Convert 2.0 Oil pump system to 1.8 Oil pump

[Jayz691]

I was hoping to not have to buy a cooler. This giac tune is stage 3 but it's stills just a daily driver.

1. Do you think the stock oil switch port would be big enough to use for the accusump?

I went with the electric valve option.
2. Do you know of a way to wire this to something that only happens before startup? I.e. fuel pump priming or maybe the check engine like hahaha.

3. I installed that glow shift gauge but I used this banjo bolt adapter on the turbo feed line for the gauge sensor. I'm reading 12psi warmed up. Do you think it could be due to the location not being closer to the oil filter? Should I Tee into where the stock oil switch is?

Assuming its 12psi at idle.? What do ya have it 2k/3k rpms? Is it hitting 60psi by 3k? If so, and its only low at idle, could be bad piston cooling jets. If 2 or 3 check valves are shot(stuck open), it'll cause your idle pressure to drop.
EDIT- didn't realise you did the 1.8t conv, when I commented. So many not be your issue..

No I never converted to 1.8. seems like way too much money. I'll just buy a new engine if this one goes. I would like to pre-oil before starting and so I got the accusump valve and about to buy a 2qt accusump piston.

Piston squirters need more pressure then accusump can output to spray the pistons. Don’t waste your money unless you’re going to a fully external cooler/oil filter change out to one that will allow the oil to flow into correct veins inside the motor.

To pre oil buy one of the fuse plug ins that allows you to install a switch and fuse after the factory fuse. Kill the ignition fuse, turn the key and viola pressurized pre oiling for under $20.00

How much pressure does the accusump put out? Don't think he's worried about having enough to open the cooling jets(1.6-1.9bar), just to get oil flowing. But could be wrong.

It’s how the oil gets to the squirters through the galleries and how Audi balance shaft makes the pressure engine likes. The accusump “should” be set up to be just below operating pressure at idle 19 psi maybe it’s not there to oil the engine it’s only there to add a bit when needed (heavy turns, hard launches). It will not give you 5 min extra drive time, more like 30 seconds to a minute of oiling while the oil pump continues to push fragments of destroyed bearing through the engine.

I’ve got a dry sump for the 2.5 swap. Gives me option to lower motor in engine bay, fabricated low profile oil pan and guaranteed oiling all the time. Few things audi missed with the balance shaft disaster in the 2.0

This.

An accusump pre-oiler will do the job, and pressure can be set to 40+ psi, but it’s not really needed. They’re really meant for what Canadian highlights (starvation for whatever reason). Dry sump is the way to go though. Cough cough.

Ah, gotcha. So more for consistency in say, a track car.?
