A true dry sump system would be one project and an accumulator would be another. A dry sump would require major surgery to the pan and pump, an accumulator is just plumbed into the oil circuit. I used an Accusump on on my race car, which had a 400 HP high compression engine with high lift cams. It also prevents oil starvation on fast turns, where centrifugal forces can push the oil away from the pickup.

I can't imagine why you'd need one with a Mercedes Diesel. My 602 has 418,000 and barely uses oil. Oil pressure is good even at idle. Through the years I've replaced a couple of worn lifters, but we can argue about whether that's start up wear or not. As for fast turns, if you figure out how to go that fast in an old Diesel, let us know. If you really want to waste your time and money, tee an accumulator into the turbo feed line. Use a solenoid valve controlled by a manual switch. Done.
