Ok so i went and bought an OBX pan because my present pan has a big dent in it, dont ask me why i just didnt buy a morosso pan instead for an extra few dollars even i dont know.
Anyway i just need you to check a few things out on it for me. on the front face in the top right corner is that the oil return source for the turbo??

also that plate that sits on the top of the pan with the two screws on it, does that need to be conected or do i take that off when i put the oil pan on, whats it for?
and finally any1 see anything wrong with it apart from its OBX, im hesitant because i dont wanna risk my built block, and turbo because of an oil pan.
Your help would be appreciated.

The front is for the turbo oil return correct.

Im sorry I cant just put a finger to exactly what is wrong with it.

 

looks like it was setup for an obx "dry sump" setup or something, because these no place for a pickup... unless obx screwed up and didnt finish completing the pan

 

isn't the sump on the wrong side? It looks opposite to the moroso pan?

 

no

 

Definitely don't use that lower bung for the oil return because it will be below the surface level of your oil, it's going to create problems with oil backing up and also probably will cavitate your oil pump. Use the higher fitting for the oil return. You definitely should have chosen the Moroso pan, it's a much better thought-out piece.

edit: after looking at all the pictures, this definitely looks like an attempt at a dry-sump oil pan.

 

So ok should i use this on my B18c, would i have any problems etc..

 

it wont work....

theres no place for the sump to fit in.... that cover panel (if it werent for a dry sump, which it looks like it is) would be cut out for a pickup

 

now what do i do with this. Ill pay some1 to put it on their built block , is this a dry sump then?

 

def a dry sump pan

Look it up on Summit, it'll cost you big dollars to go dry sump. I wouldn't go through all that unless it's a race only car.

sod it, ill just get a moroso im glad i cleared this up before i tried to get it on my car.How much will a moroso cost me on average?

 

dry sump isnt "high dollar" maybe 2500 for a whole kit. better piece of mind IMO. i will soon be going dry sump on my motor

 

What the expletive is that lower bung for ?

dddddrrrryyyyyyyy suuuuuummmmppppppp...

In other words, it uses something of an external oil pump, thats where it hooks to.

 

Ha, those obx oil pans are not best looking ones and they fit like ***. My experience, had to drill out all of the holes to make it fit. I wish someone esle would start making these just a little cheaper than moroso, but with good crasftmanship. I bet you they would make good money.

 

The OEM Style Oil Pan from Moroso (which I just got today WOOT) ran me 160$ with shipping from Kingmotorsports. I must say, it does look nice

 

i had a obx pan i bought off of ebay for half the price of the moroso one. dude it was the same dam thing as the moroso. i mean same. cause i had a moroso one too.

 

all i gotta say i think if i try hard enough i can probably poop something better lookin than that.

your telling my that the moroso looks just like that with all the ugly unmatched welds and pieces of aluminum?

wow.

 

in all honesty.. some ppl dont care about looks FUNCTION &gt; FORM, as long as it works its ok... i might try making my own oil pan, that would be cool

 

dont get me wrong, i have created many many ugly things of my own that function good. i was only making a statement. maybe its a bad picture.

 

i really could not tell a differance between the two. o one had more of a shine than one. but the build the same as the moroso.
