b16 b18 oil pans the same?
 

I searched google and yahoo, and found nothing, so I ask you:

are the b16 and b18 oil pans the same? my b16 oil pan is pretty scraped up, and I have a b18 pan in my garage, I'm thinking when I do my turbo set up since i have to pull the pan anyways I'll swap them so I don't hit bump and finish one of the holes that's already started in my b16 pan. I know the bolt pattern is the same, but are they interchangeable without problems?

Wish I can tell you Kyle... From what I remember there was a difference between the B16 and either the LS or the GSR... I say if they look very similar and will bolt on chances are that its going to work.

Re:b16 b18 oil pans the same?
 

the information I found in my search said they have the same bolt pattern, so the gsr must be the oddball. hopefully they're close enough. now that I think about it my oil return for my bigger better turbo might need to be different, so I'll just use the b16 one and hope it doesn't explode so that I can have a fresh ls pan for the next setup.

I dont think the b16 oil pan works on the b18 because its not deep enough for the oil pick.

dont vtec engines carry more oil?

Re:b16 b18 oil pans the same?
 

i'm pretty sure they're the same. i sold a b18a oil pan to a guy to use on his b16 and told him to tell me if it didn't work, he never got back up with me, so i assume it worked :-\ i think the gsr is the only different one b/c of the girdle and i think the oil pick up is longer.

Re:b16 b18 oil pans the same?
 

using these 2 ideas I'd say that bigger displacement needs more oil, and vtec needs more oil, so LS and b16 are the same, eh?

Re:b16 b18 oil pans the same?
 

they are the same, i put a b16 one on my ls, ALL b series have the same oil pan bolt pattern.

Re:b16 b18 oil pans the same?
 

B16a and LS's are interchangable, but niether one will work on a B18c GSR/ITR because of the main girdle and pickup. But a gsr/itr oil pan will work on all B-series.
