Accusump on R33 GTR oil pressure accumulator

After installing an Oil cooler I want to protect the engine when starting by supplying the turbos and all other components with oil before starting.

So I purchased an Accusump form Canton Racing

It choosed the smalest 1QT accusump and the Electric valve #24-271X

After 8 Month of use I am absolutely thrilled. It works absolutely perfect. Before starting, switch the ignition on for 5 seconds until the oil control lamp is off. I was initially concerned that the pressure in the memory would decrease over a long period of time as I do not drive the GTR very often, but that is not the case. Even after 5 weeks, the pressure in the accumulator is the same as on the first day. For safety, there is an oil pressure switch on the valve that opens the valve when the pressure in the engine drops. The 2QT memory is  recommended, but because of the limited space in the GTR, I have chosen the smallest with 1QT. For everyday use and from time to time on the racetrack, that's completely OK.

The installation is simple, actually. The line is connected with a T-piece between the oil cooler and the engine. Electrically, I have a switch to turn it off so that when you turn on the ignition for other reason than to start, the memory is not emptied. The problem is the space, I wanted to keep the oil line short, so I put it under the headlight. The good thing is you can see the pressure gauge through the side wall opening and and you can fill up the air pressure too. But you have to move the tire valve and the pressure gauge upwards at a 90 ° angle. Actually, you should install a Checvalve towards the engine to prevent the pressure from flowing off via the oil pump. Unfortunately, there is no room for that at my installtion. The pressure loss is probably very low because it works that way.

I recommend that for every car to add some prtection.

It is easier to install than an extended OilPan or even a dry sump.

Hope this is helpfull to someone !

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      My BMW 335i

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
