^ Now that sounds interesting and has peaked my curiosity. You should post up some pics of that. I'm sure there are a lot of people that would prefer to do something like that than add oil every time they fill up with gas.

I did a similar setup on my FC, uses the Rotary Avaition OMP adapter and a 1.5 quart tank that I purchased. Here's a link to the "how to" write-up.

This is a great idea if you have a mechanical OMP or are using the stock ECU or an aftermarket ECU capable of driving the electric OMP. Unfortunately I have neither

I could get an S4 front cover and find a mechnical OMP and rig something up but I don't know how that works with the S5 front counterweight and it doesn't solve the problem that I only have 2/4 oil injector ports (custom intake manifold).

To the OP: I would say this is the best option for your SA/FB. You can run dedicated premix in an auxiliary tank and run some nice synthetic oil in the engine.
