Accusump vs sump mods

[Beer Baron]

Hi Guys, we have fitted a Performance Metalcraft upgraded GTR sump without removing the engine.  It took a (long) day for 2 guys to do on the hoist.  It has raced on every circuit in NSW and a few in Vic since it was done.  I have not seen any oil pressure movement on the data log in over 2 years.

SK, what's the retail on the PMC sump kit? Also how do you reckon it compares to the trust kit (which comes with extension, baffle and new pick-up)?

Cheers,

Richard

You will have to ask PMC, I really have no idea what they charge.

The Trust kit is very simple, it extends the sump downwards (reduces ground clearance) and has an extended pick up and a cylindrical baffle. It increaaes oil capacity by ~1.25 litres. The PMC sump we use has wings (so it does not reduce ground clearance) out both sides with one way doors and baffles. It does not need an extended pick up. It increases oil capacity by a bit over 2 litres.

In funtion there is really no comparison, a winged and baffled sump is by far a superior solution. Hope that helps

Which brand/size accusump did you get?

DoughBoy,

Used the 3 quart canister.

just letting you know i know the boys at PMC have been making these sump kits for quite some time a couple of years and have never heard a bad thing about them. CRD highly recomends them as well, i've personally seen seem them fitted to almost stock GTR's to a 1200HP street GTR getting set to malaysia.

we too have one fitted to our GTR as well.

the kit is a work of art go and see leone at PMC down at euston st rydlemere.

same place as hi octane,different people.

great blokes!

Hi all,

Just thought I would provide an update on the Accusump fitted to the car. Its been in for around 6 months now and have had plenty of track days since then.

In that time I have not had any problems with oil pressure on or off the track.

One of the side benefits of the system is that because the canister hold oil under constant pressure, and it releases its oil into the engine when it senses any oil pressure drop, you get oil pressure even before the engine starts.

Turn the ignition to "on", the system senses no oil pressure so it starts releasing oil providing oil pressure for start up. For this reason I leave mine on at all times.

There is a manual switch version usually used in race cars and an electric switch version (the one I am using) which can be turned on and off.

Ultimately I will move to a proper race sump such as SK has advocated, but until then this has been pretty good.

DANOOH,

Originally I looked everywhere. Was going to bring on ein from the States.

Ended up getting it from Performance Wholesale http://www.performancewholesale.com.au/

I don't know who else stocks them, but surely others must.

I know this is an old post but besides purchasing the 3qt. Accusump what else is needed to install this on my GTR lump in my S14 silvia? What electric valve unit to use, and mounting kit as well? I will like to order this asap for my build, I don't want anything to give problems after install and have to drop the engine and box.
