Thats the only thing im afraid of when installing my turbo kit. Anyways I just want to know if anyone has ever had it done and how much did it cost you and also where did you get it done if you where in cali.
Thanks

 

in los angeles there are a number of shops you can bring your oil pan and have a nipple WELDED on.

 

I live in LA is there any you know of or anybody out there.

 

earl makes a bulkhead connector just get that. you drill a hole and place it in the hole and put the nut on the back side. so easy.

 

do you have a website for Earls ?

 

any muffler shop can do it

 

i dont, but i know someone does have a link.

 

bul head connector works just fine, no leaks it installed properly, i havent used one but know people who have and they have zero problems with them.

i got a brass fitting for my pan. any ideas on how to keep it leak free? i was thinking that i can just get a nut on the other side inside of the pan and just put some silicone gasket sealant on the threads. is this a bad idea?

 

well my only concern would be that if some of that silicone were to break loose and go into the pan and then get sucked up the sump, it may clog it, but if you use a liberal amount, im sure it would be fine

what are some good ways to get the brass fitting on to the pan for a leak-free job?

 

I dont see why any muffler shop wouldnt do it. Its not like they're messing with the cat or something.

 

or you can buy a moroso oil pan.

 

JB weld

 

Hell yeah JB weld is the ****!

 

Or you could weld the piece in, instead of using silicone. Almost any body shop will have a welder that you could pay them to do it for you.

not sure but, can you weld brass to a steel oil pan?

 

You dont weld brass to steel, you can braze it....it's basically like soldering...it is soldering actually.

 

where can i get it brazed?

 

i am so brazed
