Doesn't change my advice. I did the 006.

Not to my knowledge. And I don't think it is a completely dry start. Thing fills within several seconds.

Hi Andy - Did you install any sort of check valve to prevent reverse flow through the oil filter?
https://www.cantonracingproducts.com...structions.pdf Not 100% sure I understand the direction of oil flow on the N54 with your oil cooler configuration in relation to the filter. -Joe |

Thank you Andy - good stuff as always.
Some are saying that the check valve (which would prevent back flow through the oil filter) is a significant restriction and shouldn't be used. As to back flow through the filter, with how you have the Accusump installed would the thermostat prevent that? |

The check valve restriction thing is a good point, but I'd have to see data to support it.

Finished up and tested an installation of the Moroso accumulator. I'm using the 3 quart version and installed it in the cabin area on the roll bar.
I routed the 10AN hose through the front left fender well and then underneath and into the passenger side floor (rubber grommet not shown): The hose runs down near the exhaust side of the turbochargers but protected by the factory heat shield: I'm running parallel oil coolers and an oil pressure sensor which made for a somewhat complicated set of fittings: Completed install: I tested it on track this weekend at summit point. I took video of the accumulator's gauge around the 'problem' corner. It drops down to about 38psi, but engine oil pressure is showing around 25psi at the lowest. Top of the gauge is 80psi. -Joe |

So far what I can gather 1. 24-006 3 Quart Accusump 2. 24-200 Accusump Brackets 3. 24-275X 55-60 PSI E.P.C. Pro Electric Valve Kit Then what did you use for fittings and hose to tap into the thermostat return line? Also any idea what the thread size is? Thanks!

Thanks bbnks2 - I set it to 9psi, but agree, I think I could use a faster discharge rate vs a longer discharge time.
15psi might be good to try. What I find interesting is that the accumulator will stay cool unless you start taking turns and putting it to use. When I come in from a session and it's nice and hot, then I know it was being used! Now I feel more confident about going to stickier rubber. -Joe |

Carguy,
did you get this installed? Any pics? I am looking to install this kit into my f30 335xi w/ n55. Curious on your install. Op - you said you removed the Tee, can you explain more the routing of your hoses? Or a quick diagram? EDIT: AndyW, I Found some info you mentioned before in another thread. Nevermind. Thanks!

Just picked up a 2L Accusump and the 35-40 PSI EPC. Also accompanying fittings most of what the OP suggested, but I also got a check valve.
I went back and forth a few times on deciding for the check valve. I know for a fact a check valve won't hurt anything, but in terms of discharge from the Accusump it makes sense why Canton suggests one. That being said the F30 N55 engine bay is tight especially if I keep my AEM intake. The big thing in the way with installing it on the intake side is a large AC compressor hose. Hoping to find a goo way to manipulate that enough and fit it in. Will look at this hopefully over new years weekend. If not then it may be a while since this is my daily driver.

Hey I have everything ready to install and was wondering if you could give a quick idiot's guide recap of how to use the Accusump once it's hooked up.
Some considerations for me. I got the 55-60psi valve -daily driving -wife/family members drive it on occasion. From what I gather you only need to "open" the sump with the electric valve after an oil change to re-fill the accusump and from there only turn it on while on track? Also what happens during a cold start when oil pressure is 80-100psi? I assume even with the valve in the off position, the accusump still fills up? In this case wouldn't the tank hold the cold start oil pressure (80-100psi) and only discharge it once the valve is turned on. So for normal day to day driving the accusump would around 80-100 psi unless the valve is switched on? Also any details on the remote FOB setup? I'd like to do the same as well. Thanks Last edited by carguy138; 01-15-2022 at 12:46 PM.. |

Sure. 1. With the discharge valve not energized, the Accusump will always allow oil IN. So after an oil change, it will fill to 80-100# and hold about 2.7 qts. This is the default condition. As long as you don't power the valve, you can pretend it doesn't exist. So the switch mentioned below stays off day to day. 2. I have a two stage power setup like bbnks2 because the EPC setpoint is above idle oil pressure. He uses a switch in the cab, I use a remote fob for a solenoid valve. First, is a physical switch under the hood to supply 12V power to the solenoid from the battery connection in the engine bay. This ensures the valve doesn't stay on 100% at idle and vent the oil and more importantly, burn out the valve. That way I can power the system to a "ready" state for the track with the switch and then, right before going on track, activate the fob to enable the solenoid to power the EPC. You could probably forego the mechanical switch, but I wanted to avoid a parasitic electrical load when the system is not in use. The fob and solenoid are this: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...e?ie=UTF8&th=1

EDIT: I was also a victim to the EPC being installed backwards! I thought I interpreted the crude images correctly, but I did not. This will not damage the car or anything, but more of a hassle and a mess to swap it around. I will contact Canton and see about getting these instructions updated as this is the third person I've read installing in backwards.
So I finally got around to getting my system installed last night and let the air side sit overnight at 60 psi. Will get it started and primed after breakfast. So this was specific for the F30 335i owners, as I couldn't find anyone with it installed in their car. First off, I recommend only getting the 2qt accusump if possible, otherwise you will not fit any others in the engine bay; it is TIGHT. I also installed the 35-40psi EPC kit in hopes it wouldn't trigger at idle but after inspecting the sensors it is stamped witt a "37" PSI rating and I am sure its accuracy is within a 1-2 PSI. My car's idle pressure can get down to just below 37 PSI so I have my doubts. My EPC choice was due to this being my daily driver, nothing more. If I think its necessary I can swap out pressure sensors to a 55-60PSI pretty easily after seeing the whole system. I gave this opportunity to fab up an aluminum bracket and use my new tig, never done aluminum before, it was pretty awesome. With the bracket in place, I was able to determine using the stock oil cooler, just 4 -10AN fittings / adapters and less than a foot of hose. I wired up the EPC with the included switch and mounted it inside the small compartment next to the drivers side door in the dash to keep it clean and out of the way. This ended up being a very simple way to access with running wires through the firewall and drilling a hole in the dash. Can explain more if someone would like to know how. So I have my EPC wired as so: 12V into the main power of the switch, then the "ON" position wired out to the EPC, then the EPC is grounded to the AC condensor. It seemed to be in a perfect location, so I reused the grounding terminal on it and strain relieved the wires. I then wired an LED to be powered when the EPC is closed. This signals when the oil pressure is active. This was just mounted in the space for the steering column to keep it simple, but adds a nice ambient warning if engaged. So in total I have my parts list below if anyone with an F30 wants to tackle it. Its tight but looks great once installed. I suggest you remove the strut bar right away and don't try to work around it like I did. Especially when precharging the air side to test for leaks. Parts (All from Summit Racing) - 1x CTR-24-273X - 1x CTR-24-026 - 1x CTR-24-200 - 1x SUM-260086B - 1x SUM-260090B - 1x SUM-220047B - 1x MIO-MMBB-10ANBK - 1x RUS-634403 - 1x 12V LED Strip and photos attached.Still need to cut the engine cover and fit it. But I have an oil catch can to install too. Last edited by Fickert; 02-10-2022 at 05:44 AM.. |
