    I recently added an oil accumulator to my track toy and it definitely helped stabilize the oil pressure. It just depends on the level of "racecar" you're looking for. For my stockish track toy it's a great improvement for about $500 ish dollars including the accumulator, and all the lines, oil filter mount, et cetera that I made. Where as a dry sump would be a couple thousand easily. One change I would make however is putting in an electronic valve, the manual valve is simple but inconvenient.

Because even though oil filters have an anti-drain back valve in them they are not perfect (and not all brands are made equal) and will eventually leak by all the oil leaving you with dry bearings. It also added some insurance on the track too.

    Daignosis correct. BUT you should have a 25-30psi oil light. A trailer light is best big and bright!
    And ofcourse an oil guage which is the first guage any engine should get, followed by water and oil temp. Than a tach!!
    A better pan and what I find to be an excellent deaeraration device, an oil cooler. Not so much for temp but as a device to deaerate the oil. You may have oil and oil pressure but oil with 20% air does not lubricate near as well as straight cooler oil.

      It is easy to do on a car engine since we have plenty of space with acc drive system with belts to run an off the shelf hydraulic pump. On a motorcycle engine replumbing the stock pumps pickup and oil galleys to do a dry sump is doable as well. The pump does not have to be external. With a small internal pump you would have to be careful about the length of the runs, diameter or tubing and lift height. So no 5 gallon drum of oil in the trunk area of the car. The thing to remember though about a proper dry sump especially in racing is that getting the oil out of the path of the crank and preventing oil starvation in sustained tight turns is only the side benefits. The real benefit is how much power you can build pulling a vacuum on the bottom end of the engine. That is why racing bodies like say NASCAR limit the size of the hydraulic pump that can be used on the engine. Things like bay to bay breathing on the bottom end become almost less of an issue. It also allows for far more oil capacity than would be doable with a conventional oil pan and the need to package things. In F1 using oil consumption as a means of increasing power and range with exotic oils some of which are designed to burn on purpose and creative PCV systems to facilitate that has also been done already as well!

    When I was doing the "motorcycle engine in a car" thing in a different context (also FSAE), we used to think that the starvation issue was more worrying with "normal" transverse mounting (where the lateral accel means slosh across the pan) than with "longitudinal" mounting (where the lateral accel is kinda like the longitudinal accel/decel the bike engine would see when starting and stopping without pulling sick wheelies and endos). I guess we all were wrong there, but right to spend too much of our lives making a dry sump. Thanks for showing us the light, and good luck with the new revision. Design, build, asplode, repeat.

    Happy New year Matthew. I cant wait to watch you have the the same problem in the Jag. Little known fact..... under high lateral acceleration the electrons will slop to one side and starve your motor of the sweet sweet juice and go ba-bang. Please be the first man in history to dry sump a Telsa motor. 2022 is gonna be epic if you do this.

    or too restrictive oil baffle. in a corner oil sloshes and gets trapped above the baffle and cant drain back. then straight up run out of oil under the baffle and around the pickup. could be something idk. also what's next? busa, zx14 would probs be better with the extra displacement than the rrrrrrrrrrrsp-r motor you mentioned previously.
    also how do you get a good oil level when you have an accumulator? you don't want it to suck up air cuz all the oil is in the chamber. or does it just self regulate and you don't have to worry about it.

      The accumulator self regulates. It can only hold so much oil so basically you adjust the level in the engine so the engine is full when the accumulator is also full.
      It depends on the system but, generally the accumulator basically just injects more oil under pressure whenever the engine oil pressure is lower than what’s in the accumulator. Then, whenever the engine pressure comes back up it recharges the accumulator.
      At the end of the day accumulators are bandaids and don’t really solve the problem. They’re good for pre-oiling an engine before starting it though.

      @@NBSV1 ok i get it just have a volume measurement for the oil level then add the volume of the accumulator.
      but how does it work as a pre-oiler? shouldn't the accumulator be empty when there is no oil pressure? ie. when it's not running before you start it.

    • @NBSV1
      @NBSV1 2 роки тому

      @@nick4506 It has a valve between the accumulator and the engine. Either a manual one or an electronic one. Basically if you close the valve before you shut off the engine then the accumulator will store however much oil under pressure. Then, you can open the valve before starting and the accumulator will push that pressurized oil into the engine to pre-lube it.
      Accumulators are great as a pre-lube device, especially for things that sit a long time. They help with oil issues on track, but aren't the ideal solution.

      @@NBSV1 cool, idk it seems like a perfect solution to me. adequate oiling with stock pump reliability? and without the cost or paracidic losses of running a 5 pump dry sump? sounds great. i guess if your raceing up the Guggenheim you will find the limits but i think it's adequate.

    Many years back I remember hearing a Commer van with the dreaded big end death rattle as I drove past in the opposite direction. I thought 'If he gets that thing home it'll be a miracle'. On the way back, there was the van, about 50 yards further on and a lump of metal lying in the road behind it in a pool of oil. No miracles that day!
    Good luck whatever solution you decide on, Matt...I'll enjoy your approach to the problem whatever you decide to do.

Or a cross plane r1 if you want that sweet sound. Best luck on your future endeavors and thanks for the amazing content !!!!

    I hope you find a suitable replacement. I'll also enjoy watching your replacement video series.
    The engine management desperately needs an oil pressure warning shutdown.
    You should be able to hack together something with a pressure sensor and an Arduino or ESP8266.
    Dry sump is definitely a better SOLUTION 👍

    On our internal combustion FSAE cars (using the '07/'08 CBR600RR) we ran trapdoor baffles in a custom oil pan which worked well, although FSAE autocross corners are nowhere near as long as those on a road course. The trap door baffles let oil into the center area where the pickup is, but they don't let it out. At least in FSAE, IMO you don't need to go dry sump if you have a well designed oil pan. We also overfilled the engine oil a bit which helped.

    I use a "snake oil", ProBlend. Since 1984. I have many stories, one is the block cracked in my Mazda pickup and all the oil went into the water. To keep it short, the temp needle was off scale. I drove over 100 miles down to Los ALtos and back up the Santa Cruz mountains. The engine started right up and stopped like nothing happened. The spark plug boots were very swollen. It was trashed but it started right up. I had used it for 6 years, 120K miles so it had nice coating of ProBlend (8000, 8080). So I've used it on everything, even pre mix for my sons MX races. It makes wet clutch's and transmissions shift smoother.
