[s-cars] Dry Sump for the AAN

[brian bilotti]

Guys,
If that's true that an accusump system is in that URQ
steve's right. I had one in Edwin. It held 3 extra
quarts and not only did it prevent oil starvation but
it also pre-oiled the turbo AND the motor when the
ignition was turned on. I had it mounted in the trunk
with 14 feet of ss line running in the tranny tunnel.
It had between 20-25lbs of air in it and a one way
check valve so oil wouldn't back up in it.
Now it's neatly tucked away in a box with the rest of
Edwin's remains :-(
