After installing an Oil cooler I want to protect the engine when starting by supplying the turbos and all other components with oil before starting.

So I purchased an Accusump form Canton Racing

It choosed the smalest 1QT accusump and the Electric valve #24-271X

After 8 Month of use I am absolutely thrilled. It works absolutely perfect. Before starting, switch the ignition on for 5 seconds until the oil control lamp is off. I was initially concerned that the pressure in the memory would decrease over a long period of time as I do not drive the GTR very often, but that is not the case. Even after 5 weeks, the pressure in the accumulator is the same as on the first day. For safety, there is an oil pressure switch on the valve that opens the valve when the pressure in the engine drops. The 2QT memory is  recommended, but because of the limited space in the GTR, I have chosen the smallest with 1QT. For everyday use and from time to time on the racetrack, that's completely OK.

The installation is simple, actually. The line is connected with a T-piece between the oil cooler and the engine. Electrically, I have a switch to turn it off so that when you turn on the ignition for other reason than to start, the memory is not emptied. The problem is the space, I wanted to keep the oil line short, so I put it under the headlight. The good thing is you can see the pressure gauge through the side wall opening and and you can fill up the air pressure too. But you have to move the tire valve and the pressure gauge upwards at a 90 ° angle. Actually, you should install a Checvalve towards the engine to prevent the pressure from flowing off via the oil pump. Unfortunately, there is no room for that at my installtion. The pressure loss is probably very low because it works that way.

I recommend that for every car to add some prtection.

It is easier to install than an extended OilPan or even a dry sump.

Hope this is helpfull to someone !

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????

      Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
