Got my oil pan welded up last week (thanks dad ) Just figured I post some pictures since I was looking for a bunch before I did mine.





Craig - Who hopes to start putting it together tomorrow

 

nice man, cool pops

 

Nice looks a lot like the Mugen one, except with no baffles below the baffle (if that makes any sense).

2 Questions

How did you bend the metal ?

2. What did you use to paint it ? like wha kinda paint ? cause im going to be doing this soon.

but it looks very good

 

looks great

 

thats the sheeit

 

not quite as nice as the mugen but dam good and I bet alot cheaper.

 

About time someone copied the mugen... AND included the turn down. Now you just need to dremel slots and include the verticals.

Splitime... who payed for a Mugen... when he couldn't get Dr.Cortez to respond to emails... and glad he didn't... with the "backups" in his "pan" projects.....

 

No doubt....

I copied the exact shape but didn't replicate the turn downs nor the verticals..... but then I felt a bit better after visiting Type-One and holding the Spoon baffled pan in hand.... mine should work just as...uh....hopefully as gooT.....

splitime: I think you should edit your sig.... it should read -

"Street racing is like tongue kissing your sister, it just doesn't make any sense....."

That only came to mind cuz I saw my friend kiss his sister goodbye (on the cheek) at the airport recently....

 

That's hot **** . I have been looking at the Mugen pan but this may be an option if I can find someone around here that would do a good job.

Is that some ITB goodness I spy in the background?

 

Looks good Craig, let me know if you need a hand getting that car back together. I'll come down and give ya a hand.

 

two problems I see:


1. Bud Light is not exposed in all of its glory in the first shot.

2. Bud Light = missing from pictures.

dont give me the excuse that 'you drank it'. it is a known fact that these things come in 12-24-30 packs.

 

Thanks for the comments guys. I didn't see any detail pictures on the mugen unit so I didn't even think of any vertical baffles. As for slots to for letting the oil drain back in, I really don't think its needed, there is plenty of room for oil to return where the pick up goes.

I used engine paint. It needs to not only withstand heat, but also can't be desovled by oil and gas. The back of the rattle can said it was good for oil pans.

You mean bending the baffles downwards around the oil pickup? What's it good for?

I just bought the Heeltoe Auto "weld in" oil pan baffles (no turn down). Hope they work out allright.....

I'll try to find the picture for you... but the turn down forces oil towards the pickup... it isn't just the plate that trys to keep a level in the pan. I prefer the mugen style because of the turn down and because of the verticals that it has.

 

^^^^^Is that the Mugen pan?^^^^^^

 

looks nice, cool *** pops

Yes. Pictures stolen from a post of .RJ's

 

after searching about this baffles vs new oilpan dilema. i found 92TypeR`s post https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=937290 wery usefull. it seems that he has good expirience with just the fastline baffles simmilar to the heeltoe pice without the rolled down edges.

so i guess that is just as good as the oem style morso pan? http://www.kingmotorsports.com...tegra
but do i really need the bigger size morso oil pan?

I ended up getting my pan done by HeelToe.. who did it very similarly and well..

looks good, craig!

 

The inner ricer in you is coming out.

Paint a part that will only be seen in pics.

 

seeking knowledge


what does baffling an oil pan accomplish?

 

Oil likes to slosh around when you're cornering. This keeps your engine from starving.

 

Craig's dad =


Stock pan still ownz though.

Yeah, but i figured since the car isn't running and I had to remove the pan anyways to install the bung for the oil temp sensor, mine as well do the baffles too.

 

looks kool, man your ka is going to be a sweet ride after you get the head back on
