Snail Tuning

ok so i bought a d16y8 off a shop that had a bad bearing, i pulled the oil pan and taped it for my oil return and brazed in my fitting. today when i go to swap it with the y8 in my car their nothing alike. and theirs no hole for the dipstic. so their oil pan is not from a y8 and prolly a d15 dx engine.

will this pan still work? can i just drill the hole for the dipstic and be ok?

help me out guys.

y8 uses an aluminum pan that won't fit any other d engine. You need to either tap your pan or find another aluminum pan.

I got an extra off ebay used for $50 when I was doing my turbo kit.

I got a D16Z6 oil pan to fit on my boosted D16Y8. Had to drill out two holes a bit more but it fit.

Kinda leaking though.

Y7 pan also fits on the y8 and vice versa. I kow this cause I have a y8 AL. pan on my y7. Other than that the older pans won't work cause the the oil pump bolts are different I believe

what did u drill out? also did u drill the whole in the baffle for the dip stick? and at full does it use the same amount of oil as the stock y8 pan?

use the steel y7 versus the y8 aluminum, easier to weld
