Chris Wilson Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Large capacity Accusump kit. Protects the engine against oil surge when cornering or during drag racing or even drifting. Mechanical type, no solenoid valve to go wrong. Just fit an Ebay fire extinguisher or bonnet release cable and pull knob in the car and attach to the lever valve. Will pre prime the engine and turbo(s) for far less wear on cold starts, as well as keep a large reservoir of pressurised oil ready for the moments the stock wet sump is sucking air. Good condition, some marks, gauge doesn't fully zero, but is operational, it is only to show if it's pressurised. T into an oil cooler line, it's fitted with a new -12 hose fitting, can go to -10 at the cooler if you wish. £170 with £6.80 insured P&P to a UK post code.

pedrosixfour Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Me please Chris. Just let me know what you need to post it to the Republic of Ireland and I'll send on the full amount in a day or two. (need to attend a funeral tomorrow) I'll email you a delivery address as well when I get the chance. I take it the cable is used to close a valve at the end of a run to hold a charge of oil in the canister and then you simply open the valve just prior to starting the engine again to introduce pressurised oil to the vitals?

Chris Wilson Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Your name is on it, consider it sold pending payment folks, thanks. Yes, that's exactly how it works Damien! The valve is on the end of the assembly, with the flat arm on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 BTW Damien, it will be £6.80 to post insured to N. Ireland, and a lot more to the Republic, have you any means of grabbing it from someone in NI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say that I know anyone north of the divide that I could use so I'll have to stump up the extra for the postage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Postage to the Republic would be £17.50 insured. Sorry! I use DPD / Interlink via my wife's company and get great rates to UK post codes, but I have to use others for the R of I. Thanks Damien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Chris, can I just ask if the method of T'ing into a cooler line is the ideal way of plumbing the Accusump and if I'd need a non-return valve between the Accusump and the cooler, or will the oil pump stop *most* of the potential back-flow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 There's only a "return line" in dry sump systems, the return in a wet sump is via the bearing clearances and the oil pressure relief valve The oil cooler sees main gallery oil pressure. I will link to the fitting instructions once I remember what file name I gave them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will link to the fitting instructions once I remember what file name I gave them! I know what you mean now Chris, and where I was getting muddled. I was thinking of the hydraulic oil systems used on forklifts and such, the oil is either used or returned to the tank through the valve chest, one side the working pressure is a few thousand psi, the other side is held together with Jubilee clips! But the oil in those systems is always filtered on the return to the tank. The oil in an engine is returned to the sump after floating the shafts, so the only side the filter and cooler can be is the pressure side. But do you think a non-return valve is needed or will the oil pump restrict back-flow anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Accusump arrived this morning Chris. That is one big ass failsafe! Between this, the oil cooler and a big filter I'll be carrying more oil than the Exxon Valdez. Before it sprung the leak obviously. And thanks for your email clearing up the question about the non-return valve, I should've realised that if one was needed you'd have said so to begin with.

Chris Wilson Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 A big engine needs a LOT of oil if the sump can no longer supply it. That reservoir will probably last a few seconds at best on a running engine. The end pipe fitting is new, check i have sealed it properly and not just screwed it on by hand! Thanks for the purchase, have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
