I'm currently pulling my JDM B16A out of a shell and putting it into a hatch shell I have. When I bought the hatch, it had a blown B18C5 in it (Type R). The oil pan on my B16 is pretty tore up (my brother borrowed my car and put it in a ditch drunk, argh!), so I'm wondering if the Type R pan will work?


And if not, which oil pans will work on a B16?

 

you can use any b series (vtec and non) oil pan on a b16, but you can only use an itr/gsr pan for b18c's. your best bet though is to just get another b16 pan as an itr pan is slightly deeper.

 

Thanks. I knew the pickup was different on one of them, but I wasn't really sure.


I think I'm just gonna use the Type R pan, and put the right amount (4.2 quarts ) in.

 

if you are using the type r one youll need to change the pickup as well

 

b16 and ls are the same
b18 vtec are different

 

the b18 oil pan are different from the b16 and i recommend replacing it with a b16 oil pan

 

be specific - b18 vtec are different
b18 LS is the same

 

take the girddle and oil pickup and windage tray thing and oil pan from the itr and put on the b16...or just find a ls or b16 oil pan...
