Oil Return Problem [Pics] Quick help please
 

O0

Just a quick question
http://www.dkgoodrich.com/Pictures/oilreturn.jpg
When I removed the rubber oil return line a small stream of oil came out of the nipple.

Is this normal or did I place the fitting a tad too low? the nipple is about 1 1/4" est from the top lip of the pan.

Can I use this pan or should I scrap it use this one?

I've already bought the pan and it should have it in a bout a week but I'd really love to drive this car around the block a couple times. This is the only thing stopping me from starting this boosted engine for the first time.

looks low to me. if thats a crx I will sell you a new pan for 40 shiped or 50 taped and shiped

Re: Oil Return Problem [Pics] Quick help please
 

It's not ridiculously low but it's possible... sure you didn't overfill your oil?

Props on getting a pic while it was coming out :)

I hope that's painted JB weld, God's gift to oil returns. And everything else in life.

Look around the oil pan gasket ;)

Re: Oil Return Problem [Pics] Quick help please
 

In the picture the oil is actually comming out the nipple it self, If I re attach the rubber return line no leaks, just when I pull it back off oil is in the return.

No oil will come out of the nipple w/return pulled when the dip stick is half in between the two dots on the stick.

Sorry man, not a crx, its a b18a1 engine.

I used two big washers, locknut, nipple, backing nut and JB Quik in between everything; Its pretty sturty :8

I went ahead and ordered the moroso pan with a bung welded in. $120 didnt seem two steep.

Do you all think I could start it a drive it around the block or so a half quart low? It'd be on the basemap, I just want to get it to the welding shop for a dump tube, intercooler mounts, 02 bung, ect. Maybe romp it once or twice.

Thanks for your .02

1/2 a quart below the max line is fine. I usually keep it at that level to consume less oil

Re: Oil Return Problem [Pics] Quick help please
 

ud be ok

Re: Oil Return Problem [Pics] Quick help please
 

with the engine running the oil level will be lower in the pan so it shouldnt be a problem

Re: Oil Return Problem [Pics] Quick help please
 

Cool thanks a bunch

Re: Oil Return Problem [Pics] Quick help please
 

Your return really doesn't look that low.

Just put the line on it and call it good.

Re: Oil Return Problem [Pics] Quick help please
 

what will happen if the oil backs up? coaking and the turbo smokes?

Re: Oil Return Problem [Pics] Quick help please
 

pretty much

Re: Oil Return Problem [Pics] Quick help please
 

I agree, you could probly leave it the way it is and not have any problem...

Re: Oil Return Problem [Pics] Quick help please
 

Thanks a bunch for your responses. Tuesday my tuner is bringing my chrom chipped & basemapped ecu so I will be able to start it & get it to the welder. Eventually for peace of mind and I've already paid for it; I'll install the moroso when it comes in. Depending on any more problems or leaks who knows how long I'll leave it. Do I just keep an eye out for the turbo smoking?

Re: Oil Return Problem [Pics] Quick help please
 

where did you find a moroso ol pan for $120?

Funny thing is, once I hit a lil over 3 quarts It started draining from the nipple just like my stock tapped pan.

The only reason I kept the moroso was the oil splash baffle inside the pan.

I also got a trasparent white braded oil return line.

My ecu was also held back a day so I removed the turbo manifold and downpipe to take to the welder to get braced and shortened.

Should be able to start it tommarrow. Thanks for you alls help.

I now have a perfectly good b18a1 oem tapped oil pan that im not using O0
I actually like the nipple placement on my oem one better than the moroso

Re: Oil Return Problem [Pics] Quick help please
 

that looks like a stock pan with a moroso sticker to me

Re: Oil Return Problem [Pics] Quick help please
 

it is basically a stock tapped oil pan, it uses the stock pickup tube, so there is NO advantage to this thing besides being tapped already and having a temp bung.


OP: is the car sitting level when the oil is pouring out of the plug??? is you motor level, its not a hack swap is it??

Re: Oil Return Problem [Pics] Quick help please
 

well, if thats the case i can tap my own pan for a lot less.

Re: Oil Return Problem [Pics] Quick help please
 

Yea it has a slow stream that poars out at like 3.5qt, I can see some oil sitting in the clear oil return. My engine sits level, its a mix of HA sport and 94+ integra engine mounts.

I got it running and timed today, drove it for a couple hrs on the base map. I was so shocked how fast it is. 1st 2nd and 3rd are useless. You can clack it from a 20-30 mph roll and smoke em. I had a 7mgte supra single turbo and I'm pretty sure it wasnt as fast as this thing.

Thanks for all you help.
