Doug I mounted my 3 quart unit under the car on the R/S of the frame. I have a shield there to protect the tank and valve from road damage or stones hitting the tank. It's aluminium and can dent easy. IMO I don't think that a 1 quart system will help that much. You can over fill your motor 1 quart and for racing do the same thing as the accusump. I fill my motor 1 quart over to start. I figure 8 quarts in the pan 1 quart in the lines and cooler, and 3 quarts backup in the accusump. Most the drysump guys are running about the same number of quarts of
oil, 10-13. I know that from 2 years ago the 3 quart accusump saved my motor when a broken rocker shaft happened. The lifters from # 7 cyl;inder both popped out of there bores. I was running a timed lap and was not watching the gauge at 120 mph. I went 3/4 of the way around the track on a cool down lap and looked at the gauge with 10-15 psi of pressure. The accusump was empty and the motor was over full. I repaired the motor and fired it up. refilled the accusump and check pressures. There where no changes. I was lucky. Once your motor starts to build pressure from the pump, it starts to put back the
oil in the accusump. SLOWLY not a blast thing. You can mount the accusump any where you want, some guys mount themin there cars on the passenger floor or center console. My problem with this is, If the line blew or the accusump had a problem, you could get a 240 degree
oil bath and that would hurt.
The pressure in my tank is the spec they give in the info plus 10 psi. I have had no problems yet. I run a 15w-40 oil and 1 bottle of EOS and Lucas oil suppliment. # 10 line to the oil cooler line on a Tee setup. My motor races at between 65-80psi. It idles at 35-40 psi I have a HVHP oil pump. If you want to talk more on this send me a private e-mail and number to call you at. I also have spring weights for you if you want to autocross and road race.
They will get you into the ball park. Rick L. my number is 732-254-3536 after 8:00 pm est time. Good luck
