well i have a turbo gsr and the oil pan was tapped previously before i got the car. and when the guy tapped it i guess he didnt look or plan anything. so the down pipe is hitting the oil return line. so now im stuck, and i dont want to have to buy a new oil pan, but i have the feeling i might have to. is there anything i can do? ill post pics in a litte bit so you can see what im talking about. thanks guys

 

pics first.

 

so if the dp is up against the line get a braided line or try to re route the line out of the way..

 

well the downpipe is also hitting the bottom of the block. so im going to have to cut and piece it back togather. its hitting and not letting the down pipe sit flush. and where the guy tapped it at its going to be right behind the down pipe. heres a pics of me holding the downpipe to show you. its a terrible pic but i could hold the down pipe and take a pic.

 

no pic???....just plug the old hole and make a new one....or if you have to remake the DP to keep it from hitting the block then do that

 

sorry about that, my computer is not up loading it. ill have to do it tommorrow im on my laptop. yeah im going to buy a plug and plug it tommorrow. and i gotta remake the downpipe as well, so i have to cut it and weld it back togather to make it fit right. thanks guys

 

I had the same problem. I plugged the old barb with manus bond, and then drilled and installed a bulkhead, higher and out of the way.

 

yeah when i got the car it was just the shell and the motor was out. well why it was out i guess he decide to tap it. so im am going to fill it and re tap it. he tapped it in the middle of the pan, and it needs to be closer to the passangers side. but its on the drivers side. thanks

 

Here's a pic of my setup. Not sure if you can see it, but below and to the right of where the bulkhead is, you can see where they braised the old barb. It was small as hell, and millimeters away from the downpipe. No way I would have been able to fit a line on, so I cut a bulkhead short, drilled a new hole, and manus bonded it in. Along with 10an lines, and a 10an 90 degree, everything worked out.

 

yeah i see it, but my down pipe is really close to the bottom of the motor. so i gotta figure out where to tap it, i gotta re do the down pipe any way so im going to try to work it out.
