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 !

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
