As far as I can tell, it's this. Arrow pointing at the drain plug.

I'm disappointed to hear the prototype didn't solve the problem. But VERY appreciative of all the effort you're putting into this. And a serious thank you for sharing all this information.
I hope vertical baffles or some sort of alternative pickup tube can solve it, because I'd rather not install an accusump. |

I have fought tons of people in my line of work when they call me to get me to go to site because "it don't work". Give me something more concrete. What DIDN'T work? The basis of an accusump is simple, if measured oil pressure that the Accusump is reading is less than a trigger value, the Accumsump pushes the oil in the reservoir into the system to compensate for the said pressure drop. What matters is what air pressure the sump is pressurized with and what the trigger point and trigger mechanism is. Other factors to consider are what mechanism is in place to recharge the sump? Do you want it a one-shot only (ie: it goes off, you slow down and pit) or do you go all fancy and get their auto-recharge stuff with all the electronics? I hate it when people say "it doesn't work" without a follow up. Yeah, I got triggered.

After the pressure triggered solenoid valve in my setp on the RX-7 quit working, I just wired it to the ignition along with an on/off switch. That way I could just discharge it before starting the car (pre-oiling), leave the valve open while on track, then on cool-down lap close the valve at medium-high rpm to save oil for pre-oiling next start-up. Really hoping to avoid the complexity cost and weight of an Accusump in my '23, but right now it seems like it might be the best solution... |

You can start at post 25. KillerB doesn't say they don't work, he just doesn't believe ours is a good application for it. https://www.ft86club.com/forums/show...=152642&page=2 If I had the time to go down the rabbit hole, again, i'd link you back to all the info I read. I browsed a lot of other car forums to gather information before I made my purchase. There were not a lot of naysayers about running an accumulator. The gist of a lot of them echo'd the above, they act more as a dampener in the system and when using a manual valve they are charging when ever they get enough pressure to refill. This may end up being a situation where you don't want the pressure backfilling into the accumulator. I guess I shouldn't say "doesn't work" and said "don't believe the tradeoff was worth it."

this may be an obvious question but for the people that run external oil coolers on track, how do you judge the extra amount of oil you actually need to add to the system? do you add the volume of the hoses + manufacturer specs of the volume of the oil cooler? in this scenario you're not "overfilling" you're just increasing amount of oil since the systems's capacity has now increased

Doesn't all the oil from the cooler return back to the sump when you turn off the engine? In which case you would not know your true operating oil level! (And if the oil stays in the cooler... then you would need a separate drain plug for oil changes.) |
