Oil Pan mod
I'm looking for input from anyone who's changed oil pans (road racing application) on 99-00 Civic Si's. I initially found Spoon Sports Buffle (Baffled) oil pan as my only choice. I've now discovered oil pans by Moroso and Z10 on the modacar web site. Both the Moroso and Z10 pans have oil temp and turbo return line connections the Spoon lacks. As I don't want to back myself into a corner, these extras may come in handy down the road. Some input from experienced road racers would be extremely valuable on this matter. The first topic being: what's the best oil pan for road racing? The second topic being: are these extra connections on the Moroso and Z10 worth considering? Thanks for any input available.

Re: Oil Pan mod (speedstars03)
I currently have a Spoon pan on my B18C1 CRX. I have experience with the Moroso oil pan on my old D-series setup. The Moroso is not a true road race pan due to the baffling and windage tray design. I never had a problem with it though. If I had to go back on my Decision on my choice of pans on my B-series I probably would go with the Z10 pan. I am all motor so I do not need an oil return line but it I would of liked a bung for oil temp. As it goes now I use a VDO oil drain plug with sender incorporated into it.

Did anybody use these baffle plates on there pan yet? It looks like the plates are straight and not angled.... how will the oil go back to the bottom if its straight like that? Is it really a good mod to baffle the oil pan if your car is only street driven and sometimes track (road racing)? Thanks!

the fixed baffles do their job of keeping the oil at the pickup fairly well , but its the drainback that is lacking , with the door design drainback is instant and we have engineered the doors to direct oil back to the pickup...

my friend has a 10-94 baffled pan, and 3 of the 4 welds broke, and one of the baffles completely fell off, and it may have been blocking the oil pickup. Someone told me that the metal on the stock oil pan is hard to weld to, but I think that is BS. What's your take on that?

I call BS also...its no harder than any other sheet metal to weld , 18-20 gauge is thin so you need a Tig to really control the heat and put it where you want it.
