Accusump Oil Accumulator On Rb25 Set Up

[falky929]

hey guys

im looking at buying a accusump oil accumulator for my rb25 and mounting it in the boot as I don't have room for it any where else looking at the 3qt with 35 - 40 psi electric valve the main question I need to know is I have a oil cooler and relocater and I was going to plumb it onto the return line back to the motor with a t piece do I need to run a non return valve so it doesn't push the oil back the wrong way??? I would of thought the oil pump would act as a non return valve there for not needing a non return valve on the t piece can any one shed some light on this?

also what is the best pressure electric control valve for my application?

the car is only used for track work

plus wheres the best place to buy them from in aus? or am I better off ordering one from the states

If you don't run a non-return valve, how would you know the pump has failed? Wouldn't this defeat the purpose of having the accusump in the first place?

Im pretty sure you need a one way for it work correctly. Could you rely on the one way valve in the oil filter to control the flow? I think if you plumb it after a remote oil filter that would work.

This is an accusump on a GTR but in principle its no different on an RB25:

Here is his build thread (you can just read the last bit if you only want to know about the accusump)
