oil pressure on track

imported_mega · 10-11-2020, 07:50 PM

Might be time for an oil accumulator, 28 psi at 3000 rpm!

How did you setup monitoring of the oil pressure?

imported_mega · 10-17-2020, 05:11 AM

I added a oil pressure sender and feed it into my racecapture mk2 data logger.

here is more data, i'm going to add a accusump with 35psi switch, not sure where to put it though they are not exactly small

more data and video, those left hand high g turns are a problem. I do not see as high of G force on right hand turns, either driver or car setup error not sure.

I did the 55# switch. It only fits in one place in the engine bay IMO. My install thread: https://www.1addicts.com/forums/show...91&postcount=1

Do you have an oil pan baffle?
What oil/weight do you use?

no, I read the oil pan baffle threads and determined it was a waste of time as the data showed the problem is not resolved with just a baffle.

5w40, why do you ask?

mKilgore · 10-19-2020, 10:56 AM

where did you add in the oil pressure sender?

imported_mega · 10-19-2020, 12:27 PM

I would like to run the oil accumulator off the 2nd port but I am not sure where to get an adapter that is at least AN10, needs to be high flow unlike what I use for the oil pressure

Mishimoto makes M20x1.5 to AN10 fittings. I've seen both straight and banjo versions available.

imported_mega · 10-19-2020, 04:27 PM

I found an adapter in the garage, not sure how much space there is between the line and the hood though ?!?!?

and where on earth can I fit a 2 quart accusump, this engine bay is cramped

you can put it anywhere... in the passenger seat... trunk... transmission tunnel... under the cowl... wherever you can find a place to strap it.

regular 90* will hit the hood I think. I use the mishimioto low profile Banjo and no interfeerence.

imported_mega · 10-19-2020, 07:54 PM

that's much easier said than done, have you ever seen one done under the cowl?

I am contemplating relocated inlets and putting the accusump where the airfilters are now
