If he only had 277rwkw, then his mid corner speeds must have been phenomenal. Although, 4L motor, 2 turbos and 10PSI...he probably had awesome torque which is more important than outright power.
Any way...I have been sitting around a LOT these last few weeks. One of the things not hampered by a bung shoulder is my ability to stalk ebay. This has lead me to find things I desperately need, but just did not know, or had forgot about. I have just become the proud new owner of a Moroso 3 quart oil accumulator (Accusump). I got it for $223 delivered, so cheaper than the oil hose I had repaired a few months ago here in Canberra.
Guess I better figure out where I am going to mount this now. I don't want it up the front of the car for weight distribution reasons. Behind the passenger seat would be ideal, but I believe this will fall foul of CAMS regs regarding hot fluids in the cabin. (I will read the manual - but my gut says not without some flameproof shielding)
The other option is against the boot fire wall where the stock fuel tank used to sit. This will mean longer lines. Apart from the cost of the hose I cant see an issue. (The -10 hose is relatively cheap compared to the fittings on each end so the length is not a major expense.) Given it works on a pressure differential, and fluids do not compress it really should not matter how long the oil lines are? I have seen a lot of race cars with oil/air separator tanks in the boot.
