The restrictor is also there to divert flow to the turbo. It needs a pressure differential to flow correctly. The flange that Shawn will be using is already built with a restriction. The outlet is 1" while the inlet is 3/4".

Hey I just picked up this awesome oil pain for my 13B!!! If you are interested message Len Bacon on FB he is making 30 units for the first batch so get them before their are gone. Plus there is some discounts as well so PM him for information. What I like best about this is that it is not CAST!

So I have to ask...when sanding the bay you were smart enough not to sand the vin numbers completely flat right!?!?

Good progress thus far. Is there a specific reason you opted to go with the water pump ewp adaptor rather than removing the entire housing and bolting on the ewp adaptor to the engine itself?

(If I overlooked something you stated before oops my bad lol).

What did you make that out of, looks like plexiglass or something like it? I'm very curious, I need to make my own this year for the IMSA front air dam going on the FB. Nice work!

Thanks! My buddy Robert and I made it out of Alumilite. We used an undertray to start the design and just carried it out 6 inch's

I'm going to be building my own splitter from a shine undertray. Is yours a shine? Mine was off just over a 1/2" pulling from center line On the tray. I bought it second hand however so it could've been from the p.o.

Keep at it!

Man that pan is awesome lol
So for those with face book find all the details under "Len bacon"
If not I can email you pics/details on it. Not set up as a vendor on here so don't want forum police to have a problem, but I've been here since 97' so no fear of me skipping town. Gonna start working to see how much I have to pay to sell them on here

Great build thread! Proud to be a part👍
