Accusump Installed this weekend...

[insite]

seriously. it still turns over & will run, but it bangs & clatters. weird that it happened right off the bat.

Just got the X51 oil pan and deep sump spacer installed this morning. Accusump is too much for what I need since I don't foresee putting R-comps on and I am not that skillful to push the car to its full cornering limit yet.

I have street tires on my car and destroyed my engine. I had always heard that you'll only have an issue if you have slick. I think Jake's explanation seems most likely. If I ever track by Boxster again (which is unlikely at this point), I will be putting in some race oil before I head to the track.

What grade of oil were you using when things went wrong?

I've thought about an Accusump for my 3.8 since I stuffed the thing in the car, but what comes up in my mind, is rather than running a super stubby oil filter ON the sandwich plate (that needs to be changed extremely frequently), why not just run an in-line filter (available from several sources, including the folks who make the Accusump- Canton Racing), which could be plumbed in and mounted in the rear trunk, next to the Accusump. It's only one more oil line, and a few more fittings.

Surfer you are thinking man! Changing the filter all the time is why I would want to avoid the accusump...maybe you have something here! What filter and hardware were you thinking about?
