Anyone used OBX Oil Pans?
Well, while looking for a Moroso oil pan for my EG project I ran accross this:
Heh, 155 bucks.... hell of a lot better than the 350+ I was looking at. Anyone know if these suck or what? I'd hate to buy it and have it **** oil out of the welds. OBX is well known for knocking **** off I spose. You can barely see it on the backside, but it has oil return bung for turbo and another bung for temp sender.... which is why I'm REALLY interested in it.

That is interesting, can anyone vouch for this oil pan. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who would like to say something bad about it.
I would definitely be in the market for something like this though, hopefully we can get some more input here...bump.

Well, for 155 i MIGHT be willing to see how it is. Worse case scenario I feel like a dumb *** and use my stock pan anyway and get a Moroso. Still would like to see a vouch for this... its a new product and not even on their webpage yet.

My sentiments exactly. Especially something as importiant as an oil pan. I would like to know how this works out though!

Re: Anyone used OBX Oil Pans? (slowhatch4now)
I've ran strut bars, header, cat back exhaust and shifters from OBX, never a problem, and felt the improvements from all.
As opposed to seeing Neuspeed shifters snap in half and a Tanabe B pipe snap in half.
OBX is damn near the expensive product quality, w/o the name brand weld on it, to make it cheaper. I'm not one to buy cheap parts, but when I started in this world of Hondas, I didn't know much about quality or brands, so I bought what was affordable at the time. My CRX was from OBX, H&R, and Tokico. I'd take my CRX back over my EH any day.

I sell OBX products & have had good service out of most of their stuff. I wouldn't advise using their headers though.

Re: Anyone used OBX Oil Pans? (HYREV2NR)
Thanks for taking one for the team gimpy, post pics, and reactions please.
I think OBX's saving grace is that they don't try to engineer their own products. Hopefully they make decent copies.
Their turbo manifolds are know to have the welds overheat and crack, the oil pan sees much lower temperatures. The one that I held in my hand the wastegate-merge was a ******* HACK JOB, but it could've been cleaned up.
Again, let us know.
I want to know what's up with their tial knockoff WGs, heheh

Re: Anyone used OBX Oil Pans? (Hella_JDM)
Heres the update: it hasnt arrived yet. Hopefully today or saturday???
Honestly guys, as long as the welds are sound you are blowing this way out of perportion. On my 95 Mustang I added side sloshers to my stock pan and I'm a totally bunk welder.... still works fine.
As far as the OBX turbo manifolds, it has been brought to my attention that alot of those are indeed *NOT* OBX turbo manifolds... they're a knock off if you can believe that ****! I know a coupel people who DO run their manifolds with good success and while you wouldnt see ME with one (I think the wastegate design is shitty) for the money even if it only lasted a year ...what the hell.

I believe that's do to a lack of manifold bracing. And they also have an awesome warranty. All from what I recall (could be wrong) from reading the FI forum a while back.
