I'm having issues with my install of my turbo kit on a d16y8. The problem being that the down pipe is coming in contact with my oil pan. Did I get the wrong pipe or has anyone experienced this before on a Ej8. WTF. Please no flaming just trying to finish this install. This is the only problem I am having. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Where did you get the DP? every set up is different. If it were me, I would heat it up and bend it or cut and weld.

 

Rev Hard 2.5" Down pipe . Thats what I was thinking of. If I was to upgrade the oil pan to maybe a moroso pan would I be able to run it without fabrication or would i still run into the same problem. At least then I wouldn't have to drill out my own oil return line. Opinions on that. Thanks for that option it was actually going to be my go to resort if I cant figure out anything else.

 

Going to bed bump. Need some help asap. I know fab. but any other options. Thanks again.

 

I am not too familiar with the Moroso pans, but it seems like a long way to go and some $$ to get the DP to clear the oil pan. How much space do you need? I guess you could always try putting a little dent with a hammer in the pan, just make sure the pick up still has clearance down there. I don't know what else to tell ya. Good luck

 

A small dent in the pipe may be easier too.
