem. Ben, its pressured oil reservoir. When the pressure in the motor drops below the accusump pressure it pushes oil out into the motor. when the motor pressure builds greater than the residual accusump pressure it pushes oil back into the accusump. helps cure oil starvation in the corners when racing. a little too much volume actually and probably better suited to camaro's and mustangs. Although I think it did way more good than harm in the 10+ years I used it. I think oil accumulators are recommended over the accusump... or possibly they make smaller ones than the 3 quart system I used to run. brant |
