product description
GT – POWER OILSUMP COMPRESSOR ( GTP-OSC )
are oil reservoirs that connect to the engine's oiling system and is designed to provide the engine
with oil pressure before the starter is even engaged. They are designed collect presurized oil from
your engine and store it so it may be discharge when oil pressure is low.
Our GTP Oil-Compressor is a cylinder shaped aluminum storage container that acts as a reservoir
of pressurized oil, to be released when there is a drop in the oil pressure.
The GTP-OSC is connected to the pressure side of an engine's oiling system and is charged by
the engines own oil pump.
Our GTP Oil-Compressor deliver oil before starting to eliminate dry start scuffing (pre-oiling) and
discharge oil during low oil pressure surges to protect against engine damage during demanding
racing conditions. The GTP Oil-Compressor deliver oil to turbos after shut down to lubricate and
cool hot turbo components and prevent coke build up and turbo damage.
Its simple, efficient design revolves around a hydraulic piston separating an air pre-charge side and
the oil reservoir side. On the oil side of the GTP-OSC it has an outlet that goes into the engine's
oiling system, controlled by a valve. On the air side it's equipped with a pressure gauge and a
Schrader air pre-load valve.
On initial start-up when the valve on the oil side is opened the pressurized oil is released into
the engine and therefore pre-lubricating the engine prior to start-up.
The GTP-OSC holds whatever oil pressure the engine has at the time that it is shut off.
After the engine is started and the oil pump has taken over, oil is pumped back into
the GTP-OSC. This moves the piston back and pressurizes the GTP-OSC until it equalizes with
engine's oil pressure. While driving, if the engine's oil pressure is interrupted for any reason,
the GTP-OSC releases its oil reserve again, keeping the engine lubricated until the engine's
oil pressure comes back to normal.
This release of oil could last from 15 to 60 seconds, depending on the size and speed of the engine.
Without it your engine is history. Your engine is a complex arrangement of metal parts moving
constantly. Without oil, the friction caused from metal on metal g generates enough heat to melt
those moving parts and causes them to quickly fuse together causing a 'seized' engine.
Without oil pressure, your engine just wouldn't survive more than a mile, a lap, a mud hole
or a stoplight.
It flows everywhere - lubricating, cooling and removing miscellaneous dirt and debris.
In racing or hard driving conditions, the GTP Oil-Compressor will automatically fill and discharge
when needed as you corner, accelerate and brake.
