Default Looking to buy oil accumulator. What do I need?

I am looking to get an accumulator for my 1990 C4. What is a good brand but not too pricey? I dont need anything special like pre-oiling, just one to save my engine at the track. What are all the parts/fittings required? Where do I mount one? I plan on running an external cooler as well.

Thanks

I mounted the Accusump inside the car in my '94 Camaro tracker and if your car is track only this will be the easiest method.
You get the benefit of pre-oiling with no extra effort BTW.

Here are some links for C4/C5. Hope it helps.
I would do an search for "C4 accusump" and see what comes up.

Good luck.

Do a quick search. There was a thread by the same name last fall that had pics and a complete part list. I have it saved at work. Plus a neat idea of powering to fuel pump fuse so it wouldn't unload everytime you turned ignition on. Good luck.

Here's a good set-up for a little over $1,000 at Livermore Performance.

I just got a Moroso 3Qt accumulator and a simple oil cooler. Will he be able to tell me how and where to run it?
