Just adding my .02. Years ago ( I’ m old) we used the accumulators to prime our dirt track engines before we started them. So right before shutdown, close the valve. Right before startup, open the valve. Oh, always appreciate your videos. Well done.

As an retired ASE Master Tech since 1978, I am jumping off the beaten path with this comment. How many drive home with a vehicle equipped with “Auto stop-Auto start” systems. Trucks & cars alike suffer from the loss of that crucial hydrodynamic lubricant wedge! Racing or hill climbing is one thing, but if you don’t lease your vehicle or trade it in every two years, I would instal one with a solenoid wired to the starter solenoid. I want my engine to have oil pressure quicker than the slow drip of death sitting at a red light. Some would argue that oil is between the rods & mains, but a what pressure? None! I want a minimum of 5-10 PSI that happens to be slightly more than a switch for an idiot light specs. You can find room and an oil gallery to tap into. Galleries are cast into the block, drilled, honed and threaded cap installed. Hey, it is better to have a good engine in your buggy but also a way to tow it home. Unless you want to spend time to defeat the Auto off system by running the A/C on max during a -9 degree F winter in February! Your choice.

Even though I do not have a rock bouncer and probably never will I love these tech videos and watch them even if I can’t use the product on my rig.

Clear and simply explained as always.

I go off roading with a 1991 s10 blazer. It has the 4.3, which has the deep oil pan (to clear the front diff from factory) and I haven’t lost oil pressure on steep angles yet, and neither has bleepinjeep, so this really only applies to shallow pans

Great video Jake.... I'm going install one of these on my truck thanks again Jake

Awesome explanation!!!

Great info. Back drop looks good too

Great video, if your running an oil cooler how would you recommend the plumbing of the accumulator? Thanks

Hey Jake, Could you do a in depth video on cooling systems for rigs, sizes for different applications, all fluids, and parts recommended.

Thanks Jake!

I would try to run the dry sump system from a corvette....I assume that would cure a lot of oiling issues. I imagine they aren't cheap.

What size hose do you typically use to plumb this using AN fittings and hose? Also how would I go about installing an accumulator like this on a jeep 4.0 engine? I'm guessing the 1/8 NPT pressure sensor hole is too small to tap into? So maybe a sandwich plate at the oil filter or do you have any recommendations for a 4.0? It's plumbed using 1 hose tapped into the oil system right? and when or if pressure is lost it releases its contents into the engine buying a little time? I'm very interested in installing one of these on my jeep I'm just trying to think of where to plumb it on the engine, I don't really want to run a sandwich plate if I don't have to. I already added an extra 1/8 npt port for my oil temp sensor next to the oil pressure sensor its a little crowded, depending on the hose size I think I'd have to go straight to the block at the larger thread where an oem adapter usually is that reduces it from 3/8 or 1/4 npt to the little 1/8 thread.

I started to understand @ 10:25 onwards 🙂

So I have one concern. What about the fact that oil pressure is slower at idle than at revs.... When you rev up it would take more time for the pressure to rise? Also do you check your oil level and close the valve at idle or at higher rpm??? I am asking this because I want one for my daihatsu feroza :)

Love this series

Do you have a video of the Electric one ?

Does the billet block work on the 4.3 vortec?

Good video. But I think I can hear camera person breathing? Lol

How do you feel about the electric solenoid valves on an accumulator?

Hi jake could you tell me what is the transfer case do you use ang what is the best transfer case for buggys

Hi jake can i ask you some questions what transfer case do you use and what is the best and taf transfer case for you.
