i was jsut wondering if you can put a b18 oil pan on a b16 block. my friend busted his oil pan and its so much harder to get a hold of a b16 oil pan...let me know if this will work out...thanx

 

nope

 

why not?

I was under the impression that you could put a 1.8 pan on a b16, but not the other way around.

 

well i saw the "moroso" cattalog and for the Oil Pans they got it seprate for the B16 and B18 thats why i gave that answer

 

theyre all interchangable, u need the matching pickup however

 

I believe that a b16 pan is too shallow for a 1.8's oil pickup.

 

what do you mean by that??? please explain...pics if you can find some please...thanx

 

see the Ls and the GSR have the same oil pan but diff Pickups

 

well my friend has a b18a1...so what will i have to use to fix it??? ive heard that b18c's would work but i dont even know where to get another b16 one

 

b18b1 has a biger displacement then a b18c1

means its bigger then a GSR motor

im sorry i meant to say b16a1....my bad

 

so basically with a b16a1...what are my choices since this motor is orinally from japan???

 

Maybe thats why they had diff Oil pan for them

but you have to have a B16 pickup

 

Any b16 motor that was made in the US. (B16A2, B16A3)

I don't want to recommend anything other than those, only for the fact that I'm not *completely* sure that a GSR or LS oil pan will work correctly.

I'm sure they would, but I don't want to be responsible when you're friends motor freezes

 

where exactly can i find one...besides the dealer because we dont feel like gettin a$$ raped by their prices. i tried to call all the autoparts places around here but they dont carry them and cant even order them. my only other option is the junk yard but that would be kinda hard to find a 99+ civic si motor around. let me know where else i might be able to find one.

 

Try these..

any one in the dallas/ft.worth area know where i can get a b16 or b18c oil pan??? we are needing to get my friends car back and running ASAP because its his only means of transportation and he needs it for school and work. if anyone knows where i can find a fairly decent price or have one just laying around please let me know.

you can email me at GQpid@aol.com

I used a B18C oil pan on my B16 for about 6 months. Never had a problem, never replaced the pickup. Just keep the oil level in check and you won't have any problems. I beat the **** out of the car in the canyons so oil starvation under cornering isn't a problem either.

 

ding ding ding ding!!! give the man a cigar!!! b18 pan will not fit a b16 block einstein....

 

I have a b16 one laying around i think, but i know the b18a pan is a direct fit onto the b16.

 

the b18 oil pan will work on the b16...just use the b18 oil pickup that corresponds with the oil pan....I use it on my car with no problem whatsoever. It's basically the same oil pan, it's just the ls oil pan is a little bit more shallow than the b16 so you have to use the b18 oil pick up.

 

damn people, i DID say, use the coresponding pickup and youd be ok right, why is this thing still going.

 

You don't need the pickup, just keep the oil level in check.
