Thanks for take the time to visit with me :-)


Well I have pictures of everything as usual!

If you have not heard of the accusump
it hold a reserve of filtered and pressurized oil
incase of oil psi drop out the valve opens ans keeps things going for about 45 seconds.

It also works as a pre oiler when you turn the key forward.
theoretically I never have to start the motor with out oil pressure on the main bearings!
http://www.accusump.com/

this is the Accusump, nice distro block, electric pressure controller / check valve
and the Gen1 lines that sucked.


look close there is a oxy cut on both sides of the bumper
with just a little bit of a cut out the accusump just slides right in.


here it is fully installed
you can see it thru the holes I cut in the bumper to help offset the weight of the unit.
I hate having clutter in the engine bay.
This is out of the way and clean.

once the bumper cover goes on...
it just dissapears.
I almost need a electric sender so I can check the accusumps nitrogen pressure...

The PLUMBING
pictured next is these are the gen.2 hoses
Eaton weather head 3000PSI 350F lines
Double braided tripple rubber sleaved hose
with crimped fittings aka not going anywere aka never leaking
the PermaCool 4 port spin on adapter take a PH8A aka Napa 1515 aka Mobil1 M1-301
IMHO the nicest and most available filter on the planet!

the 4 port permacool base feeds my in out to the filter with a fat 1/2 NPT ports
in / out from the accusump and send to cooler that returns to the engine
as well as I also moved my oil pressure and oil temp to this location
cause the new headers were all up in the sender port in the block


Any questions?

....the street looks very familiar Tad.....IIRC we took my ride down it on some WOT runs :-)

Kudos on the new exhaust

Tad - Ah, you have a pic from back when I had hair, was skinny (ha!) and good looking (double ha!). That was a fun evening - geat memory.

Nice work on the Accusump. I bought a kit over 3 years ago when I was doing the stroker project. But it is still in a box in the garage because I never found a place to mount it that I was happy with. Never thought of behind the bumper. I'll have to look into that. Thanks!

Passengers say its super fast.
My car always feels slow at WOT to me.
I'm ruined for butt dyno on my car.
The thing is set up so stiff for autocross work.

I cant wait to dyno and drag it!

at low throttle positions it feels like the car is 400-500 pounds lighter.

Do it!

If you copy my parts it will fall right on there!

You might want to add some 1" flame gaurd for the lines.
as the quad one will be close.

Thanks Roger

We need to go play again.
Let me know if your going to the drags anytime soon.
Autocross again in March.
I have heard all this Jazz about stick being better for autocross.
I would love a ride around the cones in a T56 B-Body!
We have a strong B-body group showing to that event
