Drilling oil pan.
 

I have a d16a6 crx, and an extra oil pan I plan to drill for the oil return line.

I would like to mock up the turbo install to get the location of the hole, then drill the extra pan to help lessen downtime.

My question:
Since I am not actually dropping the pan until after I install the drilled pan, I can't see whats behind the potential hole. Is there any place 'off-limits' where I shouldn't drill? Is there any rotating bottom end parts that I could interfere with?

Thanks

you will mock the setup up, mark the oil pan where you want the hole.. drop the pan and look where it goes, sometimes if its to low, it will hit this little baffle inside the pan, you want to stay above it.

Your lucky day. ;D

I happen to be pulling my oil pan. Here is the "front side" where your oil fitting will go..

Hope this helps you out.. Need more pics of the pan, just drop a note on this thread.

i dont know where i saw it. i believe it was honda tech. there is someone who has pics of there whole install and they show where to tap into on the greddy kit for the oil return line.

Go to www.Turbocivic.net click on New installation main page, then click on Assembly instructions and scroll down to oil pan return fitting, he has some good picture of how he did it as well as step by step directions on his install, including lots of pictures of each step.
Hope this helps
