I've got an Accusump fitted to mine (mainly as it was cheap!) and you can plumb these via a solenoid valve to keep a 'precharge' in the cylinder so when you 'key-on' it floods the main oil gallery. Mine generates about 0.5 a Bar before starting.

Providing you fit it the right side of the filter and use a one way valve in front of it, it sounds like it'd work OK.
