The guy who built my Escort shell helps run this car :

Its running a Sadev 6 speed and as you can see there is no let off when shifting either way, they use a load cell on the gear lever that triggers the ecu to cut the engine for a second to prevent damage to the gears.

Not the same car but this shows the shifter and load cell hidden in the gear lever.

is that a accusump in the back of the picture there?

[Jonnybravo]

Yes it is Pete, they had issues with oil surge in the corners so needed to find a way to sort it without going dry sump.

Did it work and what car mate?

[Jonnybravo]

Yes it works fine mate, its a 700hp 2l 16v engine, not mentioning any names My mate also runs one on the Camaro as the oil pressure would drop off when he pulls the chute !

Yeah was reading about these last week but doubt i'd drive mine hard enough to warrent needing one.

One place that it would come into good use is on combe's first chicane, seen a few s2's/20v's loose half the oil pressure on that section.

At less than a 1/4 the cost of fitting a dry setup its a no brainer tbh.

Miles cheaper than a rebuilt engine ! lol

[Acidburn]

lol i'll have a think, i've got a baffled sump already and have not heard of anyone having major issue's before plus people will drive the car harder than I ever will
