Accumsump - Important Question Rb26 - Who Is Actually Running One?!

I run a canton check valve in my sandwich block (T'd in). I don't know what the 1 way is rated at for oil flow but now I'm curious. I run a tomei oil pump and see 3-9bar from cold/hot when driving/idling. According to other users this is normal but I also crank walked a 1200km old engine. So I wonder if this check valve has something to do with the higher pressure (alog with the tuner riding the clutch on start up, not starting with the clutch out)...

Clutch is a twin Carbonetic. Clutch parts were correct and the Only thing found missing was the brass pilot bushing. I did not do the build. I also had not started using the the accusump yet but the check valve was obviously in use.

Anyone have proof or numbers for actual flow of the canton? Compared to an earls even?

you do know that as flow goes dow pressure goes up. so that could explain your high pressure readings.

i dont have flow charts of the valve but you can visually see that its smaller internally then say a moroso one or anything else on the market. doing a quick google for canton check valve restrictions returns plenty of complaints from users. who interestingly enough ditch the check valve all together. i might end up doing this with mine. at the end of the day the oil pump itself is a check valve. oil cannot flow back through the pump

well not really.. your not going to have an air gap through the whole system. oil isnt compressible so it cant flow back or move back the length of your system due to the fact that again the oil pump cannot allow oil to flow backwards into the engine while running.

Would this be correct? Would it still draw oil if the thermostat was closed?

Hello all, can anyone confirm that the configuration pictured above works? I too have this sandwhich plate on my RB26, the 2 angled fittings go to the oil cooler, and I currently have the other 2 as oil temp and pressure. If possible, I’d remove one of the sensors and plumb in the accusump. Thanks

    • Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
    • Is the RB26 actually that far off the mark? Honestly from where I'm sitting a VR38DETT is not actually that much more advanced than the RB26. Yes, there is a scavenge pump on the VR38, it's smarter in a number of ways but it's not actually jumping out to me as alien technology. Something like a B58 or V35A-FTS on the other hand has so many surprising little design features that add up to be something that just isn't comparable.
