My Jspec has a big puncture at the bottom so I need to get a new one.

I was hoping my NA oil Pan will work. Any info on this?

There's no oil returns in it so I figure they are swappable.

 

Digi7ech I just went and looked at mine and they look a little differnt. my n/a is s4 and tII is s5, there was an additional plug on the n/a and the tII has a flange in the pan that the n/a dosent you are going from s4 n/a to s5 tII as well. I thought i saw a pan for 35 bucks on nopistons good luck. Corbit

 

ive got an S4 TII oil pan..no dents that i know of...pm me if you want it

 

there both pretty much the same. I looked

 

doesnt the tII has a oil return tap on the pan or is that just aftermarket mods

 

Hmm can anyone elaborate on the extra plug/sensor?and Flange?

The S5 TII pan I have has one plug on the side and a little metal plate(flat thing) in the corner near a oil return I think.

If someone had pics that would be awesome.

 

All 2nd gen oil pans are more or less the same. The only difference is some of the later cars (like 90-91) didn't come with the subzero injection system. This is the setup that injects antifreeze into the motor if the temperature is below 0. Mazda discovered it was just a bad idea, issued a TSB to unplug the damn thing, and ditched the system all together on the later 2nd gens.

Anyhow, all oil pans are the same, S4 and S5, TII and NA. There are 2 sensors - the oil level, and the temp sender for the subzero system. The oil level is a float, the subzero is just a contact temp sensor.

Don't worry about the subzero system - just leave it unplugged. I usually break the wire off the sensor and leave it to plug the hole.

BTW, on that Jspec with the dented oil pan - I would also make sure the oil pickup didn't get damaged. If it is, that's a way simple procedure with the oil pan off - just 2 bolts. Again, that part is universal for all 2nd gens.

the parts fiche they are the same part number for the n/a and the turbo. The cali is different probally because of the lack of sub zero assist. n326-10-400e. Just to confirm.

 

It's not dented. It's punctured. Like someone hit it with a pick or screw driver.

I've pulled the engine to short block so I know everything is in ok condition.

I didn't see an oil float. Are they in the same spot or in diff locations? I'll check it out once I get home.

Anyways I'm in Arizona and it never gets below 30 in the winter. My 88 GTU doesn't have the cold start assist either and the manifold came blocked off from the factory while my 88 SE has it.
