I have just bought a 2002 Subaru WRX for TRack Day use. When visituing a recent track day a number of drivers advised that I should install an accusump as one of the first improvements - to look after the engine.
After taslking to various suppliers and technical people my plan is to install an 4 pint accusump,an eletric control valve (EPC) with connection to the oil system via a snadwitch plate fitted on the oil filter. Seems a simple installation. My question is:
-The EPC I believe I require operates in the 20-25psi range - does this seem correct? Subaru manual quoates oil pressure at 5000rpm as 43pis.

Separately to get track ready I am planning to do/have done: change all discs and pads; fit accusump; replace timing belt and velt belt; removed air con system; install roll cage; install 4 point belts; and move battery to boot to create some room under hood. I know there is stacks that can be done - but what does this look like as a priority list.
Cheers

Thanks for input. Absoluitely agree with tuition - will sort on first day out.
The engine is standard at present and as I am new to tracking perhaps I am being a bit ambitous with the accusump.
Let's see how it goes! Cheers

Yep it's me, thanks for your advise. Just been fitting the accusump this last week end. Already done all new brake pads and discs and timing belt and v belt. Once accusump is piped then just roll cage and ready to test her out. Hopefully in next 2 weeks.

Hopefully see you at the track some time soon.
Cheers
