Hi

Does anyone know where I can buy an Acu Sump? Do they go by any other names?

Just in case you call them a different name they are a spring loaded cylinder that retains oil presuure after starting the motor, if you have an oil pressure loss due to surge etc the spring inside colapses maintaining oil pressure.

Hi Pete

Thanks for that. I looked at one on an old touring car (the chikkde chicken Celica), Im pretty sure that it didn't need any air presure like the Morso do, Im sure it only had a huge spring it.

Ive heard that the Subarus have a few big end issues when cornered hard, these units sound like a good idea.

Hi

Did some more checking with my friend with the old touring car. Turns out the unit was from a 2002 BMW racecar, it does have air pressure in it, like the ones people have told me about. On my friends touring car they used a VW washer bottle with 40 PSI in it to supply the air, sounds like a good idea.

Tas, that would be nice if was using a VW motor, but Im using a Subaru one.
