Without the residual pressure, you have no accumulator. It's a reservoir. I would pressurize it with air after assembly and let is sit until the car is ready to fire. It should hold pressure indefinitely. I utilized mine for a couple years and it never lost any pressure and I had the clamps in the wrong place on purpose. It's fine as long as you don't over tighten. I would put them in the right spot if circumstance allowed.

Agree. Mine came pressurized when I bought it and hasn't lost any pressure while sitting a couple months waiting for the install.

I plan to do exactly that after we assemble it to ensure it holds pressure and that I didn't screw something up.

It's not Barbecue -- you'll be fine.....

I found a Moroso filter adapter that is clockable and will thread onto the oil filter fitting on the pan without hitting the pan itself. The only concern I have is that now the filter sits 13/4" lower now...which I didn't think would be an issue, but now the bottom of the filter sits almost as low as the bottom of the bell housing....even lower that the headers and the sub cross member. Would it be possible to smack the filter on a course curb, speed bump, etc and rip it open or damage it? Basically the bottom of the filter is now lower than the bottom of the pan...which is nearly at the same level as the sub cross member.

First piece of the puzzle: the Accusump itself. Ron ordered me one that was disassembled so that I could have the cylinder powder coated. Turns out it's so simple that I could have just taken it apart myself. But oh well...

I put it back together today and aired it up to check for leaks. We'll see where the pressure is in a couple of days. I'll work on mounting it next week.

Monday I'll be working on the new lines and the wiring to control the EPC.
