I like it, but if the flange is thicker there is NO way it won't raise the motor...

That flange is not 3/4" thick, looks more like .125-.200".

 

so whats the word on this? does it still fit fine? does it raise the motor a lot? any new info?

well why dont you machine off some of the top of the motor mounts? there thick enough where you could take off atleast .250" and still be as strong, or fab up some new mounts, there not that hard to make

That is the wrong website, it is www.a-spectuning.com , the oil pans have been reworked and are now finned for cooling and larger capacity as well. I have 10 being made up one is for j-specracer7, as he has been waiting the longest as well as a few local customers. Flange is 9mm.

 

whoo hoo!

9mm may not be too bad for me....that just means when I pull my motor to do this, I have to bring my motor mounts to a machine shop and have them remove 9mm worth of aluminum

 

wow, so thats is eh? just remove 9mm from my motor mount brackets, or should i remove 9mm from the actual motor mounts......

i've got solid aluminum motor mounts too.

 

lol we all have dragon spec motor mounts. the oil pan seems pretty cool. and i am starting to get really upset at my never ending oil leak.

 

You would probably take off only 8.5mm since the stock oil pan is probably about .5mm thick anyways. But yes, off the motor mounts themselves.

 

Forget about the oil leaks...and say hello to a stronger engine (9mm oil pan is guaranteed to keep the motor from flexing on itself)

 

whoo hoo!..... ****, now i need a couple hundred more dollars......

heh heh heh....

 

damn money pit.....lol harrison maybe we can get a good deal if we ship em togther down to ft myers of course!

 

My car had no oil leaks when using the stock twins and making around 300rwhp. Throw my single turbo on there, and the thing leaks oil from everywhere. After talking to Ralph Friend and Rob Golden about this pan, its going in the budget for the rebuild. CJ

 

jayspecracer7 your pan is here, I will have pics up moment.

Ok here are pics of the redesigned pan.





This is one of the old one sitting next to the newer increased capacity one

 

and what if you didnt take anything off the motor mounts?

 

..

 

My guess is it will sit about 9-10mm higher.

Sean,

Will you guys be providing new 10mm bolts/17mm bolts for the oil pan? If not, I better go buy some now.

 

We can provide them or you can, I'm not sure how we are going to do it yet, I may offer both options.

 

Lets say you wanna make some custom rubber motor mounts could you just make the rubber shorter?

 

yep

 

Jspec, the pan is deep enough it may require you to actually remove the motor or drop the subframe significantly, just a heads up.

 

So is it confirmed that you have to drop the subframe significantly, if not all together, just to install this aluminum oil pan ?

Thanks,
