I installed a 3 quart Accusump in my 928S track car to prevent the 2/6 bearing issues that haunt the 928 engines and so far no problems.

there are plenty of 996s that are on R compounds and even hoosiers that run the track without problems...

Someone asked why you wouldn't want to use an accusump?

Ahem, I was using an accusump in my 944 when i spun my number 2 rod bearing.

you'll have to be creative with the oil line as you can't use the accusump oil filter adapter.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So, the local tuner put the fear into me regaring oil starvation and was wondering if this could be an option.

I've been racing Corvettes with accusumps for years, a very common item in a track car. Inexpensive insurance, they can be set up to preoil the engine before starting, saving much wear. Work quite well in my estimation. I've even used them in my street cars. I don't know of any reason why one couldn't use them in a P car.
the oil starvation "problem" is widely exaggerated/overblown. there are plenty of 996s that are on R compounds and even hoosiers that run the track without problems... mine included. i've spoken to 996 owners pulling 1.5Gs on MPSCs (data logger info) WITHOUT any problems.
that being said, adding an accusump doesn't hurt. you'll have to be creative with the oil line as you can't use the accusump oil filter adapter.
I installed a 3 quart Accusump in my 928S track car to prevent the 2/6 bearing issues that haunt the 928 engines and so far no problems. As for plumbing one in Canton, the manufacturer of Accusump systems, has a billet oil filter that has a port on it's top for the feed line from the Accusump. No sandwich plate needed and only one oil line used to feed the engine under low oil pressures and the Accusump under normal engine oil pressures. Check them out on line or give them a call. They probably have a Accusump and filter set up for the 996s already.

if you are looking to use this with an Elise, I would definitely agree. Track friends with Elises have installed them, but it's more of an issue with the Lotus.
I have not had any issues with my 996 and do not plan on installing one in that car.

Ahem, I was using an accusump in my 944 when i spun my number 2 rod bearing. Obviously, it did nothing to help me. There is a split of opinion upon whether accusumps are a good idea or not. In some situations it would help. In other situations, it probably would not help, and, many believe, can actually exacerbate the situation, at least with respect to '44s.
Do you plan to race on slicks? If not, then you do not need an accusump. At most, you might look into the Porsche baffle kit, or the Brey Krause kit, both of which are PCA race legal (IIRC). If you are racing, and the baffle kit is not enough to satisfy you, then you might consider just adding a dry sump IF it is legal for the class you will be running. I mean, why not just go for the real deal?
Someone asked why you wouldn't want to use an accusump? It adds weight, mechanical complexity, and, at least for 944s and, most likely 996s, do not address the problems you are most likely to experience.
