Converting 13b-re to gsl-se 13b oilpan/pickup?
I initially posted this in general tech, obviously a mistake..., apologies for reposting it here.
OK, so I have a 240z with a 13b-re in it, converted to single turbo. In process of putting it all together. To mount it, I am using a 12a front engine cover, I sourced a [beat up oil pan from a crappy seller on rx7club.com] which is only good for testing purposes. With the 12a cover + gsl-se oilpan, the bolt holes all line up correctly, which is great. However, the oil pickup is obviously different
I'm not familiar with the 84/5 gsl-se motor, but can I use the pickup from a 1st gen 13b motor and directly bolt it to the RE? I can't imagine the oil pickup being different from an earlier model? Or do I need to modify my existing pickup?
also, does anyone know where I can get that stupid primary rail spacer clip? Mine seems to have grown legs and disappear... is the part # same as a 13b series 5 motor?
