Attention: TDR Forum Junkies I have a question that some of you may be able to give some feedback on. I have done some SCCA road racing over the years and in fact that is why I am buying a new CTD. In the Improved Touring classes we ran a device called a Accusump. It was basically a oil accumulator that kept pressurized oil so if you were experincing high cornering G's and your oil pickup sucked air it would still provide oil to vital engine parts. The feature that I can see an application in the CTD is two fold. First, it continues to provide oil after engine shutdown which could be directed to the Turbo to provide cool down after hard runs. Second, the device is used quite a bit at engine startup to run oil through the engine prior to cranking. The standard procedure is the shut the valve to the accumulator before you shut the engine off that provides 2 or 3 quarts of oil to the bearings before you start. Was told by other racers that it prolongs engine life by quite a bit since most wear occurs at startup. Is this something that would work on the CTD?
Sorry about the long post.
