Taken from their site

"The Accusump, the original automotive oil accumulator, is designed to provide the engine with oil pressure before the starter is even engaged.

An Accusump is a cylinder shaped aluminum storage container that acts as a reservoir of pressurized oil, to be released when there is a drop in the oil pressure.

The Accusump is connected to the pressure side of an engine's oiling system and is charged by the engines own oil pump.

Its simple, efficient design revolves around a hydraulic piston separating an air pre-charge side and the oil reservoir side.

On the oil side of the Accusump it has an outlet that goes into the engine's oiling system, controlled by a valve.

On the air side it's equipped with a pressure gauge and a Schrader air pre-load valve."

"On initial start-up when the valve on the oil side is opened the pressurized oil is released into the engine and therefore pre-lubricating the engine prior to start-up.

The Accusump holds whatever oil pressure the engine has at the time that it is shut off.

After the engine is started and the oil pump has taken over, oil is pumped back into the Accusump.

This moves the piston back and pressurizes the Accusump until it equalizes with engine's oil pressure.

While driving, if the engine's oil pressure is interrupted for any reason, the Accusump releases its oil reserve again, keeping the engine lubricated until the engine's oil pressure comes back to normal.

This release of oil could last from 15 to 60 seconds, depending on the size and speed of the engine.

In racing or hard driving conditions, the Accusump will automatically fill and discharge when needed as you corner, accelerate and brake."

Hope that helps

i couldnt have explained that better myself..... :-D

super cool 8)

Thats very clever.
Also saves on all the wear which occurs on an engine in the first few seconds when it is first started and has no oil in the head.
Where do the lines of the kit enter into the engine?
One problem though, you need another tub of oil when doing oil changes!

[Stuart]

You use a sandwich plate like you would with an oil cooler. I can live with higher oil prices.

So you have no boot space now ? ... still a blinding idea and if Keith has got one fitted then they can't be all bad.

Like the wheel too - did you fit a new boss or is your hicas locked ?

[Stuart]

I bought a HICAS boss from Whifbitz for
