I think the X51 baffle does a good job at keeping the pick-up surrounded by oil. Is the X51 by itself enough??? hard to say for sure, but I see no down side to the use of an Accusump, and compared to the cost of an engine, they are cheap insurance.

Here is the actual physics of the force. For a given radius turn the force you feel at 70MPH is doubled at 100 MPH. It four time as much at 144 MPH and it 6 times as much at 173MPH. Force that exerts down is the centripital force * the SIN of the angle. Where the angle is the angle the turn is banked. the rest of the force is tranmited outward along the line of the radius.

Project completed today. This was not the easiest project, But it is functional.


Oil filter removed and a LN billet Filter adaptor installed then an external filter adaptor. The stainless
Braided hose is the hardest part of the kit. Tape with duct tape and grind in half with a air die grinder.


Almost every one I saw was on the floor which waste the entire trunk. I mounted off the firewall , and
used 2 aluminum angles.. The Preload gauges was giving me a fit with the dipstick tube so I used
ninetys to bring it out on front.



Put in a copper line to a guage in the upper CD tray, This is a temp fix and I'm am looking at what
else could be done there


I think I have about 8 hours into the project but I believe most of that time was getting the best
path for the hoses, and making sure I did not drill through the trunk floor into something.

This is a long shot but do you recall the thread/pitch/size or whatever of the elbows you used to turn the air gauge?

Thanks!
