This particular Accusump is 2 quarts. There are advantages and disadvantages to mounting it in the trunk. I'm quite comfortable with the location I've chosen.

Actually, since the gas tank is between the axles, the weight shift when burning gas is rather minimal 
The only thing that concerns me about that accusump install is having a large reservoir of hot oil where it's not protected by the bumpers or body of the car in a street vehicle. Most of the accusumps I've seen are either in the trunk or in the passenger compartment (in race stripped vehicles).

I think that the location you have chosen is cool. Besides if you have an ut"O" you would shut the engine down anyway.

There are a bunch of race-prepped S2K's out here that run them as well. It's necessary when pulling a lot of g's and potentially (actually proven to) running into oil starvation issues.

I only new that it was to prime the engine before start to prevent engine failure in heavily moded engines. O did I say engine

^ JP does that mean that they work well for the s2k
what oil pressure switch do you recommend?
fperra, which oil pressure switch did you choose?

There's a live thread in R&C right now about the proper oil pressure valve to use. Since I never had an accusump installed on my own S2K, I can't answer that question with any real knowledge.
