Very hard to plumb in and physically fit in the car.

Modified Magazine did a write up on it a couple months back after they did the install on their Time Attack S2000... Look it up on their site.

 

this sounds like a great idea if you time attack ur car, but for simple cranksof the motor, it wouldn't be worth the trouble....but then again....I was considering this to for my build

 

Iam thinking about it but first I wanted to know if someone here is using it.

 

i use an accusump to prime my engine and tension the timing chain before its first start after an engine build. then i remove it. i just hook it up to the engine via one of the oil fittings and then open the valve on a pre-pressurized accusump and watch my oil pressure light turn off and gauge go up for a good 15 seconds without the engine being on. i wouldnt personally install one for fulltime use in a car unless i was seeing pressure drops around turns, etc.

i do that not because i think the engine needs to be pressureized before the first start, but it does have a nice ring to it. i do it more because sometimes it takes so long to initially prime the engine, that its hard to tell if its actually going to prime or not until it does. By pressurizing it first, then when i start the engine a few moments later it has pressure immediately and i dont have to deal with those first few stressing moments when you first fire up your engine and watch that red light for what feels like a month waiting for it to turn off.

 

Several of my friends have them but none on a Z or G, they seem very happy with them. The pre oiling is a feature they seemed to think was good but mostly they got it to avoid pressure drops when cornering hard.

 

Here's the Modified Mag link... the Accusump info is on the second page

I was the one that originally posted on this. I have the parts but have not done the install yet (long story).
