Haven't really had much time to play with this toy, but the bug is back and I'm looking to have it out on the track in January of 2011. Hope you've all been well. :beer:
That's a Canton Accusump Oil System Kit w/ EPC Valve. The car has a 13 qt oil system on it for open track racing. The system provides additional safety and insurance toward the motors longevity under hard use.Very sweet, I love the T1 Saleen spoiler. What's with the cylinder in the trunk?
Good luck, they are impossible to find and when you do see them they are EXPENSIVE. Your best bet will be Craigslist, eBay, and on forums.hey man where would i find a wing like that???

I had forgotten about your track toy. It looks ready to take on any challengers:rockon:
Hey man, I was wondering where you been for a while!
Hows your cobra running? Love the track toy.
Thanks! The car is on coilovers front and back. It also has an MM Panhard Bar, subframe connectors, strut tower braces, and a 6pt cage. Lots more I'm missing, but that's some of the foundational chassis and suspension upgrades.
It seems as though these motors are sometimes sensitive to oil starvation when driven hard at the track so it was an extra precaution I wanted to take to make sure the motor continued to perform. The stock oil system capacity is I believe 7 qts. Mine is now at 13 qts with the accumsump installed and is monitored by an EPC valve so I don't even have to think about it.
13 quarts is WAY too much oil for that engine with an accusump and one of our pans or any pan for that matter.
I work for canton and i am the tech guy over here.
I HIGHLY suggest dropping at least 5 qts out of the system.
Think about it like this.
The stock oil pan & fitler have a 5.5 QT capacity. The accusump you have is a 3 Qt. In reality it is about 2.75 qt due to the pre charge of air on the other side of the piston. Now you are at 8.5 qt with all of the lines etc.
Where is the other 5 qts going to go?
You are going to cause serious engine damage if you have 13 qts of oil in there.
Car looks great, accusump setup looks great just make sure you have the correct oil level.
If you have any questions about the accusump or any canton product pm me and i will be gladto help you out.
Appreciate this. I actually have a canton road race pan and windage tray as well on the car, which I believe increased the oil volume further. I'm probably over estimating 13 qts.
