I see where alot of people jb weld their return line into the pan. well I have an aluminum oil pan(2000 h22a4) and so I was unsure if I could do this as well with just jb weld...secondly if I have to weld it, I gotta find someone that can weld alum right??? Its not like steel or anything that is easier to weld.

Also I got a Greddy Type R BOV....how does that sound compared to the type S???

it depends. first of all what kind of fitting will be welded to the oil pan. alluminum can be welded but if you have dissimilar metals there is a special process that needs to be done before welding wich can be expensive and hard to find. i had mine tig welded

 

But I didn't think you could tig weld alum...maybe I got my welders mixed up. The fitting is gonna be stainless steel.

 

mine is tig welded as well, please dont jb weld your return line.... i know some people have gotten away with it but personally i wouldnt trust it.

 

Well I've called 2 welders...both say i can't weld this SS fitting into my alum oil pan...I need an alum fitting!!! arrr...i dunno where to find this ****!!! arrrrrrr

 

tig weld-welding aluminum

I just had someone welded my charge pipe(alum)
it took like 1 hours to get it welded, but cant beat the hooded-up
killa price and good quality

 

You should use a alu. fitting and have it heli-arc welded into place

 

The problem is finding an alum fitting by saturday!!!

 

Dril a hole on the pan and use a washer on the indside with a gasket, simple eazy and leak free
