Thanks for the video! Buddy of mine who has a BRZ is coming by and we're going to be installing oil pressure gauge and accusump this weekend in prep for track season.
As a new GR86 owner, thank you for all of your informative videos regarding the vehicle. Going to look into all of these mods to make sure that the car has a long & healthy life in my garage.
I’ve always wanted a prelubing system, since “80% of bearing wear happens at startup,” or so they say. Now I’d like to install this on my other vehicle, a 6.2 L G1 Ford Raptor, which makes noise like dry OHC noise at startup until it gets oil pressure. This might fix that! Great vid, thanks for the idea 💡!
Love your videos. What are your thoughts on adding a turbo kit and will you be adding one in the future? I love my gr86 but I wish it had more power and I’m looking in to what i can do to increase the HP.
Thanks for posting man. Are you at all worried about oil seals prematurely leaking from the increased oil pressure? Unless the crank breather can flow enough air maybe? Or just not a concern at all?
At 21:49, what is that part that you’re using to tap into for oil pressure? I am currently using a port built-in to the oil filter housing of my oil cooler kit, but my oil pressure seems to be reading high, even though my oil level appears to be OK. I’m thinking it’s because I’m tapping in into the filter housing.
Think you can help a brother out and let me know what that block you had plugged into the stock oil pressure spot is called, I can’t find any decent into on what adapters work for mating the oil pressure gauge to that spot and that block looks like it opens up some decent options. Got a link ?
Did you see the video by BTR Garage Justin where he says he had to bypass the pressure switch because it wasn’t working good enough, any thoughts on this?
I don’t use a pressure switch either. As it’s starting to lose pressure it will start filling the motor right away instead of waiting until it see less than 40 psi to start filling. I feel like that is too long before filling.
How much extra oil did you add. I did my install and my motor kinda sounds a little more choppy than it did before. Not sure if I like the new “Noises”
Not 100% sure but I let the car run for a little bit to fill up the accumulator and then added oil to where it’s about a quarter inch over the full line
I would run a line from the block to the T that has your sensors. I would be really sad if all that weight + vibrations from the engine broke that port off the block...
how did you get the electronic valve to trigger at a desired pressure? or is the valve preset to a pressure? i.e. valve A is for 60 psi, valve B is for 30 psi?@@phelpsgarage4202
@@phelpsgarage4202 ok thanks! I have Accusump ready in my garage, but still not sure if install it or not. Little but worried about oil blow in to the engine space 👀
Hey Rob, some channel tested with a 1qt overfill pretty much eliminated the oil pressure drop, just need to drain it back after trackday, any particular reason makes you still go with the accumulator setup ?
@@phelpsgarage4202 thanks! gd to know that, wish you all the best with the new setup, love your contents! wonder if you're interested on getting some more power on your next step, i felt like this car with 300-350 hps is the sweet spot, im considering it myself, but not sure about the reliability, some say ok some say not ok, so hard to tell...
