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.

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

check out http://coolazz.tripod.com/turbo.html, they have instructions on a complete turbo set up, including oil pan drilling, I hope that helps.
