Good thread guys. My brother is running the Moroso one in his drift car with an LS1. I've done a few autocross events with it now and a couple of times have forgotten to open the valve. Maybe the electric solenoid to turn it on would be the way to go.
After watching that video I'm a little confused. I think I've been told differently about how to use them and when. I've been told to start the car with the valve closed then open when engine is running before going out on the track then close just before shutting off to avoid starting the car again with a sump full of oil. Did that guy in the video open the valve before "starting" the car then once the engine got pressure the oil flowed back into the accumulator?
I was of the understanding that you open the valve, extra oil goes into your engine and stayed there until you shut the valve. Appears they work a bit differently.
Am I right in thinking I could have one in my Camaro, that will see more street than track turn on with the key and it will really only do it's job on the track?
Cheers
Luke
